Purpose: The demand to increase productivity and quality, the shortage of skilled labour and strict health and safety requirements finally led to the development of the robotic welding process to deal with many problems of the welded fabrication. Many techniques were developed to control process parameters to get the optimal bead geometry during welding process by minimizes their magnitude in the affected area. Design/methodology/approach: The development of thermo mechanical mechanism in some techniques is not fully understood. To solve this problem, we have carried out the sequential experiment based on a Taguchi method and identified the various problems that result from the robotic GMA welding process. Findings: To characterize the GMA welding process and establish guidelines for the most effective joint design. Also using multiple regression analysis with the help of a standard statistical package program, SPSS, on an IBM-compatible PC, a quadratic model has been developed for on-line control which studies the influence of process parameters on bead height and compares their influences on the bead height to see which one of process parameters is most affecting. Originality/value: This model developed has been employed the prediction of optimal process parameters and assisted in the generation of process control algorithms.
