Abstract: The article describes an innovative robotic MAG method for the welding
for ship elements. The method involves the use of two wire feeders and one
torch, making it possible to weld two different steel grades. In addition, the robot
application is equipped with an off-line programming DTPS system (Desk
Top Programming & Simulation System) as well as an arc sensor, a gas nozzle
touch sensor and a laser touch sensor featuring a seam finding function. The system
is also provided with a welding parameter monitoring and archiving system.
