WeldMaster Track - Precise seam tracking for stable welding processes
Consistent welding quality thanks to optical seam tracking
WeldMaster Track ensures consistent welding quality, even with component tolerances and varying seam paths. For applications where exact positioning is essential - for example in precise series processes or complex seam geometries - the system enables optical seam tracking directly during welding.
The seam position is continuously recorded and tracked directly via the axes using closed-loop control. Deviations are compensated in real time - independent of robot inaccuracies and without inaccurate traverse movements.
In many applications, the process can be implemented without filler wire, which reduces complexity and supports economical production.
How do welding processes remain stable despite tolerances?
Highest precision in seam tracking
The optical seam tracking system continuously records the seam position and precisely tracks the welding process. Closed-loop control via the axes ensures that the position is precisely maintained regardless of robot inaccuracies.
Stable welding processes despite component tolerances
Deviations in the seam position or gap are detected in real time and compensated for directly. This ensures that the welding quality remains constant - even with varying components and complex seam sequences.
Efficient welding without filler wire
In many applications, the process can be realized without additional material. This reduces the amount of material used, simplifies the process and increases cost-effectiveness.
