3D modelling of a Laser Welding Cell for movie presentation
making of the movie
This report describes a Bachelor thesis work in which a robotised laser welding cell has been modelled and simulated for the purpose of making a presentation movie. The report shows that the work has been concentrated on making the movie from the modelling phase through the recording of the movie and ending up with the editing of the final presentation movie. A pre-study was made prior the Bachelor thesis work. In the pre-study a literature study was conducted about measurement and calibration of a welding cell. Measurement of almost all equipment in the entire cell was also conducted in the pre-study. The main result of this pre-study is a thorough investigation of what objects and functions that needs to be modelled in order to explain the functions in the specific laser welding cell The purpose for this Bachelor thesis work is to give an efficient and alternative way to present a laser welding cell that resides in Production Technology Centre (PTC) at Innovatum, Trollhättan Sweden. The movie can be used outside PTC or if the laser welding cell is occupied with work, since it is not allowed to be inside the cell when in progress. The result of this work is a nearly 12 minute long presentation movie which shows all predefined elements of the cell together with a real welding sequence with metal deposition (MD).
