Abstract
A dual-weave welding system is disclosed. The system may have a first welding device configured to create a weld joint in a gap between two or more work pieces by moving a first welding component along a first weaving path. The system may also have a second welding device configured to create the weld joint in the gap by moving a second welding component along a second weaving path. The system may further have a controller that sends commands to control the movement of the first welding device and the second welding device.
Claims20
A dual-weave welding system, comprising:
- a first welding device configured to create a weld joint in a gap between two or more work pieces by moving a first welding component along a first weaving path;
- and
- a second welding device configured to create the weld joint in the gap by moving a second welding component along a second weaving path.
A method for creating a weld joint in a gap between two or more work pieces, the method comprising:
- controlling a first welding device to move a first welding component of the first welding device along a first weaving path;
- and
- controlling a second welding device to move a second welding component of the second welding device along a second weaving path.
A dual-weave welding system comprising:
- one or more memories storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
- send a command to a first welding device to move a first welding component of the first welding device along a first weaving path;
- and
- send a command to a second welding device to move a second welding component of the second welding device along a second weaving path.
