AN AUTOMATED WELDING PATH PLANNER

The present disclosure regards a welding path planning method for welding a groove of a welding task by a welding machine. The method comprises the steps of determining dimensional properties of the groove at a plurality of positions along the groove, for each of said positions along the groove, computing at least one intermediate welding path solution based on said dimensional properties, thereby obtaining a plurality of intermediate welding path solutions, and generating at least one complete welding path solution for welding the entire groove based on the plurality of intermediate welding path solutions.
