Course Goal / Objective
To provide students with a theoretical understanding of the working principles of all advanced and special welding techniques (Laser, Plasma, Friction Stir, TIG, Submerged Arc, etc.); to build skills in digital parameter optimization and trajectory programming via welding simulators and collaborative robots (cobots) specifically for the MIG/MAG process, and to subsequently transfer this knowledge into practical welding processes in the workshop.
Course Content
This course covers the theoretical operating principles, material-process relationships, and industrial application areas of advanced and special welding techniques (Pulsed/Synergic MIG-MAG, TIG, Laser, Plasma, Friction Stir, Submerged Arc, Resistance, and Electron Beam welding). Following the theoretical modules, digital exercises are conducted on welding simulators focusing on the MIG/MAG method. Subsequently, cobot automation, safety systems, lead-through teaching, and interface programming are taught, leading to cobot-integrated MIG welding applications in the workshop environment. The course concludes with quality control and NDT principles for advanced weld joints.
