A novel visual sensor for intelligent spherical tank welding robot

In order to realize autonomous moving and automatic weld seam tracking for intelligent spherical tank welding robot, a novel visual sensor based on linear CCD has been developed The visual sensor consists of a high resolution linear CCD chip, an optical system(including light source, filter, lenses and so on), and an all hardware photoelectric signal processing circuit With the advantages of fast response, good robustness, low cost and lightweight, the designed visual sensor could avoid the interference of the arc light during welding and provide the deviating signal of the seam trace line precisely in real time Assisted by the visual sensor, the spherical tank welding robot could move along the weld seam autonomously, could align the welding torch with weld seam automatically and meet the requirements of multi-layer, multi-pass welding process for spherical tank So that, more intelligent and automatic welding operation for spherical tank could be fulfilled
