POSITION WELDING [17 records]

Record 1 2025-02-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
CONT

Trajectory Accuracy : Some tasks require accurate movement along the path, such as welding, and not only at the final position. Another example is the collaboration of more robot arms where the precise and synchronized movements are crucial. For these tasks, low network delay is desired if external information shall be respected in the trajectory planning.

Record 2 2017-01-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding - Various Processes
DEF

A welding technique in which the arc force or gun is directed opposite to the progress of welding.

OBS

The term backhand technique is sometimes referred to as the "pull gun technique" in GMAW (gas metal arc welding) and in FCAW (flux-cored arc welding).

OBS

In this method, the torch precedes the welding rod,... the torch is held at approximately a 45 degree angle from the vertical away from the direction of welding, with the flame directed at the molten puddle. The welding rod is between the flame and the molten puddle. This position requires less transverse motion than is used in forehand welding.

OBS

backhand welding; pull gun technique: terms standardized by the American Welding Society (AWS).

OBS

backhand welding: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

Soudage à droite. Cette méthode s'applique au soudage de tôles plus épaisses [...] et chanfreinées. Le chalumeau est toujours animé d'un mouvement rectiligne mais la baguette reste plongée dans le bain tout en étant animée d'un mouvement de va-et-vient d'un bord à l'autre.

OBS

soudage en arrière; soudage à droite : termes uniformisés par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

Record 3 2011-09-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Arc Welding
CONT

Carbon monoxide evolution from electrode. According to this theory of metal movement in the welding arc, carbon monoxide is evolved within the molten metal at the electrode tip, causing miniature explosions which expel molten metal away from the electrode and toward the work. This theory is substantiated by the fact that bare wire electrodes made of high purity iron or "killed steel"(i. e., steel that has been almost completely deoxidized in casting) cannot be used successfully in the overhead position. The metal transfer from electrode to the work, the spatter, and the carter formation are, in this theory, caused by the decarburizing action in molten steel.

OBS

metal transfer; metal transfer mode: terms officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soudage à l'arc
CONT

Selon les conditions de l'alimentation de l'arc, le transfert de métal dans l'arc peut avoir lieu de deux manières différentes : en régime dit «surcritique» [...] en régime dit «sous-critique».

CONT

En vue d'assurer des conditions de transfert métallique électrode-pièce satisfaisantes, il existe une gamme de réglage des caractéristiques électriques correspondant à des régimes d'arc de nature différente, à la fois fonction de la position de soudage et de l'épaisseur des pièces.

OBS

mode de transfert du métal : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
DEF

A pipe, mounted to the front plate of a combustion chamber, through which an optical flame detector sights the burner flame.

CONT

The Forney Dual Fuel Horn Igniter assembly consists of a mounting plate, combination oil and gas gun, High Energy Spark Igniter (HESI), 6" combustion air tube, flame detector and horn. The mounting plate retains the oil/gas gun, HESI and flame detector guide pipe. The flame detector head is mounted on a 1" sight pipe which provides an unobstructed view of the flame inside the horn.

CONT

This fibre optic viewing head extension is particularly useful for solving the sighting problems associated with tilting or movable burners. The flame envelope from this type of burner can be tilted from a horizontal position up or down as much as 30 degrees. It would be impossible to follow this flame pattern with a fixed sighting through the wind-box. Welding the tip guide(lens end) of this viewing head extension to the movable air compartment nozzle solves this problem. This viewing head extension can also be used for those applications where it is impossible to find a clear unobstructed view of the flame using a standard sight pipe. Here again the viewing head extension is mounted inside the furnace for a clear unobstructed view of the flame.

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
  • Machine-Tooling (Metallurgy)
DEF

A robot used for spotwelding and consisting of three main parts : a mechanical structure comprising the body, arm and wrist; a welding tool; and a control unit. The mechanical structure serves to position the welding tool at any point within the working volume and orient the tool in any given direction so that it can perform the appropriate task.

OBS

An individual with no experience might think that a spot-welding robot and an arc-welding robot are the same but with different welding equipment. Actually, these are two different robotic systems; the control of spot-welding robot is based upon a point-to-point operation ... arc welding ... requires a continuous-path system.
