Welding task assistance for pipe and frame constructions using a robot system

Project duration: 01.10.2009 to 30.09.2011

Project sponsor: Multimedia at the German Aerospace Center, Cologne

Project partners:
Albert Böcker GmbH & Co. KG
carat robotic innovation GmbH

Objectives:

  • Development of a marketable hardware and software assistance system (robot) for processing welding tasks in pipe and frame production
  • Reduction of overall production time through parallelization of work processes
  • Precise and ergonomically optimized processing assistance for tube and frame production
  • Connection dimension modeling for adapting the geometries to the final geometry
