Abstract
A welding method and system for welding a workpiece at weld locations includes a weld controller having control logic and stored data related to weld locations and workpiece dimensions. The weld controller is operable with a displacement sensor for monitoring the displacement between the electrodes of a weld gun. The control logic is programmed to generate a move signal based upon the stored data and the displacement between the electrodes. The weld controller also has stored data related to primary and alternate weld locations. The control logic is programmed to generate a fault signal based upon the stored data and a welding parameter such as the displacement between the electrodes. The weld controller provides a fault signal to the position controller to index the weld gun from a primary weld location to an alternate weld location when a comparison of the welding parameter to stored data related to the primary weld location indicates that the workpiece has been improperly welded.
