Completely automatic 3D repair welding

For heavy equipment such as soft coal excavators, it is often cheaper to repair parts than to replace them. The worn material is welded on again by a robot for chain links during maintenance work. In order to automate this process, a 3D surface scan must be performed in advance so that the necessary welding lines can be calculated from this. The Mabotic company uses laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon for this.
