Abstract: A system for joining a first part and a second part together with a weld structure. The system includes: a welding element configured to form the weld structure between the first part and the second part; and a control module configured to operate the welding element to form the weld structure. The weld structure includes: a first curved end; a second curved end; a connecting portion connecting the first curved end and the second curved end; a first curved crown spaced apart from the first curved end and concentric with the first curved end; and a second curved crown spaced apart from the second curved end and concentric with the second curved end. The first curved end, the second curved end, and the connecting portion are between the first curved crown and the second curved crown.

Abstract: A vision inspection system for laser welds includes a scanning station to support a workpiece including one or more laser welds. A vision sensing assembly includes a top surface, a bottom surface, side surfaces, a light source, and a sensor. The light source illuminates the workpiece while the sensor generates an image of the one or more laser welds of the workpiece. A shield is arranged around the top surface and the side surfaces of the vision sensing assembly. The bottom surface of the vision sensing assembly is arranged above a lower edge of the shield by a first predetermined distance.

Abstract: A robotic system for forming a moldable workpiece is provided. The robotic system includes a robot, an end effector, an adjustment module, and a control module. The robot is configured to pass the workpiece through a machine. The end effector is configured to be attached to the robot and configured to grasp and release the workpiece. The end effector is adjustable to a plurality of different configurations. The adjustment module is configured to determine a change in the workpiece from (a) a first form of the workpiece prior to the passing of the workpiece through the machine to (b) a second form of the workpiece after passing of the workpiece through the machine. The control module is configured to adjust a present configuration of the end effector to a second configuration based on the change in the workpiece from (a) the first form to (b) the second form.
