- Abstract
Traditionally, the studies dealing with the robotic gas metal arc welding (GMAW) focus on the correlations between the technological parameters, regarded as input values and the characteristics of the arc welding, represented by the output or quality parameters. Such approaches look at the final product in terms of the geometry of the welding bead and the mechanical properties of the welded joint only from the point of view of correlating the technological parameters of the welding regime without taking into account the system as a whole (for example, the robotic system, the clamping and fixing devices, planning the trajectory of the robot, designing the edges of the welded elements, etc.) on the final result. This is because it is difficult to understand the influence of the component parts on the quality and the productivity of the process and, at the same time, due to the complexity of the design of such a robotic welding system. With this article (part I and II), the author intended to create an original approach to the way in which robotic GMAW systems are designed and improved; the proposed methodology, which gravitates around the idea of systematically introducing innovations in the solutions, the design and improvement process being directed towards the needs of the stakeholders and those of the process. Part I of the article presents the proposed methodology to increase robotic arc welding system performance and identification of their performance characteristics; so that in Part II of the article the quality planning of the robotic system will be made.
