Verification Of Tooling For Robotic Welding

Computer simulations, robotic inspections, and visual inspections performed to detect discrepancies. Method for verification of tooling for robotic welding involves combination of computer simulations and visual inspections. Verification process ensures accuracy of mathematical model representing tooling in off-line programming system that numerically simulates operation of robotic welding system. Process helps prevent damaging collisions between welding equipment and workpiece, ensures tooling positioned and oriented properly with respect to workpiece, and/or determines whether tooling to be modified or adjusted to achieve foregoing objectives.
