Description (French)
Ce projet de R-D a développé un nouveau système avancé de soudage à l’arc gaz-métal pour les applications où un faible apport de chaleur et une grande efficacité sont nécessaires, ce qui a un impact sur la production d’éclaboussures. Ce nouveau système intégrera du matériel avancé en silicium ainsi qu’un logiciel d’apprentissage automatique pour atteindre son objectif en reconnaissant des modèles dans les données mesurées et en appliquant des changements pour obtenir un résultat optimal à travers l’arc de soudage.
