Abstract
Adaptive GMAW pipeline welding is a specialized application of adaptive GMAW technology for welding pipelines in the oil and gas industry. The technology utilizes real-time monitoring and feedback control systems to adjust welding parameters based on pipeline geometry, material properties, and environmental conditions. The adaptive GMAW pipeline welding process can increase welding efficiency, reduce weld defects, and enhance weld quality. The technology has become increasingly important in the oil and gas industry due to the high demands for pipeline infrastructure, and the need for cost-effective, efficient, and high-quality welding solutions. Nevertheless, challenges still must be overcome such as laser tracking accuracy in orbital welding system due retroactive movements in function of offset between laser TCP and torch TCP, and rail base surface error. This work aimed to develop a calibration methodology for increasing the accuracy over an adaptative orbital welding system. The main results show that previous joint mapping using Laser at TCP can be used to create a correction curve to mitigate the surface error due to the relation among rail, pipe and laser offset.
