Abstract:
1. A method of automatically preheating and welding a weld piece using a robot comprising: obtaining welding parameters for a planned weld of a weld piece; entering said welding parameters in a preheat and welding model; generating operating parameters for preheating and welding said weld piece using said preheat and welding model, wherein said process comprises: performing a sample weld using said operating parameters; collecting empirical data from said sample weld; comparing said empirical data with operating parameter limits; performing said preheating and welding process on said weld piece if said operating parameter limits are not exceeded; modifying said preheat and welding model if said operating parameter limits are exceeded using said empirical data to produce a modified preheat and welding model for performing said preheating and welding process on said weld piece.
