METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A WELDING APPARATUS AND CORRESPONDING CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed is a method for controlling a welding apparatus (1) or a power source (2), whereby an operator can set different welding parameters, such as welding current, welding rod diameter, welding method, etc. by means of an input and/or output device (22). The set welding parameters are supplied to a control device (4). Subsequently, the welding apparatus (1) or the power source (2) are controlled by the control device (4) according to the pre-set welding parameters. The operator can select a surface or a cross section of a weld seam, especially a fillet weld, before, during and/or after the welding process has been started by means of the input and/or output device (22). The control device (4) interrogates the set values for additional parameters especially stored in a storage device to form the weld seam and/or set or indicated for the welding process.
