The Anthropomorphic Six Axis Robot as an Appropriate Tool for Automatic Gas Pipe Welding Process

Abstract:

This paper presents current technologies used for pipe welding. Welding processes such as Tandem and Hybrid (Laser-GMAW) welding are compared to regular 1-wire GMAW. The device used for positioning the welding head is an anthropomorphic robot, as this type of robot provides everything needed for the application: low cost, flexibility, sufficient payload and precision.
