Welding seam tracker
Jet Line Engineering
Maintaining a consistent position of the torch over the weld joint is absolutely critical for automated welding. The JST Optical Seam Tracking System is ideal in applications where the standard tactile probe cannot sense the joint. A camera within the sensor “sees” a feature in the laser stripe that is projected on the weld joint. This causes the cross slides to maintain a consistent torch to weld joint position. Tack welds and tight joint fit-up present no problem.
Cyclomatic Tactile Seam Trackers
Maintaining a consistent position of the torch over the weld joint is absolutely critical for automated welding. Tactile seam tracking employs an electromechanical probe that is mounted ahead of the torch. The probe has a tip that rides in the weld joint and when deflected causes the motorized slides to respond vertically or horizontally. The tactile seam tracker can be used to initially find the weld joint, the
