Developed countries are more focused to bring automation in every sector of production. In certain time
the welding process is rapidly takes a place in automation. This has immensely helped them in reducing production
time, wastage of material, etc. Automation in welding provides accuracy, quality as well as requires less time and man
power. It is needed to enhance the old machineries by automating them in order to get more benefits. In manual
TIG/MIG welding process the production rate is less & due to the non-uniformity in the linear motion, the accuracy
and quality of welding gets adversely affected. That’s why we are going to implement a corner welding machine in
which the linear welding can be done at different angle. We put automation in linear motion and the angular motion
in welding torch. We can adjust the height and rotary motion by manually. In case of this mechanism, the motion is
uniform while welding & it helps to avoid the pits and bulges forming due to an-uniformity in the movement of
welder’s hand.
