Abstract
One of the significant subject in the automatic arc welding is to establish control system of the welding parameters for controlling bead geometry as a criterion to evaluate the quality of arc welding. This paper proposes an inference algorithm for bead geometry in GMA Welding using Neuro-Fuzzy algorithm. The characteristic welding parameters are measured by the circuit composed of hall sensor, voltage divider tachometer. etc. and then the bead geometry of cach weld pool is calculated and detected by an image processing with CCD camera and a measuring with microscope. The relationships between the characteristic welding parameters and the bead geometry have been arranged empirically. From the result of experiments. membership functions and fuzzy rules are tuned and determined by the learning of neural network. and then the relationship between actual bead geometry and inferred bead geometry are concluded by fuzzy logic controller. In the applied inference system of bead geometry using Neuro-Fuzzy algorithm. the inference error percent is within -5% ~ +4% in case of bead width. -10%~+10% in bead height. -5%~+6% in bead area. -10%~+10% in penetration. Use of the Neuro-Fuzzy algorithm allows the GMA Welding system to evaluate the quality in bead geometry in real time as the welding parameters change.
