Welding and sensor application with rotating torch

Aims to present missing knowledge of welding and sensor application with rotating torch to the technically and economically meaningful employment. With the help of this knowledge, on the one hand, the potential user is to be informed about the applicability of the system in the context of his production line and his products and on the other hand, the classification of the system in the range of the alternatives available on market.

Introduces the welding operation and experimental results of rotating torch integrated with a sensor device using a 6‐axis robot. Performed various laboratory experiments investigating variable frequency values with different torch orientations.

Figures out the optimum frequency and torch orientation to obtain ultimate welding geometry by means of compensating gaps with increased weld root. Observed the possibility of out‐of‐position welding.

In this manner, provides a great scope as a pioneer application in industry and a guidance for forthcoming researches.

Allows welding of thin sheet metals.

Presents a seminal concept in the field of any industrial applications such as marine and pipeline construction.
