Abstract
An apparatus for adaptive welding is provided. The apparatus includes an arc welding robot having a repositionable arc welding gun. The arc welding robot is configured to position the arc welding gun at a location of a joint formed at an interface of at least a first workpiece and a second workpiece. The apparatus further includes a thermographic imager that is configured to measure a temperature of at least one of the first workpiece and the second workpiece at the location. The apparatus also includes a controller that is in signal communication with the arc welding robot and the thermographic imager. The controller is configured to select a weld schedule for forming a weld at a location based at least in part on the temperature measured with the thermographic imager and a joint profile of the location before the weld is formed.
