3 How the Sensor Works

3.1 How the Sensor Works
The welding seam tracking sensor is a linear structured light sensor, which is composed of a laser generator and a
camera.
The laser generator produces a "word" profile laser to illuminate the surface of the measured object, and the camera
takes the laser stripe. The captured image appears as a black and white image, and the laser line is a white stripe,
which is called an image on the software.
The laser line fringe is identified by the algorithm, and the center position of the laser line is extracted, which is called
point cloud in software. The process is called extraction.
When the center position of the laser line is extracted and converted to the data in mm under the laser coordinate
system, it is called the world coordinate.
Sensors in the world coordinates, according to the rules set by the joint form, identify and output the coordinate of
the characteristic point (BP point) to the [X,Y] coordinate position of the robot or PLC of the special plane, which is
called the characteristic point (BP point).
- 13 -
3.2 Workflow of the Sensor
The laser beam hits the Take an image of the laser Extraction algorithm to Calculate Weld Feature
workpiece line extract laser lines Points
The laser line hits the workpiece, and after a series of algorithms, the sensor obtains the measurement results of the
workpiece surface.
After calculating and identifying the measurement results, the [y,z]mm coordinates are output to the robot.
3.3 Identify the Relationship between Feature Points or Welding

Feature points (BP points) are calculated by the algorithm according to certain rules, which have relatively high
consistency in the specific joint form.
Most of the time, the feature point of the sensor output is not the starting point of the process, the main reasons are：
1、There are errors in robot TCP and hand-eye calibration. The sensor detection is accurate, but the robot cannot
accurately execute to the feature point position.
2、Check the position and process best welding point. Such as thick plate fillet weld, the sensor detects the base
metal intersection, but the arc point needs to be on the side or outside the position to achieve the required welding
height.
Therefore, the sensor ensures that the detection point is stable and has good consistency. The welding arc point is
offset and welded according to the actual robot accuracy and process requirements.

6.2 The Concept and Relationship of IP Address

Sensors, robots, computers /HMI communicate via Ethernet.
For devices on a network to communicate, each computer must be assigned an identification number that identifies
the computer receiving or sending data. In TCP/IP, an IP address identifies a computer. Currently, the widely used
version of IP addresses is IPv4.
The IP address is the address of the device on the TCP/IP network, and the port is the window through which the
network device communicates with other devices.
Sensors, robots, computers /HMI and other devices must have a unique IP address in order to work.
The sensor is from the device, passively waiting for the robot to visit.
The robot is the main device and actively controls the sensors to obtain data.
If a robot is actively connected to a sensor, it must know the sensor's IP address and port.
Therefore, sensors, robots, computers /HMI are required to meet the following conditions ：
1、They're connected through a local area network。
2、Assign different IPV4 addresses on the same network segment.
3、The robot must be configured with the IP address and port of the target sensor.
You need to perform the following operations during project operations：
1、Use network devices such as switches to connect sensors, robots, computers /HMI to the same network.
2、Configure the IP addresses of the computer /HMI, robot, and sensor respectively. Ensure that the three IP
addresses are on the same network segment and have the same mask, but the last addresses do not conflict.
3、Enter the sensor's IP address and port number on the robot side.

7.2.9 Connector Form Selection
Click the weld icon on the main interface to select the joint
form.
Select the corresponding joint form on the left side, and there
will be detailed instructions on the right side, including CAD
drawings, physical drawings of the workpiece, and
explanations of the meaning of all parameters.
For details, see software prompts.
Select the appropriate joint form and click "OK and go to
configuration" to display the weld configuration parameters.
7.2.10 Weld Parameter Configuration Interface
Click the "Weld Configuration" interface on the main interface to configure weld parameters.
The interface for configuring seam parameters is divided into two sections
1. Description of joint form and parameters. The definition of weld and interpretation of each parameter are
described here.
2. The drawing and illustration area shows the position of the weld CAD drawing and the width and height defined
in the weld. And dynamic display weld configuration instructions.
3. For detailed parameter descriptions, see section "Joint Form".
4. Select the starting point and ending point of the weld on the image to automatically generate part of the
configuration parameters of the weld.

7.2.11 Principles of Weld Definition
All welds consist of a maximum of four surfaces, denoted by L1, L2, L3 and L4
respectively.
The number of different joint forms is different, such as two faces of fillet
welding, three faces of N type, four faces of M type
Three types of parameters should be set after the connector form is selected
1. Surface detection parameters
Ensure that the algorithm correctly identifies the workpiece surface.
2. Weld constraint parameters
Constraints weld height, width, Angle parameters
3. Surface constraint parameters
The slope range and minimum length of the workpiece surface in the laser
coordinate system are constrained
7.2.12 Face Detection Parameters
Disconnection threshold:
In mm. Indicates that the line direction, less than this threshold will
be merged into a straight line. A value greater than this threshold may
be divided into two lines. The default value is 1.5mm. The default
value is recommended.
This parameter should be expanded when the laser line extraction is

intermittent due to the poor quality of the laser line and the large
amount of rust in the workpiece.
End point error:
In mm. Indicates when there may be interference or arcs at the
edge/end of the workpiece. The point farthest from the workpiece
surface (line) is the endpoint. The smaller the value, the closer the
end point is to the workpiece surface. The larger the value, the farther
away from the workpiece surface.
When the end of the workpiece is an arc edge or there is interference,
the consistency of detection can be improved by reducing the value
appropriately.
Mainly for N-type, plane endpoints
Plane error:
The unit mm, represents the workpiece or laser line contamination,
how much error range point, belongs to this plane. A point or line
below this threshold is treated as a plane.
- 57 -
7.2.13 Graphical Description of Face Detection
7.2.14 Weld Constraint Parameters
The basic parameters of welding seam are configured according

to the actual plate thickness, the size of the break and the Angle
of the workpiece. Ensure that both can be stable identification,
and have types but different parameters of weld interference.
Basic parameters:
Height/width/Angle:
1. Generally, it is the range value, which defines the maximum
and minimum height/width/Angle of the weld, in mm and °.
Welds within the range can be identified, welds outside the range
are not identified.
2. The height, width, and Angle of different connector types are
defined differently. For details, see the corresponding parameter
description.
3. The Angle value is affected by the shooting Angle, and the
detection will generally be slightly larger than the actual value,
not less than the actual value.
4. The value ranges from 0.8 to 1.4 times the actual value.
- 58 -
7.2.15 Surface Constraint Parameters
The surface condition constraint is to constrain the surface parameters measured by the laser line to obtain the
workpiece surface we expect and then identify the weld.
There will be 1~4 surfaces in the weld, which can be constrained by the opposite slope and minimum length
respectively.
The slope：
▪ Range value, in degrees。
▪ Angle relationship between the workpiece surface and the
sensor's optical plane YZ world coordinates. It is affected
by the relative Angle between the workpiece and the
sensor.
▪ The slope configuration takes into account the varying
angular surface Settings between the workpiece and the
sensor. It is not recommended to be too large, Generally in
standard ±20 degrees.
▪ Too large slope range may cause algorithm error checking;
However, too small a slope range will cause the weld to
fail to detect output after the workpiece or sensor attitude
changes.
▪ With slope configuration, similar but different direction
welds can be eliminated.
Minimum length
▪ Minimum, in mm
▪ The minimum length of the workpiece surface that can be

effectively measured by the laser line, not the actual length of
the workpiece. The workpiece surface less than this length will
be discarded, and the workpiece surface greater than this length
will be included in the calculation.
▪ This length is affected by many factors, such as sensor
measurement position, observation range, surface error, and line
breaking threshold.
▪ The smaller the minimum length, the higher the weld detection
rate, but the higher the false detection rate, and may shake; The
greater the minimum length, the better the stability of the weld,
but the detection rate may decrease.
▪ Usually at 1/3~1/2 of the real measured value.
- 59 -
The slope refers to the measured slope in the "world coordinates" of the sensor.
Therefore, affected by the shooting Angle of the sensor on the workpiece, the slope range is different under
different shooting angles.
The slope is defined as shown in the figure above and ranges from 0 to 180 degrees
7.2.16 Graphical Parameter Configuration
In order to simplify the difficulty of weld configuration for users, the mouse is used to select the starting point and
end point of the detection surface to be identified on the image, and the software can automatically calculate the weld
structure and surface constraint parameters.
Click the face end options (P1 to P3) at the bottom of the
drawing. There is no requirement on the order.
Pn, the NTH plane, n=1 to 4
PnA, which is the starting point of n faces.
PnB, denoting the end points of n faces.
Click on the corresponding position in the image.

Note: The selected point must be in the laser line, as close to the
end position as possible.
- 60 -
When all endpoints are selected, click the "Calculate

Parameters" button.
After the calculation is complete, the system automatically

jumps back to the detection page.
If the weld is correctly configured, a stable green "X" will appear
in the image, indicating that the weld has been identified.
Note:
Graphical parameters can only be calculated, parameters related to structural information, and other parameters can
not be calculated automatically
The parameters automatically generated are to detect the weld as far as possible, and the parameters are relatively
broad. False detections or false detections may occur, requiring further adjustment of parameters according to actual
workpiece changes。
Automatically generate Parameters that cannot be automatically computed
Face constrained parameter Surface detection parameter
Weld constraint parameters (height, width, Angle, Trace parameters
etc.) Benchmark parameters

The offset parameters
7.2.17 Post-processing configuration
Post-processing is the welding seam identification, the identification results are processed and output to the robot.
It includes filtering, feature point reference, feature point offset and starting point filtering, which will be explained
in the following chapters.
- 61 -
7.2.18 Filter Processing
Filter:
▪ Provides noise reduction and smoothing for the output
solder joints to reduce actuator jitter. The unit is
millisecond (ms). It averages the points within the specified
time.
▪ The larger the value, the better the smoothing effect, but
the slower the response. The value ranges from 75 to 150ms
▪ Linear weld filter can be extended, curve or arc when
reducing filter time for improved response.
▪ The filtering time is too long, and the tracking process
will also cause the robot to shake.
Schematic diagram of filtering effect:
Green line: actual detection value
Red line: 300ms filtering result
Blue: 100ms filtering result

7.2.19 Feature Point Datum
Enabled: Specifies whether to enable the baseline

function.
Base position: The center coordinate of the base rectangle
range.
Allowable deviation: the allowable YZ± range centered
on the base position.
Take (base point +Y+Z, base point -Y-Z construct) a
rectangular range.
Weld the benchmark
▪ When turned on, establishes a base position with the
current detected BP coordinates and allows configuration
to deviate from the YZ range.
▪ Weld coordinate output within the allowable range; No
output of out-of-range coordinates is allowed.
▪ The benchmark is mainly to ensure that it is not wrong
to detect, can avoid large errors in the workpiece, similar
weld interference or to a specific location to be identified.
When the baseline is turned on, the world point cloud will
display a red rectangular area.
The weld feature points in this area are allowed to output,
while the weld feature points outside the area are not.
Note: Since the feature point tracking function is turned
on by default, the benchmark display area may be
occluded by the green tracking area.
The left picture is the display effect after the feature point
tracking is turned off.
Real-time status display
Reference point: Current reference point coordinates
- 63 -
7.2.20 Feature Point Offset
Enabled: Indicates whether to enable feature point offset.

Amount of deviation: Coordinate of output characteristic
point = reference point +Y+Z.
Note that Y/Z has positive and negative directions.
Feature point migration

Weld offset is to output the weld detection result YZ to the
robot or special plane after compensation.
Reasonable use of weld offset can solve the problems of
robot error, detection point and welding process mismatch.
If the robot (such as Fanuc, Yaskawa, etc.) has the
offset function, it is recommended to use the offset
function of the robot.
When the benchmark is turned on, the world point cloud will
have a pink "X" symbol, indicating the offset output
coordinate position.
Real-time status display

Offset: Indicates the offset value of the current task
configuration.
After offset: Add the offset output detection result data.
The robot receives the offset result
- 64 -
7.2.21 Feature Point Tracking
Feature point tracking

Is to track the identification results, stabilize the weld and filter out abnormal results.
Track the strength
Use the historical detection results of the past n seconds
as the tracking benchmark, strong/medium/weak
corresponds to n=5/2/1 seconds, respectively.
The weld changes quickly, and the tracking strength
should be set weaker; The smaller the weld changes, the
stronger the tracking strength should be.
Tracking area
The diameter range of allowable deviation points around
the tracking reference point.
The smaller the tracking area, the smaller the range of
allowable deviation points. The opposite is greater. Small
and large 20mm/10mm/5mm respectively.
The tracking time
During the TRACKING time, when the weld seam is
detected outside the tracking area, the duration of no
output. Many abnormal welds can be avoided by adjusting
long time.
If the value ranges from 50 to 5000ms, 500ms is
recommended
When feature point tracking is turned on, the world point
cloud will show a green circular area. The green area is
the tracking area, in which welds are exported.
Tracking strength: Tracking area: Duration:

Strong: 5 seconds Strong: 5 mm Configurable 50 ~ 5000 ms
Medium: in 2 seconds Medium: 10 mm
Weak: 1 SEC Weak: 20 mm
Tracking center, lag current point Tracking area range
- 65 -
7.2.22 Start Output
After the effective weld is detected, output shall be made after the configuration delay time is reached. Points
within the delay are discarded as invalid points.
The delayed output mainly solves the problem that the starting point is disturbed or partially unstable when
searching the starting point by moving. The consistency and reliability of the starting point are guaranteed by
certain delay output.
Note: Delayed output does not mean that the detection results are output after delay, but the identification results
are discarded within a set time.
Enable and set the time for starting point filtering.
Yellow area Blue is the weld that was incorrectly T2-T1= delayed output time
For the weld and scanning scanned at the beginning of the scan
direction to be identified This section of output to the robot
can be avoided by delaying the

10.6 Installation of Air Cooling System

Connect Schematic Diagram Instructions
The sensor needs to be cooled by compressed air from
a 6mm outer diameter trachea.
10.6.1 The Role of the Air Cooling System
(1) The power consumption of the sensor is only 3~5 watts, and its own heat is low. The main heat source is the heat
radiation of molten pool in the welding process. In the application of multi-layer and multi-pass welding, air cooling
system must be installed
(2) The air cooling system can greatly extend the service life of the protective sheet.
(3) The air cooling system exhauts from the side, which has little influence on the welding protection gas
(4) Solenoid valve is controlled by robot controller or special plane controller. Turn on sensor before working.

10.8.1 Installation Instructions
The mounting height of the sensor is 160mm -- 180mm at the welding gun tip, and the laser line is parallel to the
welding gun tip 30-40MM horizontally.
On the welding gun, perpendicular to the weld. If real-time tracking is required, it must be installed in front of the
welding direction.
10.8.2 Installation Notes
1. Sensor in the use of the process as far as possible to avoid vibration and knock!!
2. When the sensor is used, it must have a protection piece to work normally!!
3. The sensor normal power supply voltage must be controlled in (12V-24V) current is greater than 1A!!
4. The sensor must be well grounded before normal use!!
5. The sensor must be insulated to prevent leakage when arc welding to burn out the sensor, the factory supporting
fixture has done the insulation isolation module, if the fixture designed and manufactured by the customer must do
insulation processing!
6. The sensor must be insulated with the workpiece and welding gun, and must be grounded with a resistance smaller
than 4 ohms.
10.9 Sensor Lens Protector

1. The protection plate needs to be replaced regularly, otherwise it will cause unrecognized instability.
2. If not inserted, the lens will be damaged and must be returned to the factory for maintenance.

11 Frequently Asked Questions

11.1 The Client cannot Find the Device
1. Check whether the power cable of the sensor is properly connected and can be powered on successfully. Check
whether the 24V or 0V sensor is correctly inserted.
2. When connecting to the switch, check whether the switch is powered on and whether the computer and sensor
network cables are plugged into the switch.
- 99 -
11.2 Client Black Screen

During the use of the client, a black screen may appear after the client is opened.
This situation only occurs when the computer graphics software is not opened or the computer graphics hardware is
not up to the minimum configuration of the client
The solution:1. Locate the location of the video card driver and enable the video card
2. Replace the graphics card configuration of the adapter
11.3 The Client Finds the Device but cannot Connect
1. The computer and sensor have different network

segments or identical IP addresses, resulting in IP
conflicts.
2. The firmware version is not in the same period

as the client version. As a result, the client is
incompatible.
3. The authorization expires. As a result, the device

is locked and can be searched but cannot be
connected.
4. The computer and sensor can successfully ping

the robot, but if the connection is not successful,
power off and restart the robot, sensor and close
the software to restart.
- 100 -
11.4 The Robot cannot Communicate with the Sensor

1. Check whether the IP address segment of the robot is the same as that of the sensor, and the four digits of the IP
address are different.
Correct Case:
The robot IP address is 192.168.2.152
Sensor IP address: 192.168.2.153
The computer IP address is 192.168.2.154
2. Whether the network cables of the robot and sensor are plugged into the same switch or control cabinet.
11.5 Weld Recognition is not Stable

1. The actual length of the laser line does not represent the actual working length. Try to make the weld in the center
of the laser.
(It is better to use a computer to monitor the problem in real time.)
2. See whether the material of the workpiece changes and whether the task number and parameters need to be
reconfigured.
3. Observe whether there are other interfering factors around the weld. (such as solder joints, shielding, etc.)
4. Check whether the width, height, and Angle of the client are properly set
The international value.
11.6 When the Offset or Deviation is Relatively Large

1. Observe the surrounding interference factors, whether there is any shelter during the movement, and whether there
is any wrong weld.
2. Whether the workpiece has a big change.
3. Whether the TCP accuracy of the robot meets the specified requirements and whether the laser calibration is
accurate.
4. The use of four-point translation when the benchmark is accurate, is not the benchmark when there is already a
deviation.
5. Check whether the welding torch is loose. As a result, the TCP or coordinate system is incorrect.
