Abstract
Similar to laser welding, optical coherence tomography (OCT) simplifies the operation of robot-guided, automated GMA welding by offering seam tracking capabilities thanks to its industry-approved, standardized functions and fieldbus communication. Furthermore, OCT can monitor the quality of weld seam online by measuring the seam topography during GMA welding, eliminating the need for time-consuming and costly off-line weld inspection.
