Wolf Robotics joins collaboration to advance computer-aided robotics for welding
- February 9, 2015
- News Release
- Automation and Robotics
Wolf Robotics LLC, Fort Collins, Colo., has announced its participation in a collaboration of industry leaders working with the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) to make advancements in the area of computer-aided robotics for welding (CAR-W). CAR-W is a software technology that strives to use robotic systems to automate the manual welding typically found in shipbuilding.
Wolf Robotics will present an outline for the CAR-W NSRP project, which will focus on developing the ability for a robotic system to generate weld paths automatically and directly from CAD models. This will reduce the large amount of manual programming time currently required for robotic systems that are used in high-mix, low-volume shipyard environments.
One of the goals of the project is to enable shipyards to implement robotics into their production processes with greater ease to help to reduce overall costs, improve weld quality, and aid in meeting accelerated schedule objectives.
The project team also includes Bollinger Shipyards, Ingalls Shipyards, ShipConstructor Software Inc., Edison Welding Institute, Colorado State University, Purdue University, the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, Longview Advisors, and Dr. Tony Maciejewski.
