An Automatic Control System Based on Arc Voltage of TIG Welding

Abstract:

This paper describes an automation welding control system for Tungsten inert gas shielded (TIG) welding to maintain constant arc length. And using this method can replace manual operation. A voltage transducer was used to avoid high-frequency voltage. And dynamic relation between variation of arc length and voltage are described. A digital Proportion-Integration-Differentiation (PID) controller with identified value has been used modulate the rate of electrode feed mechanism. The mechanism, which driven by Servomotor A, can compensated variation of arc length in welding path. By keeping the arc length constant during the welding process, an elegant appearance and higher quality seam is obtained. The experiment result shows that this automatic control system based on digital PID controller is stable, and can working effectively without operator manipulation.
