After many enterprises purchase welding robots, improper operation often affects the normal use of welding robots, resulting in adverse situations of delayed production work. The sudden shutdown of welding robots during the welding process is a common and challenging problem that many enterprises often encounter. Today, the editor will tell you what to do if a welding robot suddenly stops during welding work?

Firstly, cut off the power supply, turn off the gas circuit equipment, and keep the welding robot safe to stop.

2. Clean the welding robot body, electrical box, and welding area from debris, weld nodules, etc.

3. Visually inspect the wiring of the welding robot and application equipment for damage and whether the plug has fallen off.

4. If there are no issues with the wiring and plugs of the welding robot equipment, start checking the power supply voltage of the factory power supply system, the power supply voltage at the welding robot and application equipment for normal operation, white smoke, and a burning smell.

5. Check if the safety protection devices of the welding robot have been mistakenly activated, such as limit switches, emergency switches, etc.

6. Check if the welding robot components, such as controllers, sensors, etc., can work properly.

7. Check whether the welding equipment of the welding robot is working properly, such as the welding power supply, gas protection system, etc.

8. If there are no problems and the welding robot system can start normally after being powered on, confirm whether the welding robot system and driver alarm, check whether the emergency stop button and safety barrier can be used normally, and ensure that the emergency stop is safe and effective.

Before the welding robot starts moving, ensure that it can return to zero and eliminate interference from other objects before automatic movement. Once there is an abnormality in the welding robot, immediately press the emergency button.

10. Based on the specific situation of abnormal stop, carry out corresponding troubleshooting and maintenance handling.
