Current status and development trend of automotive welding technology (3)

Application of welding robot technology

The mass production, high efficiency and consistency of product quality of automobile manufacturing have made the robot production method widely used in automobile welding. The welding robot is a welding device with independent body, high degree of freedom of operation, flexible program change, high degree of automation and high degree of flexibility. With high repeatability, good welding quality, fast moving speed and stable and reliable operation, welding robot is the best choice for flexible welding equipment. As an important part of the welding production line, welding equipment is one of the important signs of the flexibility of the welding production line. Figure 2 is a partial view of the Guangzhou Honda robot welding production line.

In China, the welding tongs equipped on the spot welding robot are all pneumatic welding tongs, and the impact force is large when welding. When the repeatability of the workpiece is poor and the electrode is at the edge of the sheet, the welding tongs are easy to slip and damage the workpiece to be welded. In foreign countries, the welding tongs for robots have gradually adopted servo welding tongs. The opening and closing of the welding tongs is controlled by servo motors, and the welding cycle of each solder joint can be greatly reduced. The electrode pressing force can realize stepless adjustment, which can reduce collision deformation and noise during welding, and can achieve precise control and improve welding quality.

In addition, from the comparison of the time pressure curves of the two welding tongs (see Figure 3), it can be seen that the electrode pressure is increased from 0 to 100% of the pressure required for welding, and the servo drive system is five times faster than the cylinder drive system. The set pressure values ​​are no longer changed during the welding process, thus ensuring a high welding quality.

Application and development trend of welding technology

1. Energy saving and control technology for resistance welding

At present, the resistance welding machine uses a large number of AC single-phase AC power supplies of 50 Hz, which has large capacity and low power factor. The development of three-phase intermediate frequency resistance welding machine, three-phase secondary rectification contact welding machine and IGBT inverter resistance welding machine can solve the problem of grid imbalance and improve power factor. Under the condition of standard welding current, the intermediate frequency spot welding machine has no splash according to the set welding current. The welding current is small, the heat of the electrode is small, the electrode usage time is prolonged, and the electric energy can be further saved, which is beneficial to realize the microcomputer control of the parameter. The weight of the device can be further reduced due to the small size and weight of the welding circuit.

2. Gas shielded welding technology

(1) Surface tension transition waveform control technology: one droplet transition is completed by two current pulses, the first pulse forms a droplet until the droplet is short-circuited with the workpiece; the second pulse is a short-time narrow pulse and is continuously detected. Di / dt, at the same time control the current pulse value to generate appropriate electromagnetic contraction force, so that the neck of the droplet shrinks, pull off the surface tension of the molten pool, complete a droplet transfer without splashing.

(2) Inverter power supply waveform control technology: Using the dynamic characteristics and controllability of the inverter power supply, waveform control is used to suppress the current rise at the initial stage of the short circuit to reduce the splash of large particles and facilitate the spread of the droplets in the molten pool. When the droplets are spread out in the molten pool, the current is rapidly increased to accelerate the formation of the necking, so that the splash is reduced when the bridge breaks.

(3) New technology of argon arc welding: argon arc welding has two kinds of non-melting poles and melting poles, which are used in the welding of non-ferrous metals and high-alloy steels in the automotive industry. In order to improve the formation of CO2 gas shielded welding and reduce splashing, a mixed gas protective weld with 80% or 20% Ar is added.
