OPTICAL SEAM TRACKING SENSOR FOR AUTOMATED AND ROBOTIC WELDING APPLICATIONS
TH6x by Abicor Binzel corrects and tracks welding seam in real time.
Posted: December 31, 2019
In-process optical seam tracking with TH6x paves the way to the perfect welding seam for robotic or automated welding applications.
Using a combination of laser lines and camera, ABICOR BINZEL’s use of laser triangulation allows the course of the welding seam to be tracked and corrected in real time on the Y and Z axis.
TH6x optical seam tracking sensor is an innovative system solution for diverse applications in automated welding. Its sturdy design and enhanced optical lens capability guarantees smooth operation – even very close to the process – thanks to the integrated incident light filter.
Features and benefits of TH6x include:
- High-performance signal evaluation for reliable seam guiding
- Effective on reflective surfaces like aluminum and stainless steel
- Contact-free and independent of both system and process
- Pre-loaded weld joints allow for easy programming and operation with just a few adjustments
- For use on MIG, TIG, and Sub-arc processes for Robotic and Hard Automation welding applications
