Virtual Collision Space Verification

Virtual collision space checking simulates the welding robot and its movements to prevent potential collisions and protect the hardware.

Physicochemical Mechanism of Action

The software algorithms reconstruct the work envelope of the welding robot, including the torch geometry and all surrounding objects. They simulate the robot's movements and check for potential collisions between the robot and other elements in the work envelope.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

Collisions can cause severe damage to hardware, such as the robot shoulder joint or the torch head. This can not only cost time and money but also interrupt production. Virtual collision space checking can identify and avoid such risks in advance.

Workshop Practice & Action Instructions

Before starting a welding operation, perform a detailed virtual collision space check. Make sure all objects in the work envelope are correctly entered and the robot's motion ranges are precisely simulated. If collisions are detected, adjust the robot paths or the positions of surrounding objects to minimize the risk.
