Robot path generation and laser welding technology for manufacturing automotive body are studied. Laser welding and industrial robot systems are used with the robot based laser welding system. The laser system used in this study is 1.6kW Fiber laser, while the robot system is 6 axes Industrial robot (payload: 130kg). The robot based laser welding system is equipped with laser scanner system for remote laser welding. The laser source, robot and laser scanner system are used to increase the processing speed and to improve the process efficiency. The welding joints of steel plate are butt and lapped joints. The quality test of the laser welding are through the observation the shape of bead on plate and cross-section of welding part. The 3 dimensional laser welding for non-linear pipe welding line is performed. This paper introduces the robot based laser welding system to resolve the limited welding speed and accuracy of the conventional spot welding system.

원격레이저 용접은(RLW)은 고속으로 고품질의 용접을 가능하게 하고 특히 자동차산업에 적용할 때 그 장점이 발휘된다. RLW은 로봇의 말단과 스캐너가 동시에 움직이도록 설계되는데 적합한 위치에 용접을 하기 위해서는 말단의 움직임에 대한 보상이 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 스캐너와 말단을 시간에 기반하여 동기화 하는 RLW을 위한 알고리즘을 보인다. 제안된 알고리즘은 두 개의 알고리즘으로 구성되어 있고 본 알고리즘으로 움직이는 말단이 원하는 위치에 용접을 가능하게 한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 효용성은 실험을 통해 보인다.

본 연구는 현장의 GMAW 용접기에 더블 와이어 릴을 겸비한 원격제어토치의 시스템에 관한 것이다. 산업현장 용접에서는 용접기 본체로부터 와이어 송급장치까지의 거리가 약 30m 떨어져 있고 송급장치로부터 토치까지의 거리는 약 3~5m 정도이다. 이에 따라 차량 및 탱크 내부의 용접에서 제어 패널을 볼 수 없는 곳이나 작업장이 먼 곳 등에서 용접사가 용접을 하면서 용접조건에 맞는 전류와 전압을 조절할 수가 없고 또한 용접와이어가 완전히 소모되면 용접을 중단하고 와이어 릴을 갈아 끼워야하는 번거로운 문제점이 있다. 이 때문에 전류와 전압 조절 및 와이어를 교체하기 위해 용접을 중단하고 잦은 이동으로 용접구조물의 순간적인 냉각에 의해 용접결함이 발생된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 제반 문제를 감소하기 위해 기존의 GMAW 용접기의 제반기능을 토대로 간소화 및 합리화하여 더블 와이어 릴을 겸비한 원격제어토치를 자체 제작하였다. 실험은 SM50A 용접구조용 압연강재 6mm를 사용하여 와이어 더블 릴을 겸비한 원격제어 토치와 기존 $CO_2$ /MAG 용접토치를 V형 맞대기 수직자세로 용접을 실행하였다. 용접 완료 후 용접부의 표면비드 상태의 형상을 육안검사 관찰하고 또한 이를 방사선투과검사를 통해 용접부의 내부 용접품질에 대하여 용접현상을 분석하였다. 이 연구를 통해 용접결함 감소, 원가절감 및 기존 상용용접기에 교체사용에 대한 성능 및 호환성여부에 미치는 영향에 대해 평가하였다.

The Remote welding system(RWS) using $CO_2$ laser equipment has focusable distance of laser beam longer than 800 mm from workpiece and can deflect the laser beam by the scanner mirrors very rapidly. In the case of normal welding system based on robot, there is a limit to move the shortest path in short time and this causes interference between robot and workpiece. On the other hand, RWS is the optimized equipment to get big merits with advanced sequence of welding and short cycle time. However, there is still a pending task such as the control of plasma in the welding process of thick sheets therefore, it requires high power laser beam because of the absence of assist gas equipment in itself. In this study, high-tensile steel plates were overlap welded with $CO_2$ RWS for the production of car body and the influence of penetration depth according to the existence of assist gas was analyzed. Excellent tensile strength with enough width of molten zone independent to penetration depth was observed under welding condition with 3.6 kW laser power and 2.8 m/min welding speed without assist gas. Finally, the proto-type automotive parts were produced by applying the deduced optimal welding condition.

Real time monitoring has become critical as the use of laser welding increases. Plasma and spatter are measured and used as the signal for estimating weld quality. The estimating algorithm was made using the fuzzy pattern recognition with the area of data that is beyond the tolerance boundary. Also, an algorithm that detects the spatter and the localized defect was created in order to kd the partially produced pit and the sudden loss of weld penetration. These algorithms were used in quality monitoring of the $CO_2$ laser tailored blank weld. Statistical program that can display the laser weld quality result and the signal transition was made for the first stage of the remote control system.

This paper proposes the application of sensor technology to assemble ship blocks efficiently. A sensor-based monitoring system is designed and implemented to improve shipbuilding productivity by reducing the labor cost for the adjustment of adequate positioning between ship blocks during pre-erection or erection stage. For the real-time remote monitoring of relative distances between two ship blocks, sensor nodes are applied to measure the distances between corresponding target points on the blocks. Highly precise positioning data can be transferred to a monitoring server via wireless network, and analyzed to support the decision making which needs to determine the next construction process; further adjustment or seam welding between the ship blocks. The developed system is expected to put to practical use, and increase the productivity during ship blocks assembly.

Toshiba has developed a laser peening system for PWRs(pressurized water reactors) as well after the one for BWRs(boiling water reactors), and applied it for BMI(bottom-mounted instrumentation) nozzles, core deluge line nozzles and primary water inlet nozzles of Ikata Unit 1 and 2 of Shikoku Electric Power Company since 2004, which are Japanese operating PWR power plants. Laser pulses were delivered through twin optical fibers and irradiated on two portions in parallel to reduce operation time. For BMI nozzles, we developed a tiny irradiation head for small tubes and we peened the inner surface around J-groove welds after laser ultrasonic testing (LUT) as the remote inspection, and we peened the outer surface and the weld for Ikata Unit 2 supplementary. For core deluge line nozzles and primary water inlet nozzles, we peened the inner surface of the dissimilar metal welding, which is of nickel base alloy, joining a safe end and a low alloy metal nozzle. In this paper, the development and the actual application of the laser peening system for PWR power plants will be described.

After building a ship in a shipyard, there are so many repeated inspection of welding seam defects and painting status before delivering to the ship's owner. An inspection on the bottom part of a ship in commercial service should be done in every two years for the purpose of safety and for the prevention of ship speed deterioration. conventional welding seam inspection systems are rely on the visual inspection by human or the ultrasonic inspection for the selective part of a ship. This paper suggests a remote controlled inspection system for the examination of large ships or steel structures. The proposed system moves in contact with the ship under inspection and have a CCD camera to provide visual-guidance information to a remotely located human worker. Additionally this system utilizes a weld line tracking algorithm for an optimal position control. We verified the effectiveness of the inspection system by experimental data.
