  • Publication number: 20200130088
    Abstract: A time-based short circuit response is employed when a short circuit event occurs during a welding process. When short circuit occurs, a time until a predetermined event in the welding process is determined. Based on the time remaining before the predetermined event, a particular short circuit response is executed.

  • Publication number: 20200130087
    Abstract: A multi-stage pulse ramp is employed during a welding process. In a first stage, a relatively slower increase in welding output is applied to stabilize a droplet. During a second stage, a relatively quicker increase is applied up to a peak pulse output to transfer the stabilized droplet.

  • Publication number: 20190314919
    Abstract: The invention described herein generally pertains to a system and method for performing a welding operation that is controlled in part by a welding sequence. An input component is provided that receives an input from an operator during a performance of a welding operation in which the input allows control of the welding operation or feedback from the welding operation. In an embodiment, the input component is incorporated or affixed to equipment of the operator. An Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag is further utilized to control use of a welding sequence based on wireless data communicated between the RFID tag and an RFID component.

  • Publication number: 20180304392
    Abstract: The invention described herein generally pertains to a system and method for evaluating one or more conditions or preliminary weld condition related to a welding system and/or method that utilizes a welding sequence to perform two or more welds with respective welding schedules. In an embodiment, an operator registration is provided that verifies the operator and identifies welding sequences to which the operator is authorized to perform. In another embodiment, one or more fixture locations are monitored to determine whether a workpiece is accurately configured prior to a welding operation. In still another embodiment, locations on a workpiece can be displayed to assist an operator in performing two or more welds utilizing a welding sequence. Moreover, a wireless system communications a data signal to a welding work cell in which such data is used to identify a welding sequence.

  • Publication number: 20140124492
    Abstract: A system for and method of controlling the heat input in a welding operation are provided. The system includes an arc welding power supply configured to output a welding waveform to a welding torch. The welding power supply includes a waveform generator to generate an output welding waveform. The power supply also includes a controller to optimize the output welding waveform based on one of a desired RMS voltage set point and a desired RMS voltage range. The optimization is performed by adjusting at least one of a power ratio and a duration ratio. The power ratio is a ratio of a power of a negative portion of the welding waveform to a power of a positive portion of the welding waveform, and the duration ratio is a ratio of a duration of a negative portion of the welding waveform to a duration of a positive portion of the welding waveform.
