Problem: Circumferential butt welding of pipes-especially in field applications including shipbuilding, is possibly the single most demanding job for welder skills. Welders are required to hold and move the torch smoothly and evenly and control fluctuations in the travel speed and stand-off distance. For mechanized operation, the joint must be prepared with high precision. Solutions: The adaptive intelligent control technology can adjust welding parameters based on observation of the weld pool surface, aiding both highly skilled and less skilled welders. A "torch sensor" measures weld pool depth and can be attached to a regular welding torch. Also, our quasi-keyhole technology can respond real-time to fluctuations/variations in the welder's operations or the joint preparation. Benefits: Adaptive Intelligent Pipe Welding offers many advantages over conventional pipe welding including:
