A system and method for submerged arc welding. The system advances a consumable welding electrode toward a workpiece, and then stops the advancement when the consumable electrode makes contact with the workpiece. The system provides a preheating current level through the consumable welding electrode proximate the workpiece while the consumable welding electrode is in contact with the workpiece during a preheating period of time to preheat the portion of the consumable welding electrode without establishing an arc. The system then retracts the consumable welding electrode from the workpiece and increases the preheating current level to a welding current level over an arc establishment period of time to establish an arc between the consumable welding electrode and the workpiece. The system then begins to form a weld by advancing the consumable welding electrode toward the workpiece again, resulting in melting the consumable welding electrode and depositing molten metal onto the workpiece.

An alternating current (AC) welding waveform, with two or more polarity changes during each molten metal droplet transfer cycle, is produced. The consumable welding electrode speed is mechanically controlled and the polarity is linked to known information about the electrode speed/direction, ensuring that at least two polarity changes are achieved per droplet transfer cycle. The arc polarity is concurrent with the change in direction of the electrode motion. The polarity can be changed based upon an actual speed of the electrode. Controlling the electrode motion and polarity in this way allows larger droplets to be created and higher deposition rates to be achieved at a lower frequency of shorting. The lower frequency of shorting also reduces wire feeder motor heating and wear, and increases contact tip life.

In one aspect, a welding electrode comprises a core wire having a base metal composition and two or more coatings covering at least a portion of the core wire. The two or more coatings comprise an electrically conductive coating including one or more electrically conducting elements or compounds in addition to or other than copper (Cu). The two or more coatings additionally comprises an additional functional coating including one or more additional elements or compounds adapted to reduce friction of the welding electrode, stabilize an arc formed from the welding electrode, modify a microstructure of a weld metal formed from the welding electrode and/or modify a surface tension of a molten droplet formed from the welding electrode. In another aspect, a method of manufacturing a welding electrode comprises providing the core wire having the base metal composition and forming the two or more coating layers.

A method of correcting angles of a welding torch positioned by a user while training a robot of a robotic welding system is provided. Weldment depth data of a weldment and a corresponding weld seam is acquired and 3D point cloud data is generated. 3D plane and intersection data is generated from the 3D point cloud data, representing the weldment and weld seam. User-placed 3D torch position and orientation data for a recorded weld point along the weld seam is imported. A torch push angle and a torch work angle are calculated for the recorded weld point, with respect to the weldment and weld seam, based on the user-placed torch position and orientation data and the 3D plane and intersection data. The torch push angle and the torch work angle are corrected for the recorded weld point based on pre-stored ideal angles for the weld seam.
A method of programming multiple weld passes in a collaborative robot welding system to perform multi-pass welding is provided. A root pass is programmed for a first weld seam by manually positioning a welding torch and automatically recording root pass position and angle data. Secondary passes for the first weld seam are also programmed. The tip of the welding torch is positioned at a start point and a stop point for each secondary pass. The start and stop position data of the start point and the stop point are automatically recorded for each secondary pass. Numerical position and angle offset data are automatically calculated. The root pass position and angle data and the offset data are stored as a multi-pass template. The template is translated and applied to a weld reference frame of a second weld seam to aid in programming secondary passes for the second weld seam.

An electric arc torch includes a torch body and a gas diffuser extending from a distal side of the torch body. A contact tip is attached to the gas diffuser. The contact tip has a bore extending along a first axis. A wire guide is located within the torch body and has a wire guide channel that extends from a wire receiving end of the wire guide channel to a wire discharge end of the wire guide channel. The wire discharge end is aligned with the bore of the contact tip. A wire electrode conduit extends from a lateral side of the torch body and is configured to discharge a wire electrode into the wire receiving end of the wire guide channel and along a second axis. An angle between the first axis and the second axis is not greater than 90 degrees.

A regulating valve device for a fluid cylinder includes a shut off valve having a ball tappet that actuates the shut off valve. A lever has a cam surface that interacts with the ball tappet as the lever is rotated to translate the ball tappet linearly and actuate the shut off valve. The lever is rotatable from a first valve closed position through a valve open position to a second valve closed position such that the valve open position is intermediate of the first and second valve closed positions. A pressure or flow regulating valve is downstream of the shut off valve. A handwheel is operatively connected to the pressure or flow regulating valve to adjust an outlet pressure of the pressure or flow regulating valve. The handwheel has an axis of operation that is offset from a longitudinal axis of the fluid cylinder by an acute angle.
