Ninety percent of the welding robots currently in service work in the “teaching reproduction” mode, and a few work in trajectory planning. During the welding process, there is a certain error between the welding torch and the center of the weld, and the welding process is a complex, non-linear, and interfering process. The hot deformation, undercut, misalignment, and weld gap change of the welded workpiece. It is unpredictable, and these factors will directly affect the quality of welding. On the basis of "teaching reproduction" or trajectory planning application, real-time weld rectification can further improve the welding precision, especially suitable for the workpiece production which is difficult to control by automatic welding such as welding deformation and assembly complexity in auxiliary engineering. In this paper, based on the butt welding of the new spacecraft fuel tank LF6 aluminum alloy 2 mm thin plate, for the pulse tungsten inert gas shielded welding (GT AW) welding method, the seam tracking test is carried out on the flat straight and flat flanges. The traditional "teaching reproduction" type robot was developed into an arc welding robot system with real-time weld tracking.

毫米. The welding speed is 2. 6 mm / s. The welding frequency is 2 Hz, the pulse current is 2 Hz, the base current is 50 A, the peak current is 125 A, and the welding speed is 2. 6 mm / s.

1. 2 image acquisition and processing

1. 2. 1 open small window analysis

The "small window" is used to obtain the weld feature information, and a small window of 100 frames x 120 frames is opened in the weld area, and only the image in this window is processed. This window contains the feature information needed to perform weld tracking and reduces a large amount of unnecessary image information. The CCD camera and the wire feeder are fixed on the welding gun, that is, the relative positions of the welding gun, the tungsten electrode and the wire feeder on the image plane are unchanged, and the axis of the CCD camera, the axis of the welding torch, and the The weld is adjusted to the same plane, so that the projection of the axis of the torch on the image plane is a horizontal line, which provides a convenient condition for subsequent tracking.

1. 2. 2 image processing algorithm

In the test, the upper and lower edges of the weld are first extracted, and after the pseudo-point is removed, the least squares fitting is performed to obtain the weld center line. The image processing algorithm flow mainly includes image restoration, median filtering, edge finding, pseudo-point removal and least squares fitting, as shown in Figure 2.

Weld image processing flow

The inverse filter method is used for image restoration, and 3x3 template median filtering is used. The gray value of the current pixel is obtained by the intermediate value of the gray value of its 8 neighborhood pixels.

After observing and analyzing the image, it was found that the edge of the weld was greatly changed in gray scale compared with other areas. Therefore, the weld edge points are determined according to the rate at which the gradation value changes, that is, the two points at which the rate change is the largest in each column as the upper and lower edge points of the weld. This edge detection algorithm is based on the characteristics of a 2 mm thin plate. Without the bevel, large gray scale changes at the weld are easily captured in the entire image, and the smaller calculation amount of such an algorithm does not affect the calculation. Real-time image processing.

After the above image processing, the weld edge is not accurately obtained, and there are still false edges. How to remove the false edge points and identify the true weld edge is the most difficult and most critical technology in image processing. The pseudo edge points are removed by scanning the 24 neighborhoods from the upper and lower directions to the middle by progressive scanning. Since the edge of the weld is continuously changed, it is assumed that the image processing error is within 2 pixels. If there is no adjacent feature point in the neighborhood of a certain feature point 24, the point is considered to be a false edge point or an isolated point.
