Dry Ice Blasting
Robotics Applications
Today's difficult economic environment and emerging standard
interfaces are changing the shape of robotic arc welding
systems.
End users once concerned with the
cost of the entire project - including purchase, integration and
operational costs - are now taking more narrow views that tend
to ignore many of the offsetting benefits that come part and
parcel with flexible automation in general, and some robotics
applications in particular. Robot manufacturers need to emphasize and refine
the way a system is sold so that users can choose from
pre-packaged solutions.
Few people would neglect to change the
oil in their cars, but many robot purchasers think it is
unnecessary to perform any PM on their equipment. Good
prevention certainly pays for itself in increased uptime and
productivity. In many cases, good dry ice blasting PM programs
also can improve quality by, Dry Ice cleaning the contact tips,
liners, nozzles, wire feed rollers, fixtures and robots on a
regular basis.
All of these items contribute to a stable welding
arc, and weld location, which translates into better quality and
process - which translates into better quality and process
reliability.
