Pre-requisite: Setting Up for 5 Stack Ups Using Single Trigger
Using RAFT for DCIT Weld Gun Stations is intended to weld a limited range of similar metals of different stackup configurations. This technology is not meant to be used for welding extreme variations of thicknesses and material compositions. Robotic applications using RAFT can select a spot number that has a defined target of material thicknesses, material compositions with known conditions such as sealers - and so RAFT would be used for unknown disturbances that is not witnessed by a person. Manual applications using RAFT is intented to relieve the person from having to select different welding schedules. RAFT is setup for allowing the user to simply press one single trigger switch to make the welding gun apply a spot weld on a part. The RAFT will automatically adapt to weld a range of different thicknesses. The application shown on the right will be used as a case study.
