Automatic welding machines can realize accurate welding work by computer control. However, understanding the welding status during welding operation is mainly conducted with visual inspection. It is expected that the quality of status judgment could be dramatically improved if welding information during operation is acquired by various sensors and the obtained information is displayed to the operator in real time when needed. This study builds a digital model of welding machine which integrates with sensor data. Furthermore, the study prepares a prototype desktop model, which corresponds to an actual welding machine, and enables to visualize welding status information using AR (Augmented Reality) technology.
