Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the IRPS Instant Robot Programming System, designed to efficiently automate welding processes for small batch sizes, particularly in steel and metal construction. It addresses the challenge of high programming effort for small batches and offers a solution that makes automated welding economically viable even for batch size 1.

Key Benefits of IRPS
  • Minimum Programming Effort: Significant time savings and increased system efficiency without the need for a CAD workplace.
  • Recognition of Position and Tolerances: Ensures excellent weld quality and eliminates the need for re-teaching.
  • Reduction of Clamping Devices: Lowers investment costs and minimizes non-productive times.
  • Shortened Planning Times: Facilitates just-in-time production, reduces personnel and material binding, and ensures quick delivery periods.
  • Intuitive Operation: Allows flexible personnel use with minimal training, and no prior knowledge of robot programming or welding is necessary.

IRPS Functionalities
The system offers various functions for processing 3D data of workpieces, including:
  • Adjusting weld length, direction, and order.
  • Modifying torch angle and distance.
  • Changing welding parameters and setting tack points.
  • Inserting tactile 2D search runs and creating paths for multi-layer welding.

Operational Workflow
  1. Placing: The operator positions the tacked workpiece on the robot station.
  2. Scanning: A scanner on a linear track scans the robot system's working surface and saves the data.
  3. Visualising: The IRPS converts scanner data into a 3D model, compares it with saved component geometry, and generates the welding program automatically.
  4. Welding: The operator initiates welding via a button on the IRPS screen.

IRPS Instant Robot Programming System-3

The operator freely positions the tacked workpiece on the robot working station. The scanner mounted at a linear track scans the working surface of the robot system and saves the result. The IRPS converts the saved scanner data into a 3D model. From the comparison of the 3D model with the component geometry saved in the IRPS the welding program is generated automatically. Then the IRPS sends the completely generated program including all welding data to the robot controller. The operator starts welding via a button at the IRPS screen.
