A welding system that, using a junction at which a standing plate and a bottom plate meet as a welding line, makes an electrode weave centered on the welding line and thereby welds along the welding line. While weaving, the electrode moves forward in a welding advancement direction until a bottom-plate-side weaving edge. When the electrode arrives at the bottom-plate-side weaving edge, the electrode moves backward with respect to the welding advancement direction until a standing-plate-side weaving edge. The electrode repeats this weaving motion on the bottom-plate side and on the standing-plate side. The system can suppress occurrence of inferior bead appearance and of welding defects in horizontal fillet welding.
A horizontal fillet welding method comprising:
A horizontal fillet welding system comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program used in a horizontal fillet welding system that performs welding along a welding line by using a junction at which a standing plate and a bottom plate meet as the welding line and causing an electrode to perform a weaving operation with reference to the welding line as a center, the program, when executed by a computer, causes the horizontal fillet welding system to perform the weaving operation including moving the electrode forward in a welding travel direction to a bottom-plate-side weaving edge and moving the electrode rearward against the welding travel direction to a standing-plate-side weaving edge when the electrode reaches the bottom-plate-side weaving edge, the weaving operation being repeated at the bottom plate side and the standing plate side, the weaving operating including tilting the electrode to make a torch tilt angle at which the electrode is tilted relative to the bottom plate larger at the bottom-plate-side weaving edge than at the standing-plate-side weaving edge,
