Safe operation of column and boom welding manipulator

An automatic welding manipulator can perform various welding seams and various welding methods on metal containers and metal welded structural parts. It is widely used in many industries such as wind power equipment, pressure vessels, petrochemical industry, pipelines, steel structures, boilers, shipbuilding and overlay welding. For this large industrial welding equipment, safe use is an essential topic. Today we will talk about the safe operation of welding manipulators.

This passage is going to talk about the following components of welding column and boom:

1) Precautions for use

2) Routine maintenance of welding manipulator

3) Conclusion

1) Precautions for use

The personnel operating the welding manipulator must be familiar with the performance, structure and transmission system of the equipment and be licensed to work. Remember to lubricate the welding manipulator frequently.

Before we use the welding manipulator to weld the workpiece, we need to conduct a trial run. Check whether the horizontal arm up and down, left and right movement, limit, speed adjustment is normal, whether the movement is smooth, and whether the head adjustment is normal. Check whether the flux recovery device is normal. Check whether the voltage and current adjustment of the welding machine is normal.

When the welding robot is welding, it is strictly forbidden to stand under the horizontal arm and around the roller frame.

When the welding manipulator is rotating, pay attention to whether the power supply line pipe is crushed and damaged.

Whether it is stretching, lifting or rotating, when it is necessary to change the direction, you must switch to the stop position first and then change the direction.

When using the welding manipulator, if abnormalities are found. Such as vibration, strange noise, jamming, etc., should immediately stop and notify the maintenance.

The welding of various welds refers to the welding process.

Welding manipulator in the welding process, you need to manually add flux according to the amount used, while using flux recovery device.

After using the welding manipulator, the beam needs to be lowered to the balance position to keep the center of gravity stable, and then cut off the power.

Flux is recovered and stored in the designated place.

Place the welded workpiece at the designated location.

Do the clean and sanitary work of the equipment and site carefully.

2) Routine maintenance of welding manipulator

All moving parts, guides and rollers of a welding manipulator should be lubricated with grease. The enclosed transmission parts should be lubricated to keep the parts moving flexibly. The key is to keep the flat wheel and eccentric wheel assembly, to ensure that they are loose and tight, and to ensure that the cross-arm movement is straight.

Remember to frequently inspect and clean the moving parts of the guide rails, slide frames, screws and nuts. Prevent dust accumulation, flux flyaway and other debris from affecting the flexible movement of the moving parts. Do not allow collision or wear the combination surface of each sliding guide. Often check the wear and tear of the key moving parts such as screws and racks, and repair or replace them when problems are found.

The chain inside the welding manipulator is a wearing part and should be removed and inspected at least once a year.

Frequently check the flexibility and reliability of each stroke switch. Mechanical protection block is not losing or damaged.

The fuse of the circuit should be used as specified and the specification should not be changed at will. If the fuse blows, the cause should be identified and replaced after troubleshooting.

Check the circuit connectors frequently to keep the connection firm and plugged in and out reliably.

Need to blow the dust in the workstation controller and handheld communicator with compressed air every quarter. Keep relays, knobs, switches, etc. clean and in good contact to avoid misoperation.
