CLIMBING ROBOT WITH SURFACE TRANSITION AND END-TO-END WELDING CAPABILITIES FOR CONFINED-SPACE APPLICATIONS

摘要

CLIMBING ROBOT WITH SURFACE TRANSITION AND END-TO-END WELDING CAPABILITIES FOR CONFINED-SPACE APPLICATIONS 5 The disclosure relates to a welding robot having a carriage, a straight-line mechanism, a welding torch module and a self-alignment module. The carriage is configured to provide surface transition capability between orthogonal surfaces. The straight-line mechanism is configured to enable a welding torch produce straight-line end-to-end welding seam. The welding torch module is configured to support the 10 torch at least while the welding torch is performing welding. The self-alignment module is configured to adjust heading of the welding robot such that the robot is parallel to a target wall. 15 (Figure 4)
