  • Patent number: 11498144
    Abstract: A welding system that, using a junction at which a standing plate and a bottom plate meet as a welding line, makes an electrode weave centered on the welding line and thereby welds along the welding line. While weaving, the electrode moves forward in a welding advancement direction until a bottom-plate-side weaving edge. When the electrode arrives at the bottom-plate-side weaving edge, the electrode moves backward with respect to the welding advancement direction until a standing-plate-side weaving edge. The electrode repeats this weaving motion on the bottom-plate side and on the standing-plate side. The system can suppress occurrence of inferior bead appearance and of welding defects in horizontal fillet welding.

  • Patent number: 10406620
    Abstract: A welding system that, using a junction at which a standing plate and a bottom plate meet as a welding line, makes an electrode weave centered on the welding line and thereby welds along the welding line. In this welding system, control is performed such that the arc voltage at a standing-plate-side weaving edge is equal to or less than the arc voltage at a welding-line center position, such that the arc voltage at a bottom-plate-side weaving edge becomes equal to or greater than the arc voltage at the welding-line center position, and such that the arc voltage at the standing-plate-side weaving edge becomes lower than the arc voltage at the bottom-plate-side weaving edge. The system can suppress occurrence of inferior bead appearance and of welding defects in horizontal fillet welding.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile communication system in which variable bandwidths are set in this manner, and a base station controller for setting these variable bandwidths. A base station controller sends a value indicating a requested bandwidth required for a channel of variable bandwidth to a base station. The base station, upon receiving the request, returns a response of an allocatable bandwidth equal to or lower than the requested bandwidth, to the base station controller. The base station controller, upon receiving the response, sets the channel of variable bandwidth between a mobile station and the base station, and between the base station and the base station controller, according to the allocatable bandwidth.
