ABSTRACT:
A displacement transducer is used to continuously monitor the distance between two fixtures securing parts to be welded. The signal from the displacement transducer is used to stop the welding process when a desired amount of material has been extruded from the weld. The control strategy will automatically take into account part nonuniformities that normally result in poor welds in welding processes that use time as the control variable.
