In automotive industry, light weight vehicle is one of issues because of air pollution. Therefore, automotive manufacturers have tried to apply light materials such as aluminum to car body. Welding aluminum using laser has some advantages good weld quality and high productivity. In this study, light emission which is generated in aluminum 6k21 welding with laser is measured using photodiodes. Analysis of relationship between sensor signals of welding variables and formation of keyhole and plasma is performed.

The robot systems are widely used in the welding manufacturing. The essential tasks to operate the welding robot are the acquisition of the position and/or shape of the parent metal. For the seam tracking or the robot automation, many kinds of contact and non-contact of the system which monitors the shape of the welding part is described. This system uses the line-type structured laser diode and the visual sensor. It includes the correction of radial distortion which is often found in the image from the camera with short focal length. Direct Linear Transformation (DLT) is used for the camera calibration. The three dimensional shape of the parent metal is obtained after simple linear transformation. Therefore, the system operates in real time. Some experiments are carried out to evaluate the performance of the developed system.

This paper describes a method to measure a weldment surface temperature for estimating variations of the weld pool size in the gas metal arc(GMA) welding processes. An Infrared sensing system is designed to measure the radiation emitted from the top surface of the weldment, The interference effect of the electric arc to the measurement is rejected by detecting the low peaks of the noisy signal. An optimizing criterion, in which the correlation between the weld quality and the measured temperature is maximized, is also proposed to determine the optimal measurement location.
