METHODS AND APPARATUS TO TRAIN A ROBOTIC WELDING SYSTEM TO PERFORM WELDING

Abstract:

An example robotic welding system includes: one or more sensors configured to determine a physical position and orientation of a welding tool with respect to a reference frame; and a processor configured to: communicatively connect to a welding-type power supply; during a welding operation performed using the welding tool: track the physical position and orientation of the welding tool within the reference frame; and monitor at least one of an input or an output of the welding-type power supply; and generate a robotic welding procedure based on the tracked physical position and orientation of the welding tool and based on the at least one monitored input or monitored output of the welding-type power supply.
