The paper presents one of the methods of construction of operating modes controllers for mechanized arc welding equipment with arc voltage feedback. It is shown that semi-automatic welding machines, operated for a long time, can be upgraded at minimum engineering and hardware costs. This allows improving the welder's labour conditions and welded joint quality.
