<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the enlargement of a gap caused by thermal influence causing this gap to the unevenness of a straight line degree on the edge surfaces of blanks when both blanks to be welded are abutted on a surface board. <P>SOLUTION: An inspection head (CCD camera) 9 is moved together with a laser beam welding head 8 at the initial stage on a lot production of the tailored blanks to observe the size of the gap at the welding parts (abutting parts Q). Cooling water temperature for water cooling system center block 4, at where both blanks B1, B2 are to be abutted, is controlled with a feedback according to the size of the gap by calculating the optimum cooling water temperature based on data read into a control unit 27 from a picture processing device 26 and giving a command into a chiller unit 23. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
