Sensors for Welding Data Acquisition

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Interdisciplinary Treatment to Arc Welding Power Sources

Abstract

Sensors in arc welding process can obtain information about the geometry and position of the workpiece, electrical parameters like voltage, current, wire feed rate, in addition to providing suitable form of control over the welding process parameters. The weld quality mainly depends on weld parameters like current, voltage, wire speed and wire feed rate. The welding torch also influences the flow of the material. The input heat for melting the component and constant heat flow is directly related with the welding torch control and it further influences the weld quality. This chapter presents the fundamental knowledge on data acquisition in arc welding process with real-time case study illustrations.
