Welding:
TROUBLESHOOTING ROBOTIC & AUTOMATIC WELDING SYSTEMS
(WWT 200)
Course Description
Designed for Skilled Trades workers, this course will provide participants with the skills
necessary to troubleshoot robotic and automatic welding systems. This course is intended
to improve welding efficiency and product quality. Emphasis will be placed on gathering
information required for identifying weld quality problems, locating the root cause of the
problem, and making the necessary repairs or adjustments to the welding system.
Learning Outcome
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
1. describe the safety requirements specific to welding and cutting operations that use
high-speed automated welding equipment;
2. describe the operating characteristics of gas metal arc and flux cored arc welding;
3. describe what welding parameters affect weld quality;
4. describe how welding fixtures and tooling can affect weld quality;
5. describe the effect of travel direction and cycle speed on weld penetration and
contour;
6. destructively inspect welds for fusion, penetration, and contour; and
7. use Chrysler welding specifications to determine the capability of a robotic or automatic
welding system to produce quality production welds.
Course Objective
To provide participants with the ability to troubleshoot robotic and other dedicated highspeed
production welding systems.
