Field: Machine tools (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 18:
19. One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with software comprising computer executable instructions and, when the software is executed, operable to:
scan a geometry and a cross section of a joint to be welded;
estimate, based on the scanning, a total number of runs to weld the joint using a SAW operation performed by the SAW apparatus;
monitor the SAW operation in real-time;
determine a discrepancy between (i) desired weld parameter that is based on the geometry and the cross section of the joint to be welded and the total number of runs and Iii) an actual weld parameter of a weld formed by a submerged arc welding (SAW) operation; and
modify, in real-time, at least one of balance or offset of an AC welding power signal generated by a welding power supply to compensate for the discrepancy.
