Robotic Automation: Arc Welding

In arc welding, the intense heat needed to melt metal is produced by an electric arc. The arc is formed between the actual work and an electrode (stick or wire) that is manually or mechanically guided along the joint.

The electrode can either be a rod with the purpose of carrying the current between the tip and the work or a specially prepared rod or wire that not only conducts the current but also melts and supplies filler metal to the joint. The latter is typically used with steel product manufacturing.

Automated arc welding offers many advantages. Not only does it improve the finished weld, but it is one of the most cost-effective steps a company can take.

Additional Arc Welding Information:

Arc welding is one of several fusion processes for joining metals. It involves applying intense heat to metal at a joint between two parts so that the parts melt and intermix. This is either done directly, or more commonly, with an intermediate molten filler metal.

Since the joining is an intermixture of metals, the final weldment potentially has the same strength properties as the metal of the parts. Because of this intermixture of metals arc welding is a great deal different from non-fusion processes of joining in which the mechanical and physical properties of the base materials cannot be duplicated at the joint.
