Design and Realization of 3-DOF Welding Manipulator Control System Based on Motion Controller

Using the hardware of motion controller. IPC. stepping motor system and so on, we develop a kind of plane curve welder. The welder adopt DLL of windows and multithreading software development technique, so it can meet the needs of plane curve weld bead, further more, software system of plane curve welder use modular design, some module are of generality. AutoCAD VBA software package use point-by-point comparison method, which guaranteed welding gun keeping superposition with normal of welding curve in welding process. Practice has proved, this system realize accuracy controlling of welding-torch position and gesture in the whole welding process. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
