Dynamic Arc Stabilization Options for Gas Metal Arc MIG/MAG Robot Welding

Abstract

As the number of welding experts and the cost of automation are reduced, the use of robotics is becoming increasingly important in this field. The purpose of this article is to introduce the automation of the production of a given component as a use case for university studies and experimental settings for further research. The part had previously been welded by hand, but the growing annual order number has necessitated robot welding. The article presents a new welding device that uses a robotic arm equipped with relevant sensors.
