ABSTRACT:
An adaptive welding method and apparatus adjusts the amount of weld material deposited in a fillet weld based on gap width and gap orientation. The method includes the step of obtaining nominal area information identifying a nominal weld cross sectional area between a first plate and a second plate to be welded. The method further includes the step of obtaining gap width information identifying a width of a gap between the first plate and the second plate. The method still further includes the step of determining a supplemental area defining the cross sectional area in excess of the nominal weld cross sectional area, the determination based on the gap width information and a predetermined gap orientation. The method yet further includes the step of controlling one or more weld parameters based on the nominal area information and the determined supplemental area.
