Abstract

This paper investigates the potential of airborne sound analysis in the human hearing range for automatic defect classification in the arc welding process. We propose a novel sensor setup using microphones and perform several recording sessions under different process conditions. The proposed quality monitoring method using convolutional neural networks achieves 80.5% accuracy in detecting deviations in the arc welding process. This confirms the suitability of airborne analysis and leaves room for improvement in future work.
