Fully Automatic Block Robot Welding System with Obstacle Avoidance Intelligence and Multi-Robot Synchronization for Shipbuilding

The DIG Block Robot Welding System introduces a breakthrough in robotic welding technology, engineered to automate the most challenging large-scale shipbuilding applications. The system adopts a large double-beam gantry structure, with multiple intelligent robots suspended from the gantry for coordinated collision-free welding in large hull sections.

The System is based on design software data interface and data analysis technology. Through interface data analysis, the structural model from 3D design software is restored, and weld coordinates and process parameters are automatically identified, with welding programs automatically generated through parameter-driven execution.

Fully Automatic Operation: the robot can automatically identify welds, plan welding sequences, and perform operations — achieving unmanned welding from start to finish, minimizing human intervention and accelerating project timelines.

Obstacle Avoidance Intelligence: Advanced sensors and software allow the robot to navigate tightly around stiffeners and obstacles without stopping — eliminating rework and ensuring continuous operation.

Multi-Robot Synchronization: A double gantry system allows multiple robots to weld simultaneously on oversized workpieces, dramatically increasing throughput.

Confined Space Access: The telescopic robotic manipulator operates with precision in limited-access areas, handling complex geometries with ease.

Offline Simulation & Parametric Programming: Adopts an offline simulation system capable of vertical and horizontal crossing, patch welding, upward vertical welding, and fillet welding. Parametric Programming Technology automatically recognizes workpiece coordinates and generates robot welding programs; Optimal Path Planning Technology automatically calculates the optimal operating route by computer.

High Quality & Consistent Welds: The system can weld any complex panel, shape or bulkhead. All horizontal, vertical and curved welds are automatically recognized when setting up a panel. Special welding processes including multi-layer, multi-pass, and deep penetration welding have been included in the process macro library.
