Design of Simulation for Arc Welding Robot Based on OpenGL

Abstract

Through the design and analysis of arc welding robot simulation system, the theory and method for establish 3D simulation system based on OpenGL in VC++.NET’s development platform was Expounded. In this paper, The kinematics model of 5 degree of freedoms arc welding robot is established and the equation straight and the inverse operation is provided and the 3D of the robot real-time simulation is realized. The test results show that, the system has friendly interface and achieved good simulation effect.
