element model of the process geometry, an evaluation for lateral tool position estimation<br />

can be made prior to fabrication, setup, and welding.<br />

Welds were performed at 1000 rpm and 4 in/min using 6061 aluminum in the two<br />

fixturing configurations depicted in Figure 30 and Figure 31. The configuration in Figure<br />

30 produced the laterally dependent process force variations necessary for seam<br />

misalignment detection while the configuration in Figure 31 did not. These<br />

configurations will be referred to as the tracked and the untracked configurations<br />

respectively.<br />
