This research focuses on three aspects of sensing for                           manufacturing process automation for arc welding:  sensor                       development and the status of sensors for arch welding,                         integration of sensors, and sensor signal processing for process                control.  The plan is three phased:  (1) to perform a                           technological assessment of process sensors for welding                         automation in the areas of weld tracking, arc control and weld                  quality determination and to define limitations of these sensors;               (2) to develop and evaluate sensors which address the identified                limitations.  Improved signal processing techniques, enhancement                of existing sensor designs and new sensor concepts including                    special optical and acoustic emission techniques will be                        employed; and (3) to formulate and evaluate methodology to                      integrate various sensor signals and process parameter                          information for improved weld process control and weld quality                  assessment.
