Summary

An automated manipulating system, which performs the task of loading, positioning and holding of parts in the working area of an industrial robot is discussed in this paper. The system feeds component parts for the lifting mechanisms of electric trucks to be arc-welded by the robot and then removes them, thus completing a predetermined cycle. It is a part of an actual assembly line in a standard workshop for manufacturing electric trucks. The system's operation is described in detail, and the basic technological characteristics of the welding and peripheral equipment are given. Also, some features of an original welding torch cleaning device are described. The principal approach of planning, designing and implementing robotized cells for automatic arc-welding using a robot is also discussed.
