Study of off-line programming system of arc robot based on the software of ROBOGUIDE

Abstract

Based on research and application of ROBOGUIDE which is an off-line programming system of arc robot, the mathematic model of complex welding seam is built up based on the re-exploit of Auto-CAD. It is deduced that the projection vector of characteristics coordinate of welding seam relative to reference coordinates. According to the method of RPY, the changed angle and displacement of characteristics coordinate of welding seam relative to reference coordinates is calculated in order to provide exact data information for ROBOGUIDE.In ROBOGUIDE these data will be used to build up coordinates frame of welding points for simulation. This study is very important to off-line programming of arc robot in spaced welding. © 2007 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
