How Sensors Improve Automated Welding Processes

Many of the skills that manual welders use must be implemented in automated welding machines. Because humans have decision-making capabilities, also automated facilities for welding operations must be programmed to make the decisions humans take for granted.

Displacement and profile measuring sensors from Micro-Epsilon impress in numerous measurement tasks in welding applications and are used, e.g., for planning a welding head or workpiece path, controlling operations at the welding head and performing quality assurance operations.
