Abstract
The invention described herein generally pertains to a system and method for welder system that relates to creating a welding sequence for a welding environment in which the welding sequence is based upon real time data collected from a performed or previously performed welding procedure. Welding procedure information is collected and utilized to create a welding sequence to perform two or more welds in which at least one parameter is based on the collected welding procedure information (e.g., real world welding procedure).
Claims20
A welder system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for the processor to execute, the instructions comprising:
- a generate component that is configured to automatically create or edit a welding sequence based on welding procedure data from a weld performed before employing the welding sequence;
- a welding job sequencer component that is configured to employ the welding sequence for a welding work cell to perform at least a first weld and a second weld, wherein the welding sequence defines at least:
- a first weld schedule having at least one first weld parameter;
- and
- a second weld schedule having at least one second weld parameter, wherein at least one of said second weld parameter is different from said first weld parameter;
- and
- the welder system configured to employ the welding sequence for the welding work cell to perform welds to assemble a workpiece by automatically adjusting parameters on a welding equipment within the welding work cell.
A method of welding with a welder system, comprising:
- executing computer readable instructions;
- and
- storing computer readable instructions, the instructions comprising:
- automatically creating or editing a welding sequence for a welding work cell to perform at least a first weld and a second weld based on welding procedure data from a weld performed before employing the welding sequence, wherein the welding sequence defines at least:
- a first weld schedule having at least one first weld parameter;
- and
- a second weld schedule having at least one second weld parameter, wherein at least one of said second weld parameter is different from said first weld parameter;
- and
- employing the welding sequence for the welding work cell to perform at least the first weld and the second weld by automatically adjusting a parameter on a welding equipment within the welding work cell.
A welder system, comprising:
- means for executing computer readable instructions;
- and
- means for storing computer readable instructions, the instructions comprising:
- automatically creating or editing a welding sequence for a welding work cell to perform at least a first weld and a second weld based on welding procedure data from a weld performed before employing the welding sequence, wherein the welding sequence defines at least:
- a first weld schedule having at least one first weld parameter;
- and
- a second weld schedule having at least one second weld parameter, wherein at least one of said second weld parameter is different from said first weld parameter;
- and
- the welder system configured to employ the welding sequence for the welding work cell to perform at least the first weld and the second weld by automatically adjusting a parameter on a welding equipment within the welding work cell.
