Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of seam tracking and detection, and in particular relates to a method for measuring a seam of a laser tailor welding curved surface and a device for realizing it. Background technique [0002] Tailored laser welding uses laser as welding energy to butt weld a number of plates with different materials, different thicknesses and different coatings. For curved surface seams, due to the different sources of the pieces to be soldered, there are differences in the quality of the edge of the pieces, it is difficult to ensure the consistency and repeatability of the entire seam size, and due to the existence of welding stress, it will make the welding process The weld gap changes. Therefore, in the welding process, it is difficult to meet the welding accuracy and quality requirements only by teaching, reproduction and pre-clamping methods. In order to ensure the welding quality and improve the adaptability of lase...
