|
The welding of stainless
steel tanks for hot water systems and heating systems requires an accurate
seam guiding. The low sheet thickness requires a high-precision guiding.
The prepared parts might have tolerances. Normally, a mechanical guiding
system is insufficient for the possible deviations of seam position. However,
that will be no problem for the M2D scanner. |
| Solution |
|
|
| The manufacturer of the welding
unit has integrated two laser scanners of the type M2D-75/30
for simultaneous seam guiding on both sides of the boiler. That way,
cover and bottom will be welded in one work step. |
The
MEL i-Control is an ultra compact industrial
PC with additional interfaces for CAN-Bus and Profibus. With the bidirectional
communication, this PC is well equipped for automation business. The internal
processor prepares data in such way, that only control commands and results
have to be emitted and collected by interface.
The MEL software is able to operate without mouse and monitor. Of course,
you can use the peripheral devices for maintenance and parameter adjustments.
In this case, all operational adjustments and the usual operation of the
system are made via Profibus.
By control system, the operator can affect the laser intensity or the exposure
time of the camera, he can retrieve different presettings for diverse joint
geometries and adjust the filters. |

For over 20
years, MEL is the most innovative producer of intelligent sensors. Worldwide
there are several thousand laser scanners in operation. Take advantage of
our experience.
We solve problems of measurement and sensor technology. Therefore, we
build hard- and software as turnkey solution.
