Abstract
In view of the increasing number and diversity of the types of welding equipment and higher requirements to its quality, practical implementation of the requirements of GOST 25616-83 in production testing involves a considerable material consumption and time. A variant of forecasting the technological properties of welding equipment is proposed, which is based on the results of electric testing, using a variable resistive load. Various variants of applying the hardware, program and algorithmic elements of the systems of in-process control of welding equipment parameters are considered
Keywords: welding, welding equipment, system testing, fuzzy logic, simulation mode, linguistic variables
