Method for correcting the direction of weaving of a welding torch with respect to a welding centerline
First Claim
1. A method for correcting a welding path of a welding torch which weaves from side to side while proceeding along the welding path, said method comprising the steps of:
- determining the center of weaving of the welding torch with respect to a welding center line, by monitoring the arc current which varies according to a change of distance between the welding end of the welding torch and a welding surface;
correcting the center of weaving of the welding torch to a correction position on the welding center line, when the amount of misalignment between the center of weaving of the welding torch and the welding center line is greater than a predetermined value; and
correcting the direction of weaving of the welding torch to be perpendicular to an imaginary line connecting most recent two correction positions among the correction positions of said center of weaving.

Abstract
A method for correcting the welding path of a welding torch which weaves from side to side while proceeding along the welding path is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: determining the center of weaving of the welding torch with respect to a welding center line, by monitoring the arc current which varies according to the change of distance between the welding end of the welding torch and a welding surface; and correcting the center of weaving of the welding torch to a correction position on the welding center line, when the center of weaving of the welding torch is misaligned with the welding center line by a predetermined distance, in which the direction of weaving of the welding torch is corrected to be perpendicular to an imaginary line connecting the most recent two correction positions among the correction positions of the center of weaving.
