R&E Engineering had started the 2019 with a series of achievements for the company! One of which is a great success in the supply and installation of a large robotic welding system for Austin Engineering back in February 2019, which features two welding robots, gantry robot positioner and state-of-the-art laser sensors.

The system is a double-gantry robotic welding system which has two robots mounted overhead on opposite sides of the gantry. This enables both robot working on the same job simultaneously to finish the job quicker. Double the robot equals double the speed!

Online laser sensors equipped on both robots, to further improve productivity during welding. The sensors enable the robots to correct the slightest positional and geometrical movement to a set tolerance in an instant. The laser sensor also calculates the most optimal parameters for the required metal deposition in the seam and apply them on the go.

A 20x10m gantry robot positioner with x, y, z translation to enable the robot to access every nook and cranny of the workpiece at the most optimal angle. The gantry area covers two workstations with fully equipped safety such as a start stop station and safety light barriers to prevent accidents from unauthorised access during welding.

Accompanied by an offline robot programming software, the system offers even more flexibility. The robot program can be developed simultaneously while the robot is welding, reducing idle and downtime of the system. The software also allows for an automatic calculation to enable the most optimum welding position/angle, reducing the workload on robot programming.

Overall, the system adheres to Australian safety standards, keeping workers safe at all times whilst improving output and quality.

We would like to thank Austin Engineering for choosing and trusting us in supplying, installing and commissioning the robotic welding system. We look forward to support Austin Engineering further!
