In the automation of MSG welding processes, there is a major problem in ensuring weld seam quality despite varying process boundary conditions. Although there are currently strategies by which these deviations are detected by sensors (usually sensors in leading position) and automatically compensated by correction of the welding torch position and/or adaptation of the welding parameters, this is only possible within limited process limits (usually varying the welding speed). Adaptation strategies for manual welding, however, offer the advantage that, depending on the manual welder's experience, it can be used in considerably larger process windows and thus compensate for larger deviations from the process boundary conditions. These strategies mainly involve adapting the welding speed, changing the positioning and/or orientation of the welding torch as well as the locally adapted supply of energy and filler materials. The decision as to which strategy is suitable for each individual case is made intuitively by the manual welder based on his training and many years of experience.The aim of the project is, therefore, to transfer the procedure for manual welding to the automated welding process and thereby considerably extend the process limits for adapting the welding process in case of deviations in the process boundary conditions. An important prerequisite for the transfer to automated welding is the development of adaptation strategies based on the manual welder's approach, which is essentially aimed at the development and control of the weld pool. Furthermore, decision criteria based on digitized knowledge of welding experts about when and in which situation a suitable adaptation strategy should be used have to be developed.

在味精焊接过程的自动化中，尽管工艺边界条件不同，但确保焊缝质量是一个主要问题。尽管目前存在通过传感器(通常处于领先位置的传感器)检测这些偏差并通过校正焊枪位置和/或调整焊接参数来自动补偿这些偏差的策略，但这仅在有限的工艺限制内(通常改变焊接速度)是可能的。然而，手动焊接的适应策略提供了一个优势，即根据手工焊工的经验，它可以用于相当大的工艺窗口，从而补偿与工艺边界条件的较大偏差。这些战略主要涉及调整焊接速度、改变焊枪的位置和/或方向以及当地适应的能量和填充材料的供应。哪种策略适用于每种情况是由手工焊工根据他的培训和多年的经验直观地做出的。因此，该项目的目标是将手动焊接过程转移到自动焊接过程，从而大大扩展在过程边界条件发生偏差的情况下适应焊接过程的过程限制。向自动化焊接过渡的一个重要前提是根据手工焊工的方法制定适应战略，其主要目的是发展和控制熔池。此外，还必须根据焊接专家关于何时以及在何种情况下应采用适当适应战略的数字化知识，制定决策标准。
