Abstract
A system and method for adaptive welding. In some embodiments, the system includes a weld head, a first weld monitoring camera, and a machine learning system. The machine learning system may be configured, while the weld head forms a weld layer in a groove, to estimate the position of a distal end of a filler wire relative to the groove.
Claims20
A system for welding, comprising:
- a weld head;
- a first weld monitoring camera;
- and
- a machine learning system,
- wherein the machine learning system is configured, while the weld head forms a weld layer in a groove, to estimate the position of a distal end of a filler wire relative to the groove.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- calculating a travel speed of a substrate relative to a weld head, based on:
- a feed speed of a filler wire;
- a dimension of the filler wire;
- and
- a dimension of a weld layer to be formed.
2 more elements
The method of, wherein the calculating is further based on an efficiency factor.
