7、D16.2M/D16.2:2007Statement on the Use of American Welding Society StandardsAll standards (codes, specifications, recommended practices, methods, classifications, and guides) of the AmericanWelding Society (AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules o

8、f theAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, ormade part of, documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other govern-mental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority

9、of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWSstandards must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part ofthose laws and regulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other documentthat invo

10、kes the AWS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirementsof an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.AWS American National Standards are developed through a consensus standards development process that bringstogether vol

11、unteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While AWS administers the processand establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evaluate, orverify the accuracy of any information or the soundness of any judgments

12、contained in its standards.AWS disclaims liability for any injury to persons or to property, or other damages of any nature whatsoever, whetherspecial, indirect, consequential or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting from the publication, use of, or relianceon this standard. AWS also makes

13、no guaranty or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any informationpublished herein.In issuing and making this standard available, AWS is not undertaking to render professional or other services for or onbehalf of any person or entity. Nor is AWS undertaking to perform any duty owed by any

14、 person or entity to someoneelse. Anyone using these documents should rely on his or her own independent judgment or, as appropriate, seek theadvice of a competent professional in determining the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances.This standard may be superseded by the issuance o

15、f new editions. Users should ensure that they have the latest edition.Publication of this standard does not authorize infringement of any patent or trade name. Users of this standard acceptany and all liabilities for infringement of any patent or trade name items. AWS disclaims liability for the inf

16、ringement ofany patent or product trade name resulting from the use of this standard.Finally, AWS does not monitor, police, or enforce compliance with this standard, nor does it have the power to do so.On occasion, text, tables, or figures are printed incorrectly, constituting errata. Such errata, w

17、hen discovered, are postedon the AWS web page (www.aws.org).Official interpretations of any of the technical requirements of this standard may only be obtained by sending a request,in writing, to the Managing Director, Technical Services Division, American Welding Society, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road,Miam

18、i, FL 33126 (see Annex A). With regard to technical inquiries made concerning AWS standards, oral opinionson AWS standards may be rendered. However, such opinions represent only the personal opinions of the particularindividuals giving them. These individuals do not speak on behalf of AWS, nor do th

19、ese oral opinions constitute officialor unofficial opinions or interpretations of AWS. In addition, oral opinions are informal and should not be used as asubstitute for an official interpretation.This standard is subject to revision at any time by the AWS D16 Committee on Robotic and Automatic Weldi

20、ng. It mustbe reviewed every five years, and if not revised, it must be either reaffirmed or withdrawn. Comments (recommendations,additions, or deletions) and any pertinent data that may be of use in improving this standard are required and should beaddressed to AWS Headquarters. Such comments will

21、receive careful consideration by the AWS D16 Committee onRobotic and Automatic Welding and the author of the comments will be informed of the Committees response to thecomments. Guests are invited to attend all meetings of the AWS D16 Committee on Robotic and Automatic Welding toexpress their commen

22、ts verbally. Procedures for appeal of an adverse decision concerning all such comments are providedin the Rules of Operation of the Technical Activities Committee.

28、llations, but is included for informational purposes only.The AWS Committee on Robotic and Automatic Welding was organized in 1985 to provide a centralized source for theexchange of technical information between manufacturers, installers, and operators of robotic and automated equipment.In 1988, the

29、 Committee was expanded to include representation of the Arc Welding Section of the National ElectricalManufacturers Association (NEMA). The relationship was formalized in September 1989 when the NEMA Codes andStandards Committee approved formation of a joint AWS/NEMA Committee to prepare a series o

30、f documents on variousphases of the installation, maintenance, and operations of robots for welding.The original edition of this standard, ANSI/AWS/NEMA D16.2-94, set guidelines for evaluating the performance ofindividual components that make up a typical robotic installation. Emphasis was placed on

31、 the standardization of thewelding interfaces.Since the publication of the second edition, AWS/NEMA D16.2/D16.M:2001, NEMA has officially withdrawn as apartner in this joint committee but continues in an advisory capacity through its representation on the D16 committee.This third edition of D16.2 ha

32、s been updated to include the latest terms and technology, and to meet the new AWS specifi-cations for standards. Two informative annexes, one on sample maintenance schedule and one on sample spare parts list,were added to this guide. Revised areas are denoted by underlines or bars in the margin.Com

33、ments and suggestions for the improvement of this standard are welcome. They should be sent to the Secretary,AWS D16 Committee on Robotic and Automatic Welding, American Welding Society, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami,FL 33126.Official interpretations of any of the technical requirements of this stand

The measure-ments may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each sys-tem must be used independently of the other withoutcombining in any way. The standard with the designationD16.2M:2006 uses SI Units.

46、 The standard designationD16.2:2006 uses U.S. Customary Units. The latter areshown within brackets or in appropriate columns intables and figures.Safety and health issues and concerns are beyond thescope of this standard and therefore are not fullyaddressed herein.
