HD Hyundai Robotics"

  • Touch Sensing

    Touch sensing is a technology used by welding robots to accurately detect the welding position before starting the operation. By bringing the welding torch into contact with the workpiece, the system detects electrical signals to compensate for position deviations. This ensures accurate weld placement and enhances overall productivity.

  • Auto Nozzle Cleaning

    Auto nozzle cleaning is an automated system that cleans the welding nozzle at preset intervals or after a welding pass. Using tools such as wire cutters, brushes, air blowers, and silicone oil applicators, it removes spatter (molten metal droplets generated during welding) and maintains the cleanliness of the electrode tip and nozzle. This process improves welding quality and extends the lifespan of the nozzle and tip.

Solution

Multi-Axis Welding with 6-Axis Robot + Gantry + Positioner

By combining a 6-axis welding robot with a gantry system (for extended movement) and a positioner (for rotation), a multi-axis welding system is created. This allows the robot to weld complex structures across a larger work area with greater flexibility.

 

01

Expanded Work Area

A single robot can handle multiple welding stations, increasing productivity. This is an ideal solution for large-scale structural welding.

 

02

Optimized Welding Positioning

Even hard-to-reach areas can be accessed using the positioner, ensuring optimal welding angles. By minimizing the effects of gravity, the system reduces defects and ensures consistent bead quality.
