Method of detecting root gap and arc welding method using the former

A lattice welding robot detects an X-axis slide position of X.sub.p by an arc sensor of a welding torch, compares the value of X.sub.p with a reference value of X.sub.0 by a comparator, calculates a differential value of the value of X.sub.p by a differentiator and computes a travel speed correction amount .DELTA.V from a difference between a comparator output value and a differentiator output value by a computing unit. The correction amount .DELTA.V is added to an initial speed of each of inside wheels and outside wheels of a welding carriage to control each of driving motors for the inside wheels and the outside wheels by an adding speed command V.sub.in and an adding speed command V.sub.out, respectively. Thereby, a rough guidance for the welding carriage to trace a weld line is performed.

High-speed rotative arc welding device

There is disclosed a method for arc welding wherein an electrode wire is rotated to produce an arc rotating at an elevated speed and wherein the arc produced in this manner is used as an arc sensor for making a bevel profiling. According to the invention, the rotational speed of the arc N is set so as to be larger than a constant speed as determined by the time constant of the change of the wire melting speed so that the difference between the welding current when the electrode wire is at the center of the bevel and that when the electrode wire is at the extreme lateral position is increased to improve the bevel profing performance.

Bevel profiling control method for arc welding

An automatic fillet welding method for effecting the welding by rotating a welding electrode and thereby rotating an arc at a high speed. By rotating the arc with a predetermined rotation direction, rotation speed and rotation diameter, a weld metal is prevented from running downward thereby forming a bead having uniform leg lengths and an excellent depth of penetration.

Method of high-speed rotation arc automatic fillet welding

A groove tracing control method for a fillet welding effected by rotating a welding torch and thereby rotating an arc at a high speed. The groove tracing control of the welding torch is effected in accordance with variations in the voltage waveform of the rotating arc and in this way the groove tracing is effected in real time in a noncontact manner with a high degree of accuracy.
