摘要: We describe a closed-loop control system ensuring full penetration in welding by controlling the focus position and power of 4-kW Nd:YAG laser. A monitoring was developed based on chromatic aberration focusing optics. With laser we can determine degree analyzing keyhole image intensity profile. demonstrate performance bead-on-plate Inconel 718 titanium. The maintained focal tilted nonflat workpieces, technique successfully controlled to maintain full-penetration regime presence linear step changes thickness. Finally discuss performances limits systems when applied realistic complex aerospace component.
