In the future research, all kinds of optical, mechanical, electrical technology and welding technology will be organically combined to realize the accuracy and flexibility of welding. The fundamental way to improve the level of welding automation is to transform the traditional welding process equipment with microelectronic technology. It is a current research direction to match NC technology with all kinds of welding machinery and equipment to improve its flexibility level; In addition, the combination of welding robot and expert system to realize automatic path planning, automatic trajectory correction and automatic control of penetration is the focus of the research.

（3）焊 接控制系統(tǒng)的集成是人與技術的集成和焊 接技術與信息技術的集成。集成系統(tǒng)中信息流和物質流是其重要的組成部分，促進其有機地結合，可大大降低信息量和實時控制的要求。注意發(fā)揮人在控制和臨機處理的響應和判斷能力，建立人機圣誕的友好界面，使人和自動系統(tǒng)和諧統(tǒng)一，是集成系統(tǒng)的不可低估的因素。

(3) The integration of welding control system is the integration of human and technology, and the integration of welding technology and information technology. In the integrated system, information flow and material flow are the important parts, which can greatly reduce the amount of information and the requirements of real-time control. Pay attention to give full play to the response and judgment ability of human in control and on-the-spot processing, establish a friendly interface between human and computer, and make human and automatic system harmonious and unified, which is an important factor of integrated system.

（4）提高焊 接電源的可靠性、質量穩(wěn)定性和控制，以及優(yōu)良的動感性，也是著重研究的課題。開發(fā)研制具有調節(jié)電弧運動、送絲和焊槍姿態(tài)，能探測焊縫坡開頭、溫度場、熔池狀態(tài)、熔透情況，適時提供焊 接規(guī)范參數的高性能焊機，并應積極開發(fā)焊 接過程的計算機模擬技術。使焊 接技術由“技藝”向“科學”演變輥實現(xiàn)焊 接自動化的一個重要方面

(4) To improve the reliability, quality stability and control of welding power source, as well as the excellent mobility, is also the focus of research. To develop a high performance welding machine which can adjust the arc movement, wire feeding and welding torch posture, detect the start of weld slope, temperature field, molten pool state and penetration, and timely provide welding specification parameters, and actively develop the computer simulation technology of welding process. It is an important aspect of welding automation to make welding technology evolve from "skill" to "science"
