The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A multi-purpose end effector for a robot comprising:
a base plate mounted on the robot;
a welder carried by the base plate for welding a joint between the adjoining surfaces of two adjacent workpieces as the robot moves the welder along the joint;
a cleaning wheel carried by the base plate on one side of the welder so that the cleaning wheel precedes the welder as the robot moves the welder along the joint so as to clean the adjoining surfaces in preparation for the welder;
and a buffing wheel carried by the base plate on the other side of the welder from the cleaning wheel so the buffing wheel follows behind the welder as the robot moves the welder along the joint so as to buff the welded joint after welding.
2. The end effector of claim 1 further comprising a vision device carried by the base plate adjacent to the cleaning wheel to move in advance of the cleaning wheel and provide data to the robot by which the robot may guide the cleaning wheel and welder and buffing wheel along the joint.
3. The end effector of claim 1 further comprising a vision device carried by the base plate adjacent to the buffing wheel to move behind the buffing wheel and provide quality inspection data.
4. The end effector of claim 1 further comprising a first vision device carried by the base plate adjacent to the cleaning wheel to move in advance of the cleaning wheel and provide data to the robot by which the robot may guide the cleaning wheel and welder and buffing wheel along the joint and a second vision device carried by the base plate adjacent to the buffing wheel to move behind the buffing wheel and provide quality inspection data.
5. The end effector of claim 1 further comprising said cleaning wheel being mounted on the base plate by a height adjusting mechanism.
6. The end effector of claim 1 further comprising said buffing wheel being mounted on the base plate by a height adjusting mechanism.
7. The end effector of claim 1 further comprising said cleaning wheel and said buffing wheel each being mounted on the base plates by height adjusting mechanisms to enable separate up-down adjusting movements of the cleaning wheel and the buffing wheel relative to the welder.
8. A multi-purpose end effector comprising:
a base plate mountable on a robot and carrying a plurality of tools including a welder, a cleaning wheel for cleaning a workpiece, a buffing wheel for buffing a weld, a guidance camera and an inspection camera, said tools being arranged in serial order on the base plate beginning with the guidance camera to guide the multi-axis manipulator, then the cleaning wheel to clean the work piece, then the welder for welding the workpiece, then the buffing wheel to buff the weld, and then the inspection camera to inspect the buffed weld.
9. The multi-purpose end effector of claim 8 further comprising the welder being a laser welder and having a dispenser for shielding gas and a dispenser for welding wire.
10. The multi-purpose end effector of claim 11 further comprising the base plate having a central base portion and arms extending out in opposite direction from the central base portion.
11. The multi-purpose end effector of claim 8 further comprising welder being mounted on the central base portion and the cleaning wheel and the buffing wheel being mounted on the arms on opposite sides of the central base plate.
12. The multi-purpose end effector of claim 8 further comprising the cleaning wheel and the buffing wheel being located at approximately the same distance from the central base plate.
13. The end effector of claim 8 further comprising said cleaning wheel being mounted on the base plate by a height adjusting mechanism.
14. The end effector of claim 8 further comprising said buffing wheel being mounted on the base plate by a height adjusting mechanism.
15. The end effector of claim 8 further comprising said cleaning wheel and said buffing wheel each being mounted on the base plates by height adjusting mechanisms to enable separate up-down adjusting movements of the cleaning wheel and the buffing wheel relative to the welder.
16. The end effector of claim 8 further comprising said cleaning wheel and said buffing wheel each rotating in a direction away from the welder so that any offal is pushed away from the welder.
