May 10: Yaskawa Webinar Explores Automation of Weld Seam Tracking

A May 10 webinar from Yaskawa will feature guest hosts from Wenglor Sensoric. Attendees will learn how to fully automate weld seam tracking for the utmost quality and precision with smart sensor technology!

From high rework rates and challenging fit up to finding skilled welders and more, on-going production challenges, where welding is concerned, continue to permeate the industrial landscape. To increase productivity and address on-going struggles, manufacturers are turning to optical seam tracking and finding technology.

Capable of cultivating transformative benefits, common outcomes include reduced set up time, minimized manual intervention and rework, and improved overall weld quality, according to a company spokesperson.

To learn how to fully automate weld seam tracking for the utmost quality and precision, join guest hosts Michael Richter and Evan Schott from Wenglor Sensoric, as they provide an overview of weCat3D MLZL laser camera and how it can be deployed for optical seam finding and seam tracking applications.

Topic Highlights:

• Brief discussion of on-going industry struggles
• Basic overview of weCat3D MLZL laser camera
  • Hardware
  • Software
  • Direct robot interface to MotoEye LT
• Helpful presentation of use cases
• Other discussion points
  • Compensating component fluctuation (i.e., warp caused from welding process)
  • Being able to determine the ideal welding position
  • Enhancing safety through fully automated welding
  • Improving consistency for quality and accuracy
  • Targeting skilled workers and reducing demand
• Technical Q&A session
