…arm can automate the removal of weld beads. Source: ARM Institute Researchers rely on ATI sensor Lead by Changliu Liu, an assistant professor at the Robotics Institute, the research team developed a robotic weld-bead removal system. Its objective was to produce a system that was not only safe and efficient, but also cost-effective. The automatic weld-bead removal system runs autonomously and can remove material quickly and effectively from tube-shaped welded parts. The team designed a fully-automated, active compliance system that was able to successfully locate, measure, and remove the weld bead from the tube’s interior and verify process completion. The…
