Abstract

See full text

A welding robot is provided. The welding robot is adapted for operating in the space between an upper and a lower platen of a press and comprises a support frame. A welding tool is movable mounted to the support frame. A grinding tool is movable mounted to the support frame. At least a camera is adapted for capturing a view of a working area. A processor is adapted for executing executable commands stored in a storage medium connected thereto. The processor when executing the commands identifies defects on a surface of one of the upper and the lower platen based on image data received from the at least a camera and controls the welding tool and the grinding tool in dependence on the image data. The processor receives data indicative of the repair area, automatically determines toolpath data for welding and grinding in dependence upon the data indicative of a repair area, and generates and provides control data for controlling the welding tool and the grinding tool in dependence upon the toolpath data.
