Transputers and Sensors for Automated Welding

TIG is a high-quality weld process, finding applications in the aerospace industry and nuclear power plant construction/repair. The welding is often carried out in environments hostile to a manual welder. Quality is difficult to guarantee, therefore it is advantageous to automate this process. The w...
