The invention relates to the technical field of
welding, and discloses a teaching-free angle steel
welding method which comprises the following steps that S1, a
robot carries a 3D camera to execute self-adaptive high-angle shooting exploration, and workpiece
point cloud data are obtained until recognition succeeds or exceeds a preset exploration range; s2, dividing the ROI into grids according to the view field of the camera by taking the distance of the
point cloud detected for the first time as a reference; s3, performing expansion type multi-angle photographing from the initial grid to the periphery, stopping scanning when meeting an empty grid, and obtaining an effective area
point cloud of the workpiece; s4, performing regional progressive registration on the point clouds of the adjacent shooting regions, and eliminating registration drift through closed-loop detection and
pose image optimization; and S5, calculating the normal and curvature of the point cloud. According to the intelligent angle steel
welding method, the
robot carries the 3D camera to execute self-adaptive high-angle shooting exploration to obtain the point
cloud data of the workpiece, and therefore the problems that due to the fact that manual teaching or off-line
programming is mostly adopted in a traditional intelligent angle steel welding method, the welding efficiency is low, complex workpiece path planning consumes long time, and precision fluctuation is large are solved.
