Abstract

The invention discloses a method for calibrating a welding gun of a marine pipe welding robot and a laser welding seam tracking sensor. A gap of 45 degrees to 135 degrees is made on a metal plate; 3 points are found on the gap of a calibrating plate by using a touch position-finding function of a welding power source; a tip point coordinate P<1> of the gap is calculated according to the geometricprinciple; then P<2> is obtained by using a laser sensor to output the lowest point coordinate mode; and finally a space vector T of hand-eye calibration is obtained. According to the invention, aftermanual teaching, the robot automatically performs the preset hand-eye calibration steps, and the entire calibration process is performed automatically without human intervention.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robot arc welding, in particular to a calibration method of a robot welding torch and a laser seam tracking sensor. Background technique [0002] The laser seam tracking sensor is widely used in the welding field of marine pipe welding robots, and is used to correct the deviation of the welding track in real time during the welding process. In order to accurately apply the parameters of the laser seam tracking sensor to the trajectory correction of the robot, hand-eye calibration must be performed first after the laser seam tracking sensor is installed. There are many common calibration methods now, but all of them require manual intervention and specific calibration tools. Contents of the invention [0003] In order to solve the manual intervention in the calibration of the laser seam tracking sensor in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for calibrating the welding torch of the marine pipe w...
