The welding robot workstation of the special vehicle branch of Shaanxi Automobile Datong Company was officially opened

On May 23, with the sound of a crisp current, two brand-new welding robots on the welding line of the special vehicle branch of Shaanxi Automobile Datong Co. Put into use.

Walking into the welding line of the company’s special vehicle branch, the most striking thing is that the two robots “Welder” will be welding the side panels of the dump truck… The newly added two welding robots can be used for heavy-duty mining vehicles and U-shaped vehicles. , Welding production of side panels of lightweight Tianzige dump trucks. Their arrival will further enhance the production efficiency of enterprises.

Welding is a job with a lot of smoke, large heat radiation, high labor intensity and high operating skills. The side plate of the dump truck has a large amount of welding and a complex structure, and the continuous welding time often reaches several hours. Long-term high-intensity work will also make the welding accuracy of workers unstable, resulting in welding defects such as too thin, incomplete, and shallow penetration of the weld. In order to actually solve the pain points and difficulties of workers in welding quality, labor intensity and labor environment, the company launched the welding robot project at the beginning of this year, so that the welders can be truly “liberated”.

The improvements in welding efficiency and quality by robots are obvious. “One robot is equivalent to three skilled welding workers.” The company’s technicians said that as long as the relevant data is entered on the equipment, the robot will automatically weld. Not only the work efficiency is 3 times that of the original manual welding, but also the welding workpiece is more precise, the welding seam is more beautiful, and the welding strength is higher. “After the welding robot is ‘on duty’, it reduces the rework rate, saves working time, and reduces the operating cost of welding operations. The welding robot workstation has also become an important measure for the company to promote ‘smart manufacturing’, and is gaining momentum for subsequent high-quality development. energy storage,” he said.
