MULTI SENSOR DATA FUSION FOR IMPROVING PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY OF FULLY AUTOMATED MULTIPASS WELDING
Abstract
Recent developments in sensor hardware and in advanced software have made it feasible to consider automating some of the most difficult welding operations. This paper describes some techniques used to automate successfully multipass submerged arc welding operations typically used in pressure vessel manufacture, shipbuilding, production of offshore structures and in pipe mills.
