Master-Slave Kinematics

Master-slave kinematics controls two robots synchronously for joint processing of large parts, boosting flexibility with complex geometries.

Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action

Master-slave kinematics allows a master robot (leader) to monitor and control the movements of a slave robot (follower). Both robots work in sync to perform complex tasks efficiently.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

In the welding industry, master-slave kinematics can help ensure precise and simultaneous processing of components. Lack of synchronization can lead to inaccurate weld positions or mechanical conflicts.

Workshop Practice & Action Instructions

To use master-slave kinematics successfully, both robots must be set to identical coordinate systems and motion laws. Communication between robots must always be stable and smooth to ensure precise and safe operation.
