Abstract
An automated welding system includes a support structure, a plurality of welding heads, and a controller. The plurality of welding heads are each removably, mechanically coupleable to the support structure. The controller is configured to control welding operations of the automated welding system based on an identity of a particular welding head of the plurality of welding heads that is mechanically coupled to the support structure and operably coupled to the controller.
Claims20
A method for configuring an automatic welding system, comprising:
- identifying a welding head that is mechanically and electrically coupled to the automatic welding system;
- determining one or more welding components and one or more parameters associated with the welding head;
- and
- initiating welding with the welding head with the one or more welding components and the one or more parameters determined to be associated with the welding head.
An automated welding system comprising:
- a support structure;
- a plurality of welding heads that are each removably, mechanically coupleable to the support structure;
- and
- a controller that is configured to control welding operations of the automated welding system based on an identity of a particular welding head of the plurality of welding heads that is mechanically coupled to the support structure and operably coupled to the controller.
One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with software comprising computer executable instructions and when the software is executed operable to:
- identify a welding head that is mechanically and electrically coupled to an automatic welding system;
- determine one or more welding components and one or more parameters associated with the welding head;
- and
- initiate welding with the welding head with the one or more welding components and the one or more parameters determined to be associated with the welding head.
