Lincoln Electric 推出 XpertLINC 物理 SI 平台：焊接机器人免编程自动调整参数
总部位于 Cleveland, Ohio 的 Lincoln Electric（Nasdaq: LECO）10月20日宣布推出 XpertLINC 物理 SI 技术平台。该平台将视觉感知、协调运动、工艺控制与公司数十年的焊接经验整合为一体，能像熟练焊工一样动态调整机器人的焊接路径与参数，在零件尺寸不一致的情况下仍按客户工艺规范保持生产效率与焊接质量。
据公司公告，传统机器人焊接常因编程、零件装配与接头几何形状等问题导致停机时间长、废品多、换型慢。XpertLINC 的工作流程是：操作人员先向协作机器人示意焊接的起点与终点，系统随后扫描零件、获取真实接头几何形状并评估装配状态，再结合公司的焊接经验库与客户自定义的焊接工艺规程（WPS），自动生成协调运动与焊接参数；生产中可随零件差异实时适配，还能把超出规格的零件标记出来供人工复核，整个过程无需编写程序、也不需要 CAD 文件。
Lincoln Electric 执行副总裁兼全球自动化总裁 Kevin Whaley 表示：「XpertLINC 重新定义了制造行业的技术前沿，以及制造商现在应对机器人焊接系统抱有的期待。它以专门构建的工业 AI 平台自动化焊接智能，并把安全、可靠性与数据隔离纳入架构，解决客户在劳动力供应、生产效率与质量方面最棘手的问题。」
该平台先行搭载于公司的 Cooper 系列焊接协作机器人，今后将逐步扩展到其更广泛的自动化切割与焊接产品线。公司将于10月21日至23日举行的 FABTECH 2026 展会（展位 S29000）现场演示 XpertLINC 如何扫描真实接头状况并生成机器人运动与焊接参数。Lincoln Electric 在全球20个国家设有71家制造与自动化工厂，产品与服务覆盖160多个国家和地区。
Lincoln Electric Launches XpertLINC Physical SI Platform: Welding Robots Adjust on the Fly Without Programming
Lincoln Electric (Nasdaq: LECO), headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, announced on October 20 the launch of XpertLINC, a proprietary physical SI technology platform. The platform integrates vision, coordinated motion, process control and decades of welding expertise in one package, dynamically adjusting a robot's path and welding parameters to adapt on the fly like a human operator, delivering higher productivity and better quality even with inconsistent parts while adhering to customers' process specifications.
According to the company's announcement, traditional robotic solutions often suffer high downtime, excessive scrap, limited flexibility and long changeovers because of challenges with programming, part fit-up and joint geometry. With XpertLINC, the operator shows the cobot the start and end points; the system then scans the part to capture actual joint geometry and assess fit-up conditions, and, leveraging the company's welding experience and any customer-defined Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS), sets the coordinated motion and welding parameters to make the part. It adapts dynamically to real-world part variability and can flag out-of-specification parts for review, all without programming or CAD files.
"XpertLINC redefines what is state-of-the-art in the fabrication industry and what manufacturers should now expect from robotic welding systems," said Kevin Whaley, Executive Vice President and President, Global Automation at Lincoln Electric. "XpertLINC solves customers' toughest fabrication challenges including labor availability, productivity and quality with a purpose-built industrial AI-driven platform that not only automates welding intelligence, but also integrates safety, reliability and data segregation into its architecture."
The platform is launching initially on the company's Cooper welding cobots and will expand across its broader range of automated cutting and welding solutions over time. Lincoln Electric will demonstrate XpertLINC at FABTECH 2026, October 21-23, at booth S29000. The company operates 71 manufacturing and automation facilities across 20 countries and serves customers in more than 160 countries.
