Health assessment of welding by-products in a linear welding automation: Temperature and smoke concentration measurements

Abstract

Due to its potential to improve production and weld quality, automated welding systems are growing in popularity in industrial applications. However, these technologies generate potentially dangerous by-products like welding gases and fumes. By evaluating the temperature range and smoke concentration near the welding area, this study intends to assess the health parameters of welding by-products in linear welding automation. A four-wheeled robot system equipped with joint detection and referencing technologies will be the research subject, which will also improve welding conditions to match industrial standards. Also, the study will look into how welding factors affect smoke concentration and temperature range. The findings of this study will shed light on the health risks posed by automated welding systems and guide the creation of safety regulations that will shield workers from hazardous consequences.
