This invention relates to a tooling fixture for robotic
welding of cable trays, comprising a support frame, a side plate clamping mechanism, and a crossbar clamping mechanism. The support frame is divided into a feeding area, a
welding area, and a discharging area. The side plate clamping mechanism has multiple sets, each containing symmetrical side plate clamping units. A linkage drive mechanism is installed in the drive box at the bottom of the support frame to drive the clamping units to open and close quickly, adjusting the side plate spacing. The crossbar clamping mechanism uses a
servo motor to drive two sets of
conveyor belt mechanisms arranged in a stepped manner to clamp and convey the crossbars. The crossbar spacing is controlled by adjusting the motor start-stop interval, and a limit baffle is installed at the feeding position. The
welding area includes a welding
station and a welding
robot, with pneumatic
grippers on both sides, equipped with crossbar and side plate detection units. After detection, the conveyor mechanism is stopped and welding operations begin. A side plate limit mechanism is also provided. This invention is adaptable to cable trays of different sizes, offering high versatility and production flexibility, a high degree of
automation, convenient feeding, short
downtime, reduced equipment investment, and improved production efficiency.
