MOTOSense 3.0

Overview

MOTOSense 3.0 vision system

MOTOSense 3.0 vision system gives Yaskawa robots a functionality to detect, scan or follow and weld along the actual trajectory in real time. The system may be used in TIG, GMAW (MIG/MAG) processes. Moreover, it supports vision tasks for a wide range of materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, etc.

All prepared Macro jobs, vision parameterisation and supporting options make MOTOSense 3.0 system the right tool for adaptive robot welding application. It makes perfect welding results for the most difficult welding tasks. The complete solution offers an extremely flexible platform, which consists of MOTOSense imaging module, Imaging Process Controller and interface connection to Yaskawa YRC 1000 controller.

Optional features

Camera module:
• Automatic docking station for imaging module
• Servo adjustable camera module for changeable curves
• Different optic configuration (working area)

Vision features:
• Custom seam geometry algorithms
• Logging of image sequences during active sensor cycle (ON-OFF) for offline analysis/optimisation
• Applicable welding technologies: GMAW (MIG/MAG), TIG

Others:
• Additional communication protocols (Profibus, Profinet, IO communication)
• Remote support/optimisation possible (via Ethernet)
 

• Reduced cost of jigs due to an absolute part positioning and repeatability is not required
• Unique solution for zero gap butt seam sensing
• Flexible solution for specific welding tasks
• Integrated solution for Yaskawa robot controllers
