Investigation of Production System for Sheet Metal Parts of Machine Tools with a Fiber Laser Welding Robot

抄録

As machine tools are required to have higher performance and more functionalities, the importance of sheet metal parts has been increasing. However, the design, functionality, and manufacturing technology of sheet metal parts of machine tools have almost never been systematically studied. Therefore. this study investigates a new production system. First, characteristics of sheet metal parts are analyzed, a fiber laser welding robot is installed to competitively manufacture sheet metal parts without relying on tacit knowledge of skilled operators, and finally, a hablanian plot is used to identify optimum welding conditions.
