Tiivistelmä
The objective of the research was to develop semi-automatic robot welding, which can fulfill the requests of PrePipe Oy and the workshops. The reason for the research is due to a lack of qualified welders as per the company’s requirement, which causes delay in the completion of projects. The studies focused on modular workstation design, risk analysis, economic analysis, programming and robotic interface. The work was commissioned by PrePipe Oy.
Data for this study was gathered from internet sources, books, online training from UR academy, interviews with Pronius Oy for the welding machine, Posicraft Oy for robot & robot communication interfaces, PrePipe Project management about work schedules, and from the Nordic welding expo 2018.
The results of this study justify the implementation of a robotic system in the company and workstations would improve the work productivity and quality with higher ROI and shorter payback period for the investments, as well as preventing health hazards for humans.
