  • Publication number: 20240100615
    Abstract: A welding system includes: a setting apparatus configured to move a material to be welded to a desired welding position according to a disturbance condition of the material to be welded 1; a welding robot configured to weld, according to a working condition, the material to be welded moved by the setting apparatus; an inspection apparatus configured to inspect a welding quality of the material to be welded that is welded at a current time; a storage apparatus configured to store the working condition for the current time, the disturbance condition for the current time, and the welding quality of the current time in association with one another; and a determination unit configured to change, when the welding quality of the current time stored in the storage apparatus satisfies a predetermined required quality, the corresponding disturbance condition for the current time and set the changed disturbance condition as a disturbance condition for a next time.

  • Publication number: 20230041258
    Abstract: A master unit includes a welding DB in which prescribed motion data associated with an object to be welded is stored, a state sensor which measures, as welding state data, a situation of welding by a robot which executes welding in a real environment according to the prescribed motion data, a simulated environment which imitates the real environment and notifies a worker of the welding state data, and a motion control unit which receives, as an input, worker motion data indicating a motion of welding by the worker from the simulated environment, operates the robot in the real environment by using the worker motion data instead of the prescribed motion data, and records, as new prescribed motion data, the input worker motion data in the welding DB.

  • Patent number: 6033102
    Abstract: A method and a system for controlling the mixing of raw materials for cement. Component contents of a sample material is obtained at an exit side of a mill system to obtain measured modulus values of hydraulic modulus HM, silica modulus SM, and iron modulus IM of a raw material mixture. Estimated modulus values of the component contents is determined and based on current takeout amounts of the raw materials, a mill system passage characteristic model, a component analyzer passage characteristic model, and preset component contents of the raw materials. Modulus deviation values are calculated based on differences between the estimated modulus values and the measured modulus values, and is passed through a noise removal filter. Future modulus values of the component contents are then calculated based on the raw material takeout amounts, and the preset raw material component contents. To determine predicted modulus values for calculation of updated takeout amounts.
