Abstract:
An arc sensor adjustment device and adjustment method for carrying out highly-accurate copying control. A welding system includes a welding torch, a welding power source that supplies power to the welding torch, a robot and a robot controller that cause the welding torch to oscillate, and an arc sensor that obtains a welding current or a welding voltage generated during welding while oscillating the welding torch. The arc sensor obtains a welding current or a welding voltage generated during calibration, in which welding is carried out while oscillating the welding torch in an up-down direction, calculates, on the basis of the obtained welding current or welding voltage, a correction amount for the position of the welding torch during welding carried out while oscillating the welding torch in a left-right direction, and applies the calculated correction amount to copying control.

Claim (Index 4):
An arc sensor adjustment method used in a welding system that carries out copying control of a welding torch, the method comprising:\n carrying out a calibration operation of obtaining a welding current or a welding voltage while power is supplied to the welding torch and the welding torch is caused to oscillate in an up-down direction; and calculating an adjustment value on the basis of the welding current or welding voltage obtained through the calibration operation and calculating a correction amount for correcting a position of the welding torch in the copying control on the basis of the adjustment value.
