Development of a five-axis column-and-boom (CAB) submerged arc welding (SAW) system designed for automated welding of rotationally symmetric flanges. For each weld layer, the operator programs process parameters as well as torch position and orientation, after which the system welds the entire layer automatically—supported by straightforward TCP/WCS calibration, built-in restart functionality, and continuous logging of key weld parameters and torch position.
