Fanuc Industrial Robotics- Vision-Guided Robotic Welding & BIW Cell Integration

Every Body-in-White welding line runs on an assumption that quietly costs manufacturers millions: that every part arrives exactly where the CAD model says it should be. Vision-guided robotics exists to break that assumption - and almost nothing documents how to actually build it.Vendor manuals from Cognex, Keyence, ABB, FANUC, and KUKA each document their own half of a vision-guided system in isolation. This book closes the gap between them: the real commissioning knowledge that only shows up once a system is running in production, not on a demonstration bench.Inside, you'll learn: - Camera selection, hand-eye calibration, and correction limit design- Seam tracking, part misalignment correction, and weld quality verification- ABB Integrated Vision, FANUC iRVision, and KUKA.VisionTech - covered brand by brand with real code patterns- Cross-brand PLC signal handshaking that actually survives a multi-vendor production floor- Complete BIW cell case studies with realistic commissioning debugging narratives- A full commissioning checklist and two capstone projects to consolidate everythingWritten for working robotics and automation engineers who already know how to program a robot and now need to add machine vision to that skill set - not a beginner's introduction, but a practical field guide for the commissioning floor.
