Describes in detail many novel and previously un-published techniques developed by the authorCovers
arc welding behavior, arc control methods, arc sensors and seam
tracking, temperature measurement, and automatic path programming of
welding robots Introduces methods of arc control that are unique, original, and demonstrate outstanding performancePresents a fast, simple, and reliable method for measuring weldment temperature fieldsContains hundreds of diagrams and drawings
Advances
in science and technology have transformed the welding industry in
recent years, and new developments in arc welding are at the forefront
of those advances. Arc Welding Control details Professor Pan Jiluan's
unique achievements in this area using innovative methods that have
achieved outstanding results.
Part I of this book quantitatively
describes on the basis of control theory the dynamic behavior of arc
welding, the power sources used, and their effects on welding
technology. Part II describes new ways of controlling the welding arc
through modern electronics. Part III establishes the first mathematical
model of the arc sensor on the basis of control theory, and Part IV
describes a new method for measuring weldment temperature fields using
the colorimetric-imaging method. Finally, Part V describes the idea of
recognizing weld grooves with a three-dimensional vision system and
automatic programming of the weld path.
Written by a pioneer in
the field, Arc Welding Control will not only promote welding
automation, but will also play a significant role in guiding further
developments in this important area of technology.
