A Method for Planning the Acceleration and Deceleration of the Swing Trajectory of Welding Robot
Swing welding is a common and important method in welding.A acceleration and deceleration planning algorithm is proposed for the working condition where the total running time and total displace-ment of a single swing cycle trajectory segment are fixed.In addition,considering that the swinging paths are all small segments and therefore require frequent starting and stopping,a nine segment fourth-order pol-ynomial acceleration and deceleration algorithm model is proposed to replace the traditional cubic S-shaped acceleration and deceleration.For small line segments with unequal starting and ending velocities,the accel-eration and deceleration time allocation algorithm is adopted to adjust the acceleration and deceleration time reasonably.The proposed algorithm was validated on a self built robot experimental platform.The experi-mental results showed that the algorithm can accurately complete the acceleration and deceleration of swing welding,and during the start stop stage,the robot acceleration is smoother than the traditional S-shaped ac-celeration and deceleration planning.The average peak tracking error of the servo motor is reduced by 2.50%,and the acceleration and deceleration time allocation can be adjusted at small line segments to fully utilize the robot's acceleration performance.
