Sensor-Enabled Robotised Plasma Arc Cutting System

The PhD research focuses on developing a sensor-enabled robotised plasma arc cutting system.

The project aims to optimize the plasma cutting systems for weld joint preparation, repairs, and general cutting applications. The current manual and semi-automated techniques, resulting in higher costs and lower productivity.

Ultrasound technology can improve the process by enhancing operational safety, quality control, and production efficiency while digitizing the process.

By deploying ultrasound sensors technology to automate parameter adjustments and ensure precise cuts, the process can be optimized in terms of accuracy, cost, productivity, and complex shape cutting.
