How does our autonomous robotic welding equipment work?
The AGT BeamMaster and LayoutMaster technology combined with Cortex software give us a unique edge and have powered our production to a new level.
The Cortex software creates hundreds of unique, tailor-made robotic programmes that are ready-to-use on the shop floor by batch processing an entire 3D building (using TEKLA, Advanced Steel). This eliminates the need to programme each beam individually. We also spend less time moving steel around. Once we load the beam inside the AGT’s beam rotators we don’t need the crane until it’s completely fit and welded, ready for paint.The beam rotation is handled automatically throughout the entire fitting and welding process which means the robot and operator switch zones to optimise efficiency.
The LayoutMaster is a full-colour laser projection system that projects all the information an operator needs to precisely tack-weld connection on the beam or on other connections. With the ability to instantaneously project the required details directly on the workpiece the LayoutMaster saves time associated with reading and interpreting drawings, measuring, marking and verification. Needing only a few seconds to establish the orientation of the beam and re-verifying over the beam length, the LayoutMaster turns a tedious fitting operation into a simple and fast pick-place-tack operation.
The BeamMaster can also be used like a standard robotic welding system to weld panels, short sub-assemblies, small skids or other miscellaneous assemblies. This system thus allows for extreme efficiency and flexibility with less reliance on manual labour.
