Abstract

This paper addresses the development of an adaptive control system for keyhole arc welding process. The system developed adjusts the amperage of the peak current to achieve the desired peak current period under varying manufacturing conditions. A nominal model is selected from models identified using experimental data and is used as the a prior model of the controlled process. A predictive control algorithm has been designed for the nominal model structure. Closed-loop control experiments have been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the developed system under varying set-point and varying travel speed.
