Wizyjna kontrola rozmiaru jeziorka spawalniczego w czasie rzeczywistym
Main Article Content
Abstract
W artykule omówiono technikę komputerowego przetwarzania obrazów, opartą na pomiarze i kontroli w czasie rzeczywistym powierzchni lub rozmiaru jeziorka spawalniczego od strony źródła ciepła i od strony przetopu. Wykazano możliwości zastosowania komputerowego przetwarzania obrazu do utrzymania wymiarów przez wykonanie pomiarów oraz sterowanie procesem topienia i formowania spoiny. Opracowano algorytm analizy obrazu oparty na porównywaniu z wzorcem, który może być dobrany dla różnych metod spawania. Regulacja szerokości powierzchni jeziorka spawalniczego od strony źródła ciepła, za pomocą prostego klasycznego algorytmu sterowania ze sprzężeniem zwrotnym, umożliwia polepszenie jednorodności i powtarzalności spoiny przy zmieniających się warunkach odprowadzenia ciepła.
Real-time vision based control of weld pool size
A computer vision technique based on the real-time measurement and control of the upper surface or ‘topface weld pool size is discussed. The primary objective has been to demonstrate the feasibility of using vision based image processing to provide measurements and the subsequent control of weld geometrical properties during the weld formation or molten phase. A novel reference feature correlation based image analysis algorithm has been developed that may be configured to operate with a number of different welding processes. Upper surface weld pool with regulation via a simple classical feedback control algorithm has then been demonstrated to show how this approach may be used to improve weld uniformity and repeatability.
