Cutting Edge Manufacturing

One problem we have been dealing with is the laser has trouble "seeing" the seam now and then due to reflectivity of the galvanized material we are welding. We found a few solutions, but none yet yield 100% consistency.

Also, since time is of essence, we can't let the robot scan each part looking for seams to weld. Hence, the CAD dump. It tells the robot where the welding seam should be. The laser only corrects for inaccuracies between the design and reality.

I'll chat the controls engineer today and ask why we didn't go that route.
