Remote laser beam welding (RLW) has the benefits of high speed and high quality welding, especially as applied to automotive industry. RLW is designed in a way that end effecter and head of scanner move simultaneously, and require the compensation for the motion of end effecter in order to weld proper position. In this paper, we show the algorithms of RLW that enable the end effecter to synchronize with scanner based on time. The proposed method consists of two algorithms. These algorithms make it possible for the moving end effecter to weld on desired place. The effectiveness of the algorithms is shown by experiments.
