A Multifunctional System Based on Robot Surfacing by Using Off-Line Programming

A flexible multifunctional system based on robot surfacing is established, which consists of four subsystems: central controlling subsystem, 3D laser measuring subsystem, digital gas-shield arc welding subsystem and robot subsystem. The system can be easily employed to automatic rapid forming or remanufacturing operation, under the control of the central computer by using off-line programming. Test examples on typical parts, shows the system is feasible.
