ROBOTS FOR THE BRAZING OF HEATED REAR WINDOWS
The authors designed and realized robots for the resistance brazing of heated rear windows. In this paper they describe the structure, the main technological and realizing problems, the obtained performances and results. These robots are fully original systems able, through a Joule Effect process and the suitable handling and positioning mechanisms and control systems, to execute the brazing of electrical terminals onto the printed resistances of heated rear windows of any shape. The industrial application of these robots allows to avoid burdensome and aleatory manual operations, obtaining solderings with a decidedly superior quality and reproducibility. The insertion of these robots in the production line, made by primary car-glass manufacturers, proved moreover their economic importance for the higher production ratings and the important savings of solder alloy.
