This paper shows the results of the development of a small size of digital type continuous and intermittent welding auto-carriage based on microprocessor (Intel 80196KC) for welding process with long welding line. The developed welding auto-carriage loads welding torch and tracks welding line. It is an automaton largely used for welding process with a lot of long welding lines such as shipbuilding and structure. Most traditional auto-carriages have been developed based on analog circuit for open loop control. So this analog circuit welding auto-carriage cannon control welding speed. Specially welding auto-carriage for intermittent welding condition is so complicated and has the low precision of control performance in welding distance and non-welding distance. The auto-carriage developed in this paper has the following characteristics: It has not only functions of traditional carriage but also functions such as pseudo-welding process of big iron structures, intermittent welding in order to limit heat for welding thin plates, crater treatment of the final step of welding, acceleration at the initial step of welding and deceleration in the final step of welding. The main control board of auto-carriage, power supply system and DC motor drive wee developed and manufactured. The welding speed and the welding distance of the developed auto-carriage are controlled accurately by feedback control using photo-sensor. Hardware and software robust against the heat and noise produced on the welding process are developed.

The deep ocean engineering basin (DOEB) of the Korea Research Institute of Ship and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) is equipped with an extreme-environment reproduction facility that can analyze the motion characteristics of offshore structures and ships. In recent years, there have been requirements for a wide range of six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) motion measurements for performing maneuvering tests and free-running tests of target objects (offshore structures or ships). This study introduces the process of developing a wide-area motion measurement technology by incorporating the auto-tracking technology of the towing carriage system to overcome the existing 6-DOF motion measurement limitation. To realize a wide range of motion measurements, the automatic tracking control system of the towing carriage in the DOEB was designed as a speed control method. To verify the control performance, the characteristics of the towing carriage according to the variation in control gain were analyzed. Finally, a wide range of motions was tested using a model test object (a remotely operated vehicle (ROV)), and the wide-area motion measurement technology was implemented using an automatic tracking control system for a towing carriage.

This paper is concerned about the development system that the bead width's size can be controlled. In order to control the bead width, DC motor driving slide on auto carriage is used. The adjustment of bead width is carried by amplitude and weaving shape is controlled by MCU(Micro Controller Unit). We confirmed the result by tracking experiments.

As a considerable, experimental approach, an Auto-carriage type of $CO_2$ welding machine and a MIG(Metal Inert Gas) welding robot under inert gas atmosphere were utilized in order to realize Al 5083 welding applied to hull and relevant components of green Al leisure ships. This study aims at investigating the effect of welding conditions(current, voltage, welding speed, etc) on thermal deformation that occurs as welding operation and tensile characteristics after welding, by using Al 5083, non-ferrous material, applied to manufacturing of co-environmental Al leisure ships. With respect to welding condition to minimize the thermal deformation, 150A and 16V at the wire-feed rate of 6mm/sec were acquired in the process of welding Al 5083 through an auto carriage type of $CO_2$ welding feeder. As to tensile characteristics of Al 5083 welding through a MIG welding robot, most of tensile specimens showed the fracture behavior on HAZ(Heat Affected Zone) located at the area joined with weld metal, except for some cases. Especially, for the case of the Al specimen with 5mm thickness, 284.62MPa of tensile strength and 11.41% of elongation were obtained as an actual allowable tensile stress-strain value. Mostly, after acquiring the optimum welding condition, the relevant welding data and technical requirements might be provided for actual welding operation site and welding procedure specification(WPS).

용접은 가장 널리 사용되는 금속접합기술이며 조선, 자동차, 항공, 플랜트설비 등 산업현장의 여러 분야에서 활용되고 있는 근대산업의 기본적인 생산기술이다. 그러나 용접작업 자체가 강한 빛과 전류, 유해가스등을 발생하고 있으며, 다품종 소량 생산하는 작업장에서는 규격화된 물건을 만들어 내는 제조업에 비해서 자동화가 어렵다. 따라서 범용적으로 모든 형태의 용접할 부위인 용접선을 검출하여 자동으로 용접하기란 상당히 어려우며, 본 논문에서는 삼각파 형태의 굴곡을 가진 용접선을 검출하고자 스트레인게이지를 응용한 센서를 이용하였고, 이를 직선구동이 가능한 반자동 캐리지에 탑재하여 용접선을 자동으로 추적하여 용접하는 실험을 제안하였다. 캐리지는 직선 전진만 하고 있더라도 굴곡이 있는 용접선을 자동으로 검출하여 용접이 가능하도록 하였다.

현재 이동용 캐리지에 장착하여 사용하고 있는 용접기의 경우는 용접토치가 고정이 되어 비드 폭이 일정한 부분의 직선용접에 주로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 용접기는 비드 폭이 일정 폭 이상으로 큰 경우는 용접작업이 복잡해지고 여러 번 반복해서 위치를 바꾸어가며 용접을 해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 비드 폭이 넓은 곳에서 용접토치를 일정한 폭으로 움직여주는 기능을 갖도록 시스템을 구성하였다. 반자동 캐리지에 용접선 추적센서, 센서이동용 모터 슬라이드, 위치 추적용 로터리 엔코더 및 MCU(80C196KC)와의 인터페이스회로를 설치하여 자동으로 용접선을 추적할 수 있게 설계하고, 용접기의 위빙실험을 하여 그 성능을 실험적으로 확인하였다.

Flux Cored Wire is the most widely used welding material for Flux Cored Arc Welding these days. This paper introduces the technical aspects of manufacturing FCW and the development trend of FCW for each type of steel and metal. The studies are ongoing to lower the production cost of seamless-type FCW since it has not been generally used in welding shops so far because of it high cost even though the seamless-type FCW has various advantages than folded-type FCW in terms of manufacturing technology. Meanwhile, a technical research has been carried out to develop a rutile type of FCW products which satisfies high toughness after post heat treatment. In addition, for high-speed fillet welding, there has been a development of welding materials which can be welded in Single Auto-Carriage 100 cpm or more and up to Twin Tandem 200 cpm without occurring any welding defect in order to improve the welding productivity. As Zn coated steel is being used recently to improve the corrosion resistance of the automotive parts, a research and development for Metal Cored Wire has been conducted to reduce the Si island produced in welding operation than those produced when using the former solid wires. A development of welding material that guarantees CTOD performance beyond $-40^{\circ}C$ CTOD to $-60^{\circ}C$ is underway by different steel grades, and FCW for super austenitic stainless steel is being developed as the corrosion resistant steel has been upgraded.
