Assignee:

LINCOLN GLOBAL, INC. - CITY OF INDUSTRY CA

International Classification:

B23K 9/10

US Classification:

2191305

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.

B23K 9/10
B23K 9/173

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.

International Classification:

B23K 9/16

US Classification:

219 74

Abstract:

Systems and methods to affect heat input to a weld and, therefore, an appearance of a deposited weld bead by modulating a mixing ratio of shielding gases and/or one or more welding parameters. For example, a mixing ratio of two different shielding gases from two sources of shielding gases may be modulated to affect the appearance of a deposited weld bead. The modulation frequency may be based on a selected travel speed of a welding tool. Furthermore, a wire feed speed of a welding electrode may be synergistically modulated with the shielding gases to affect a deposited weld bead appearance. Other welding parameters may be synergistically modulated with the shielding gases to affect a deposited weld bead appearance.

International Classification:

B23K 9/10

US Classification:

21913021

Abstract:

Systems and methods for facilitating the starting and stopping of arc welding processes, as well as for responding to events in mid-weld. Specially designed signals may be briefly applied between a welding electrode and a welding workpiece at the start and end of a welding process to gracefully and properly start and stop a weld. Furthermore, specially designed signals may be briefly applied in the middle of a welding process, if determined events occur, to counter the undesirable effects of the events.
