A Study of Seam Topography Measurement System in 3D Butt Welding of Main Steel Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

In 3D butt welding of main steel structure, the accuracy of arc trajectory along the centre of seam and the distance between arc and seam are critical. Thus an accurate topography measurement system is important for controlling those parameters. In this paper, a seam topography measurement system for measuring seam topography of 3D main steel structure was developed using telecentric lens, CCD camera and diode laser. A detection algorithm was developed to detect seam topography based on grey projection integral approach. Experimental study shown that the seam topography measurement system could accurately measure the seam topography, seam width and detect seam boarder. The detection algorithm was also demonstrated with high self-verification ability.
