Claim 0:
1. A welding control device configured to control a position control target including both a weld wire used in welding of a weld target and an electrode for melting the weld wire, the welding control device comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory memory having stored thereon instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to perform:
determining an actual position of the position control target on the basis of a weld characteristic amount detected from a captured image captured so as to include at least the position control target, the welding characteristic amount including both a wire position of the weld wire and an electrode position of the electrode;
determining a target position being a target of the actual position corresponding to a weld condition for welding the weld target; and
executing a position control of the position control target to bring the actual position to the target position,
wherein in executing the position control, the weld wire and the electrode are each configured to move relatively to each other in each of a first horizontal direction and a second horizontal direction, the first horizontal direction being a direction in which the weld target extends, the second horizontal direction being a direction orthogonal to the first horizontal direction.
