ESAB 推出 ROBBI AI 协作焊接机器人系统
ESAB Launches ROBBI AI Cobot
ESAB 推出 ROBBI AI 协作机器人系统，用物理人工智能感知并响应 MIG 和 TIG 焊接的实际工况。该系统不依赖预设机器人路径和焊接顺序，而是通过相机与激光传感评估焊接环境、实时决策，并随工况变化调整焊接运动和工艺参数。ESAB 表示，该系统设计上免去操作者手动示教焊接路径的环节，包括一张工作台上装夹多个零件的情形。ROBBI AI 可搭配 EWM Titan XQ、EWM Tetrix XQ 或 ESAB Aristo Edge 电源使用，面向小批量多品种、接头装配间隙波动等难自动化场景，例如管道制造和 TIG 焊接。ESAB 先进技术解决方案副总裁 Dan Colvin 称，物理人工智能把智能直接带入焊接过程，系统会评估接头、决定如何推进并在焊接中做出调整。
North Bethesda, Md. – ESAB introduces ROBBI AI™, a new cobot system that uses physical artificial intelligence (AI) to sense and respond to real-world welding conditions in MIG and TIG welding. Unlike conventional approaches that rely on predefined robot paths and weld sequences, ROBBI AI uses camera and laser sensing to assess the welding environment, make decisions in real time, and adjust welding motion and process parameters as conditions change.
The system is designed to eliminate the need for the operator to manually teach weld paths, including when multiple parts are fixtured on a table. ROBBI AI works with EWM Titan XQ, EWM Tetrix XQ or ESAB Aristo Edge power sources and is aimed at some of manufacturing’s hardest welding jobs: high-quality work on low-volume, high-mix runs and applications where joint fit-up varies.
These include pipe fabrication, TIG welding and other work that requires hard-to-find skilled welders and is difficult to automate. “Physical AI brings intelligence directly into the welding process,” says Dan Colvin, Vice President, Advanced Technology Solutions, ESAB. “Instead of programming every movement and anticipating every possible variation, ROBBI AI assesses the joint, determines how to proceed and can make adjustments while welding.”
