Modification of a digital arc sensor designed for a current estimation of the electrode deviation from the axial line of the joint being welded is suggested. The sensitivity of the sensor to some parametric disturbances of the welding process is reduced significantly due to the mounting of an additional digital unit.
Keywords: arc welding, lateral deviation of torch, digital arc sensor, parametric indeterminacy, serviceability
