Research Initiation: Utilization of Multiple Electrode Welding Head for Real Time Seam Tracking

本工作针对自动电弧焊接系统，即，的系统 可以自动跟踪二维和三维的接缝， 并将补偿待连接部件的未对准。 的 该系统基于通过电弧的电压感测，并且使用 三角形阵列的三个电极，而不是一个。 大幅 应导致每小时焊接英寸数的增加。 几个控制 算法将通过计算机模拟进行评估。

This work is aimed at an automated arc welding system, i.e., a system that will automatically track a seam in both two- and three-dimensions, and will compensate for misalignments of the parts to be joined. The system is based on voltage sensing through the arc, and use of a triangular array of three electrodes rather than one. A substantial increase in inches welded per hour should result. Several control algorithms will be evaluated by computer simulation.
