Design, Construction, Demonstration and Delivery of an Automated Narrow Gap Welding System.

Abstract

The objective of this program is to design, construct, demonstrate, and delivery an automated, Narrow Gap welding system capable of welding high strength steel plates under shipyard production conditions in the construction of aircraft carriers. The program is being conducted in five phases. The objective of Phase 3 was to fabricate and test the prototype Narrow Gap welding system. The welding system was fabricated per the initial preliminary drawings as indicated in the Phase 2 portion of this contract. The unit was assembled and mechanical evaluation was performed.
