  • Automatic welding method and apparatus
    Patent number: 10166622
    Abstract: A method of automatically controlling welding using a welding apparatus having a heat-source and a wire feed. The method includes: setting at least one welding parameter; setting a stable wire interaction position where the wire fed by the wire feed interacts with the heat generated by the heat-source so as to produce an acceptable weld; and monitoring the wire interaction position during welding. If the wire interaction position deviates from the stable wire interaction position by more than an allowable tolerance at least one welding parameter is automatically altered to return the wire interaction position to within the allowable tolerance of the stable wire interaction position. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method.
