Laser·based arc welding sensor monitors weld preparation profile

Abstract

Automation of arc welding jobs is accelerating rapidly now that sensory feedback systems are beginning to become available. However, many of these systems have limited capabilities. A new laser‐based optical profile sensor developed in Holland not only tracks all types of seams but also modifies weld process parameters on the basis of profile information.
