Question:
Arc welding is one of the most irnpoT'tant areas of application for indnstTial robots. In most manufacturing welding sitnations, WI certainties in dimensions of the part, geometry of the joint, and the welding process itself TequiTe the use of sensors for maintaining the weld quality.
Se·ueTcLl systems use a vision system to measure the geometTy of the vuddle of melted metal as shown in the following diagram, whe-re the system uses a constant rate of feeding the wire to be melted.
