Abstract
An arc welding system including an electric circuit including a power source, a welding torch with a consumable welding wire, a workpiece and a control system including a computer, memory and elements for tuning the arc welding system.
Claims12
A method of tuning an arc welding system comprising an electric circuit including a power source, and a control system including computer means and memory means, the method comprising:
- determining values of system input parameters of the electric circuit;
- calculating tuning parameter values from these system input parameters by using a simulation model of the arc welding system;
- and
- tuning the arc welding system by implementing the tuning parameter values into the control system,
- wherein the simulation model is calibrated to represent the actual welding situation by measurement of model parameter values on the welding station on site.
