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. 3, record 1, English, - trajectory%20accuracy

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. 3, record 2, English, - backhand%20welding

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. 3, record 3, English, - metal%20transfer

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.
