PROCESS CONTROL FOR THE WELDING OF LARGE STEEL-UNITS

J. Kurth, W. Wild, M. Schilf

Abstract

In the following contribution a sensor and control system is introduced, that makes the recording of the joint geometry and the corresponding settlement of the parameters of the welding process possible. This is based on a new method, which permits the determination of the local joint geometry from the welding currents by the known through the arc sensing. It also allows the regulation of the filling height of the welded seam. A special diligence was putting on a high robustness of the solution to become fair to the particularly rough requirements on a mobile automatic assembly welding machine at the final assembly of large steel components.
