Abstract

The rapid development of automotive manufacturing industry, coupled with the accelerated iteration of vehicle models and component updates, requires the production of automotive components to respond quickly to market demand. Ultrasonic welding workstation is a kind of automatic welding equipment, it still faces some problems such as insufficient universality, low flexibility and low-level intelligence. Therefore, a flexible intelligent ultrasonic welding workstation was designed and developed. The physical system of workstation was constructed by modular design to achieve the universality for different automotive components; the flexibility of welding equipment was improved by adopting various switchable flexible components; the intelligence level of workstation and usability of equipment were enhanced by integrating and applying intelligent technology. The technical parameters of the workstation were superior to those of similar products at home, and efficient, intelligent and flexible production was realized in specific applications. The research results are of great significance for promoting the industrial upgrading of the automobile manufacturing industry.
