최근 작업장에서 용접을 위해 로봇을 도입하는 사례가 많다. 단순한 장소뿐만 아니라 선체 블록 내와 같은 제약된 장소에서도 로봇을 많이 사용한다. 그렇기 때문에 로봇의 다양화와 고기능화가 더욱더 요구되고 있다. 로봇의 용접을 위한 위빙 궤적은 용접 품질과 생산성에 큰 영향을 주기 때문에 중요하다. 그러나 로봇을 도입하여 열악한 작업 환경에서 유연한 동작을 적용하기에는 말은 시행착오와 비용이 소요된다. 그래서 용접 로봇의 도입 이전 단계에서 위빙 궤적이 작업 환경에 맞게 로봇에 적용되는지 확인하는 것이 필요하다.(중략)

In this paper, we propose a new weaving trajectory algorithm for the arc welding of a articulated manipulator. The algorithm uses the theory of Bezier spline. We make a comparison between the conventional algorithms using Catmull-Rom curve and the new algorithms using Bezier spline. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated based on the MATLAB environment in order to illustrate its good performance. Through simulations, the proposed algorithm can result in high-speed and flexible weaving trajectory planning so that it's trajectory cannot penetrate into a base metal compared to the conventional algorithm using Catmull-Rom curve.

In this paper, we propose a new weaving trajectory algorithm for the are welding of a articulated manipulator. The algorithm uses the theory of Bezier spline. We make a comparison between the conventional algorithms using Catmull-Rom curve and the new algorithms rising Bezier spline. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated based on the MATLAB environment in order to illustrate its good performance. The algorithm has been implemented on to the industrial manipulator of DR6 so as to show its real possibility. Through simulations and real implementations, the proposed algorithm can result in high-speed and flexible weaving trajectory planning and can reduce the processing time because it needs one-half calculation compared to the conventional algorithm using Catmull-Rom curve.
