Abstract
Generally, angle pieces at the corners of cargo tank of membrane type LNG carrier ship are manually welded, due to their various shapes and positions. In this study, a GTA welding robot system was developed in order to improve productivity, which consists of a 7-axis manipulator, a system controller, a GTA welding power source, and peripheral devices. The welding system is characterized by capabilities of welding corrugated work pieces as well as 90/135 degree linear work pieces, and controlling the entire weld cycle automatically. The developed system was field tested on actual work pieces and its performance was proven to be successful.
