On the Development of a Gas Metal Arc Welding Robot Controller

가스금속 아아크 용접용(Gas Metal Arc Welding) 로보트제어기 개발에 관한 개론

GoldStar Industrial Systems Co. R & D center successfully developed the inverter for welding under the support of GoldStar Electric Machinery Co. Now, we are currently working on the mechanical part of articulated robot and a high-performance general purpose motion controller. By combining the above three items, we will be able to constitute the complete welding robot system on our own. In this article. the welding robot system currently under developing is introduced. The main focus will be placed on the development of general purpose motion controller with welding control module. Therefore, the architecture of welding robot controller where the general purpose motion controller is combined with the welding controller module will be explained. Here, the software system will be explained with regard to the hardware system.
