A Survey of Underwater Wet Weld Seam Tracking Based on Ultrasonic Sensor

Abstract:

With the exploration of marine sources becoming more and more important, underwater welding is widely needed. Because of the special working condition, underwater weld seam tracking technology is urgently needed, for the automation control of the underwater welding process is the inevitable development trend because of the rigorous environment. This paper used ultrasonic sensor to monitor the weld seam position in underwater wet welding process, and signal process algorithm was developed to obtain the weld seam information, experiment results showed that this method could detect the weld seam shape correctly, this load the foundation for further automatically controlling the welding process.
