Concept
In Automation in Welding, mechanized devices hold the material and perform the weld.
Arc Welding
GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) Laser Welding Resistance Spot Welding
Gas Welding
metal arc welding, while often automated, are not necessarily equivalent to robot welding, since a human operator sometimes prepares the materials to be welded. welding is commonly used for Resistance Spot welding and Arc welding in high production applications, such as the automotive industry.
Robot
Semi-automatic : In Semi-Automatic Gas Welding, a weld controller is involved in the welding process, to control the motion of the torch and the parts and to adjust the welding parameter. In Semi-Automatic Arc Welding a control mechanism in the wire feeder actuates electrode wire feed and starts the current and shielding gas flow when welder presses the gun trigger. Fully-Automatic : Fully-Automatic welding uses machines to index the part or torch into position and to monitor the quality of the welds.

Welding Robots-Components
All robots have three main components: Sensors, which detect the state of environment Actuators, which modify the state of environment A control system, which controls actuators based on the environment depicted by the sensors the the the as

- It's a robot whose arm has three prismatic joints, whose axes are coincident with a Cartesian coordinator.
- It's a robot whose axes form a cylindrical coordinate system. - It's a robot whose axes form a polar coordinate system.

Advantages :
Consistency of quality welds Repeatability Reduction of production costs Fewer scrapped parts Increase return on investment (ROI)
Advancements
Welding vision has become important part of robotic welding system. Seam Tracker is a laser seam tracking system designed for high performance applications such as spiral pipe manufacture and tailor welded blanks. Using data acquired from the sensor the control system will display joint geometry, the gap and mismatch as well as calculate the optimum lateral and vertical position of the weld torch.
