When AWS standards are either incorporated in, or made part of,documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other governmental bodies,their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those

6、 AWS standards must beapproved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part of those laws andregulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other document that invokes theAWS standards. Where this contractual relat

27、nly.)The AWS D16 Committee on Robotic and Automatic Welding was organized in 1985 to provide a centralized sourcefor the exchange of technical information between manufacturers, installers, integrators, and operators of robotic andautomated equipment. It has developed a number of standards related t

28、o robotic arc welding systems and their applica-tions (see Annex B).This first edition of AWS D16.1M/D16.1:2004, Specification for Robotic Arc Welding Safety, provides guidelines forthe safe use of arc welding robots. Although safe practices for arc welding are covered in many standards, this standa

29、rdfocuses on safety aspects unique to robotic arc welding applications.Comments 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.O

The requirements of thisstandard apply to industrial robots that are used to per-form the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and flux coredarc weldi

37、ng (FCAW) processes. The purpose of thisstandard is to establish minimum safety requirementswith respect to the design, manufacture, maintenance,and operation of arc welding robot systems and ancillaryequipment. It is also designed to help identify andminimize hazards involved in maintaining, operat

38、ing,and setting up of arc welding robot systems.A robotic arc welding system consists of a manipula-tor, power source, arc welding torch and accessories;electrode feed system, dereeling system, welding circuit,shielding and communication control, and groundingsystem. There may be other accessories t

39、hat are outsidethe scope of this document. A typical system is illus-trated in Figure 1.This specification makes use of both U.S. CustomaryUnits and the International System of Units (SI). Thesemeasurements may not be exact equivalents; thereforeeach system must be used independently of the otherwit

40、hout combining in any way. The specificationD16.1M uses SI units. The specification with the desig-nation D16.1 uses U.S. Customary Units. The latter areshown in appropriate columns in tables or within paren-theses ( ) when used in the text.1.2 Applications1.2.1 New or Remanufactured Installations.
