METHOD FOR MANAGING WELDING PARAMETERS DURING AN ORBITAL PIPE WELDING AND IMPLEMENTING DEVICE

摘要

The invention concerns a method for managing at least one parameter (V) concerning a pipe welding operation for making a pipeline system, using at least one carriage supporting a head capable of moving along the circumference of the pipes to be welded, each head comprising at least one electrode at the end of which is generated an electric arc to melt at least one filler metal, said at least one parameter being variable during the welding operation due to the influence of gravity. The method is characterized in that it consists in causing the set point of said at least one parameter to be modified in accordance with a continuous function including a series of constant and/or linear segments based on the angular position of the electrode and/or linear based on time.
