The invention relates to a device for realizing
laser welding and seam tracking and a control method thereof. The device of the invention comprises an image collecting and
processing unit for collecting and
processing the image data of
laser welding and seam characteristics and outputting the seam position information, a
motion control unit for receiving the seam position information and transmitting a
motion control command to a motion shaft actuating mechanism, and an upper parameter setting and
control unit for setting the parameters and being respectively connected with the image collecting and
processing unit and the
motion control unit in a communication mode. The method of the invention comprises the following steps: setting the parameters by utilizing the upper parameter setting and
control unit; collecting and processing seam images to obtain the seam image data; caching and calibrating the seam image data, and determining the offset of a
welding gun; carrying out filtering, fitting and track planning on tracking tracks by utilizing a
motion controller in the motion
control unit; and transmitting the result to a motion shaft driver. The invention can be suitable for various seam types and techniques and has the advantages of good generality, strong flexibility, high independence, high precision, accurate positioning, strong adaptability, and the like.
