Laser Seam Tracking System for Industrial Robots

FV Series Laser Weld Seam Tracking System
High Accuracy · Contactless · Real-Time Tracking for Robotic & Specialized Welding
The FV Series is a laser weld seam tracking system made up of laser sensors and a monitoring terminal. The laser sensor actively acquires and processes weld seam information in real time and communicates with the industrial robot, while the monitoring terminal is used to supervise and configure the sensor. The system performs weld seam position finding, real-time tracking
A laser is used as a light source to emit a certain wavelength of laser light onto the surface of the weld, forming a laser strip which is received and imaged by a HD camera at another location. After a series of algorithms, the 3D features of the weld are converted into images, generating structured information about the position and shape of the object being measured. This provides the robot with the path it needs to guide the welding process. It is characterised by high accuracy, contactless and high speed.

FV Series Laser Weld Seam Tracking System

High Accuracy · Contactless · Real-Time Tracking for Robotic & Specialized Welding

The FV Series is a laser weld seam tracking system made up of laser sensors and a monitoring terminal. The laser sensor actively acquires and processes weld seam information in real time and communicates with the industrial robot, while the monitoring terminal is used to supervise and configure the sensor. The system performs weld seam position finding, real-time tracking and pre-weld scanning without programming, meeting the needs of intelligent automated welding.

Working Principle

A laser of a defined wavelength is projected onto the surface of the weld seam, forming a laser stripe that is received and imaged by an HD camera at another location. Through a series of algorithms, the 3D features of the weld seam are converted into images and structured information about the position and shape of the measured object is generated. This provides the robot with the path needed to guide the welding process — characterized by high accuracy, contactless measurement and high speed.

Key Features

  • Compact and highly integrated — built-in controller, small size, low power consumption, easy to disassemble.

  • Well-protected design — reliable internal structure for complex, harsh industrial production environments; built-in air cooling / air knife system; professional electrical protection against high-frequency electromagnetic and electrostatic interference.

  • Strong real-time tracking — highly efficient image detection algorithm and fast image processing; unique tracking and calibration algorithms achieve real-time tracking.

  • Strong anti-interference — stable performance under strong arc light and electromagnetic interference.

  • Flexible and versatile — plug-and-play; full weld type support; customized detection algorithms for non-standard welds; communication protocols for more than 40 robot brands; different resolutions apply to both laser welding and MIG welding.

  • Simple operation — complete software interface with a guided parameter-setting process and detailed instruction menus, so even non-experts can get started quickly.
