Abstract;This paper describes a weaving motion control method for arc welding robots. To cancel the periodical disturbance which arises when the robot is in weaving motion, a periodic disturbance observer for the robot controller was developed. With this observer, periodical disturbances could be canceled completely. In addition, a new elastic deformation model that describes dynamic deformation of the robot arm was developed. Using these control methods, weaving motion accuracy was greatly improved. (author abst.)
