Abstract

An expert system for a welding machine has an installed knowledge base concerning weld problems and preferred solutions. Trial welds are made from which input data concerning weld quality is obtained. The expert system applies predetermined rules and historic confidence levels to determine changes in weld parameters to attempt to correct any weld defects.
