Welding is one of the important processing method in the manufacturing, due to the rapid development of
modern science and technology and a number of factors, the welding process is experiencing the transition
from manual welding and automatic welding. Welding process automation and robotic nanomanipulation and
intelligent has become the inexorable trend of welding industry development.


Welding automation refers to in the absence of people directly involved in the case, with automatic control,
automatic adjustment, testing, processing machinery, equipment, instrumentation, in a specified program
or command automatically, by heat, pressure, or both, and make the two artifacts produced between
atoms combine technical measures. Its aim is to increase production, improve quality, reduce cost and
labor intensity, to ensure the safety of production, etc. Automation has become a measure of the modern
state science and technology and one of the important symbol of the levels of economic development.


Modern automation technology mainly rely on computer control technology to realize, is the direction of the
welding structure production technology development, program control and digital control was realized.
Computer control system in the role of various kinds of automatic welding and cutting equipment is not
only control the welding parameters, and must be able to automatically coordinated sets of welding
equipment of the movement of each component, realize unmanned operation, namely implement welding
production of numerical control, automation and intellectualization. And the use of robots make computer
technology in welding industry has a wider use. Using robot welding has became the prime symbol for the
modernization of welding automation technology. Due to welding robot possesses the advantages of
strong commonality, reliable operation, more and more attention by people. In automatic welding
production line, to promote and expand nc welding and welding robot manipulator, can improve the
productivity and production levels, improve the labor safety and hygiene conditions, stability, and ensure
the quality of welding, welding automation products in batches. Welding process automation, intelligent is
to improve the stability of welding quality, solve the important direction of poor Labour conditions.


Improve the level of automation is the focus direction of the advanced industrial countries in the world, and
to realize automatic welding is also is our ideal and goal. Foreign industrial advanced country in the new
welding technology on the concrete application of many successful performance; In China the study of the
automatic welding technology, equipment manufacturing enterprises also have made great progress,
accumulated a certain technology, talent, manufacturing experience, part of the automatic welding
technology and equipment level has reached the international advanced level, there are a lot of use cases,
individual products are also exported to overseas; The constant improvement of modern rapid development
of its new technology; The state of equipment manufacturing industry development encourages policy;
These conditions have, will speed up to promote the Chinese welding industry technology and equipment
upgrades. Welding technology in the future, on the one hand, to the development of new welding method,
welding equipment andwelding materials, to further improve the welding quality and safe reliability, on the
other hand to improve welding mechanization and automation level, such as welding machine; Developed
from the preparation process of quality control, welding to the whole process automation of special welding
machine; In automatic welding production line, to promote and expand nc welding and welding robot
manipulator, can improve the level of welding production, improve the welding condition of health and safety.
China's reform and opening up 30 years of economic construction has made great progress, and related
fields in welding industry progress very fast these years, China's economic conditions, industrial base,
industrial workers skills and qualities, and the concept of enterprise management level has reached a
higher level, so the Chinese welding industry has the premise condition of rapid development to the
automatic and intelligent.


In recent years, with the vigorous development of the manufacturing industry, improve the productivity of
welding production, ensure product quality, realize the automation of welding production and intelligent by
welding production enterprises more and more attention. Involve more than one interdisciplinary
automation technology, therefore, the development of welding automation must lead the whole
manufacturing production efficiency, the integrated application of analysis and research, to promote the
development of modern science and technology system, has a certain theoretical significance and practical
significance. Can predict, China welding industry automation, intelligent time has come!
