Abstract:

The analytic hierarchy process （AHP） was presented to realize decision-making of welding positions during the horizontal multipass welding process with T-joints. First， the feature points of the groove were detected with visual sensing technology， and the distances between other feature points and the rightmost one respectively in the X/Y direction were used as factors to build the AHP model. Second， a computational method that integrated welding experience related to angular distortion control was proposed to automatically determine the elements in the comparison matrixes. Finally， the decision-making result of welding positions was conducted using the maximum posteriori weight principle. The experimental results on multiple decision-making processes with the webs of different thicknesses showed that the proposed method owns strong anti-interference ability and the accuracy is over 90%.

Key words: T-joint, analytic hierarchy process, welding position decision, angular distortion control, visual sensing
