Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

LJ Welding Automation Ltd.

$280,000.00

Develop Sensor Based Adaptive Welding Platform

FY 2018-19 · 2019-01-01

Summary
The American Welding Society's A3.0M/3.0 Standard Welding Terms and Definitions defines mechanized welding as "welding with equipment that requires manual adjustment of the equipment response to visual observation of the welding, with a torch, gun, or electrode holder held by a mechanical device". It defines automated welding as "welding with equipment that requires only occasional or no observation of the weld, and no manual adjustment of the equipment controls". The aim of this project is to develop a broad-based platform for enabling equipment typically deployed for mechanized applications to be automated, and for this platform to be flexible enough for customer-optimization and basic programming for application-specific use.

Description
The American Welding Society's A3.0M/3.0 Standard Welding Terms and Definitions defines mechanized welding as "welding with equipment that requires manual adjustment of the equipment response to visual observation of the welding, with a torch, gun, or electrode holder held by a mechanical device". It defines automated welding as "welding with equipment that requires only occasional or no observation of the weld, and no manual adjustment of the equipment controls".

Description (French)
Les termes et définitions standard de soudage A3.0M / 3.0 de « American Welding Society » définissent le soudage mécanisé comme « le soudage avec un équipement nécessitant un réglage manuel de la réponse de l'équipement à l'observation visuelle du soudage, avec une torche, un pistolet ou un porte-électrode tenu par un dispositif mécanique ». Il définit le soudage automatisé comme « un soudage avec un équipement, qui ne nécessite qu'une observation occasionnelle ou aucune observation du soudage, et aucun ajustement manuel des commandes de l'équipement ». L'objectif de ce projet est de développer une plate-forme large permettant l'automatisation des équipements généralement déployés pour des applications mécanisées et la flexibilité de cette plate-forme pour permettre l'optimisation par des clients et la programmation de base pour une utilisation spécifique à une application.
