6. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION<br />

This system has been designed to perform arc welding automatically with maintained depth <strong>of</strong> penetration at<br />

optimum welding speed. Experiment has been carried out to measure the depth <strong>of</strong> penetration at different<br />

welding speed. This setup is PLC-controlled automatic arc welding system, which is simple, easy maintenance<br />

and effective in increasing the production with efficiency. This machine significantly reduced labor intensity and<br />

health/safety hazards to operator with good economic returns increasing the production rate.<br />

Readings <strong>of</strong> depth <strong>of</strong> penetration has been measured and given in table below which has been measured through<br />

measuring instrument after cutting all the welded specimens perpendicular to the direction <strong>of</strong> welding to analyze<br />

the depth <strong>of</strong> penetration. Graph is plotted between welding speed and penetration.<br />

The system can replace the human performed welding process at higher speed and quality. Alarm window has<br />

been used to set different alarms in case <strong>of</strong> job completion or in case <strong>of</strong> any fault. When the system is running<br />

error, corresponding dynamic screens pop up. Finally function key window is used to perform various actions by<br />

touching the touch screen.<br />

This work is also used to promote the welding automation and adopt new technologies to realize green welding<br />

and eliminate occupational hazards <strong>of</strong> welding to the operator. It has been emphasized that the application <strong>of</strong> the<br />

developed system is effective for the joining <strong>of</strong> steel pipes and successfully applied to the automobile chassis<br />

frame.<br />
