Weld Schedule

Basics

• Essentially a “recipe” for a weld
• Especially relevant in Welding Automation
• So your Surface Preparation , Welding Rods/Wire Used, Gas Used, Volts+Amps etc

Internal Links

• Welding Procedure Specification
  • If I understand correctly this is the formal name for the “welding blueprints” and is the manual welding equivalent of a weld schedule
• Quality Control Paperwork / Quality Control Forms + Traceability is a rabbit hole to go down, and if that information should be separate or on these forms
• I’ll throw some link spam on my page for later digging, AWS / ANSI may have /standards/code requirements for this type of stuff which can guide us, if not though may just need to make our own form
• Open Source Welding Robotic Arm
• Open Source Cartesian Welding Robot
