About this book
From car manufacturing to production of niche products, welding is one of the most widespread and successful applications of industrial robotics.
This book is an overview of robotic welding at the beginning of this century. The last few years-worth of evolution in robotic welding are described, illustrating the rapid innovations and featuring: Welding Technology; Sensors and Sensing Techniques; Industrial robotic welding systems; and Actual industrial application of modern-day robotic welding techniques. Containing worked examples and problems, this book will be of value to students of robotics and manufacturing engineering who wish to understand the latest robot welding technologies while also being a useful reference for active researchers and those working in industry. The book signposts future developments and aims to give readers the information they need to contribute to the next wave of development in the area of manufacturing technology.Selected for indexing by Scopus.
