Corporate Webinar on demand
Perfect Welding
The ifm group has developed various solutions for users and manufacturers of robot spot welding units to improve the welding quality.
Fluid management systems allow the reliable detection of worn caps, burst pipes or leaks in cooling systems, they register the cooling water quantity and, in case of a fault, they can remove the cooling water by suction. Data loggers record sensor data over a long time period and will detect any misalignment of clamping fixtures already at an early stage.
Optical systems continuously and reliably check the welding quality.
Sensor data are converted into useful information and can be made available both in the controller and the cloud via the so-called Y-path. This is a concrete step towards digitalised production that also improves the overall equipment efficiency (OEE).
Does that sound interesting? The question that remains is how to render your robot spot welding unit Industry 4.0 compatible. The answer is: with the help of intelligent sensors, networked systems and intuitive software. We will offer a webinar on this topic for anyone interested.
Are you working for a vehicle manufacturer, an automotive supplier, a manufacturer of welding robots or in a similar industry? Then you should not miss this webinar. The seminar primarily addresses people from maintenance, project planning, electrical planning, quality assurance and mechanical engineering. Those interested from other areas are also welcome.
