The arc instabilities that occur with arc welding processes are likely to affect both the methods mentioned above.
Estimating the cost of heating in arc welding.
Sometimes the current is passing between a liquid and a gas, as in arc welding, arc furnaces or mercury arc rectifiers.
Improving the prototype system for arc welding and evaluation tests with an actual industrial robot are to be carried out in 1997.
Clinics are planned in diverse application areas including arc welding, spot welding, robot vision, colour vision, robot simulation, sensor-enhanced robots and robot assembly.
Figure 9 shows a matrix of feasible joint-weld combinations for arc welding of carbon steels.
The system has been tested and is very robust in the harsh environments generated by the arc welding process.
The survey also indicated that arc welding was the main application of robots installed in 1996 accounting for 81, some 32%, of the 250 robots installed.
