Description
Summary:An XY table is an equipment which is widely used in industry for automation application. Examples of its application include CNC machining, laser welding, milling and etc. An XY table is controlled by a motion control system consists of the control of software and hardware such as a PLC. In this study an XY table is used to position the focus head to automate the welding process for laser spot welding. A program has been developed to control the XY table. The performance of the XY table for linear and circular interpolation was analyzed. A user interface was also developed to read CAD data file and transform it into XY movement. The user interface is developed using Visual Basic for manual and automatic positioning.
