High Speed Weld Control System of Dual-Bypass MIG Based on LabVIEW

Abstract:

Dual-bypass MIG welding (DB-GMAW) is a new kind of high speed MIG welding with three arcs. In order to monitor the weld process and control it, a high speed weld system of DB-GMAW was built. The system was run by LabVIEW programs, including getting data of system and control output signals. The test result of system showed that all equipments could be used in the same time. Beside images of weld pool and arc, the weld voltages and currents of every part had been acquired. The signals of bypass current and weld speed also had been input TIG welding sources and worktable motor successfully. Meanwhile, the high speed weld formation had a good quality, and all of these established the closed-loop control of high speed DB-GMAW.
