    摘要: A torch for use by a robot. The torch has a body that can be connected to an arm of the robot. A first actuator on the body can be activated by a user to initiate a recording cycle at a starting point of a desired welding or cutting path and to terminate the recording cycle at an ending point of the path. A second actuator on the body can be activated by the user to indicate way points from the starting point to the ending point as the user moves the torch along the path. The first actuator sends first information to a robot controller, operatively connected to and located remotely from the robot, to initiate and to terminate the recording cycle at the controller. The second actuator device sends the way points as second information to the controller to be recorded at the controller during the recording cycle.

    摘要: A welding system includes a welding torch, a power supply, one or more sensors, and a controller is provided. The welding torch advances an electrode toward a workpiece in a first direction. The power supply provides a flow of electricity to the electrode for generating a welding arc between the electrode and the workpiece. Generating the welding arc generates a weld puddle behind the welding arc as the electrode moves in the first direction. The sensor generates a voltage output signal based on the amount of light received from the weld puddle. The controller is communicatively coupled with the sensor to receive the voltage output signal, and the sensor controls a welding parameter of the welding system based the voltage output signal.

    摘要: An assembly to connect together first and second sheet members. The assembly includes a pressure device that applies pressure to the sheet members while the sheet members are in an overlapping arrangement and positioned on a support platform. A sensing system that includes one or more thin film pressure sensors detects the positions of the leading and trailing edges. A connection device connects the members together in an overlapping arrangement.
