Abstract :
In this paper, we present a method to dynamically observe two important variables of a Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process, i.e. arc voltage and arc length. To do this, we use Kalman filter to estimate these two variables in a high level noisy environment of GMAW process both in open and closed loop modes.
