3 DIMENSIONAL WELDING SPM / PATH TRACER

Design and Manufacturing of 3D Welding Special Purpose Machine has been presented in this paper. Instead of using a Programmed Robot we designed and manufactured a SPM. Catia V5 has been used for designing and manufacturing of the machine with basic manufacturing processes. Conventional manual methods of welding have been replaced by automation by 3D Welding SPM. In the past path generation was for only two dimensions and no special purpose machine was invented for 3 dimensional automated welding, so we have invented a machine which will allow automated welding in 3D axis with the help of four different assemblies of basic mechanical components. Successful results have increased the accuracy and efficiency in welding process and also have cut the machining time.
