Learning outcomes:

At the end of the course the learner will be able to:

  • Perform a variety of welding operations with a KUKA robot.
  • Understand the key principles of robotic welding.
  • Operate a Robotic Welding station through an HMI.


    Course Content

    • Safety when working with an industrial robot.
    • Basic knowledge of the structure of a robot system
    • Moving the robot manually, axes and cartesian jogging.
    • Starting and executing robot programs manually and in automatic mode.
    • Human-machine communication, robot states (I/O signals, timers, cyclical flags, counters).
    • Reading and interpreting robot controller messages
    • Introduction to robotic welding and overview of the applications and industries where robotic welding is used.
    • Robot Control with ArcTech application software – introduce technology package needed to plan, configure and carry out welding tasks.
    • Configuring the weld parameters via the robot and weld source interfaces.
    • Generate the program structure of a welding routine and learn about robot position while welding – setting angle of attack and working angle.
    • Execute a series of different weld – linear and circular fillet welds, butt welds, lap joints, etc.
    • Learn about the different weave patterns that can be utilised when welding.
