ABSTRACT:
A weld apparatus comprises a compound slide for moving a welding torch relative to a substrate to be welded so as to traverse a surface of the substrate. A control system disposed on the slide and comprises a control slide rail disposed on the slide for movement relative thereto in response to a depression on the substrate or a previous weld bead being encountered by a weld torch on the rail. A contact wheel is disposed on the slide and is engaged by the rail in a manner to rotate the wheel in response to the welding torch encountering a depression. A switch or other device is actuated by the contact wheel to generate an electrical signal indicative that a depression has been encountered for adjusting a weld parameter.
