However, the following terms and definitions are included below to accommodate usage specific to this document.
inspection. Examination or measurement to verify whether an item or activity conforms to specified requirements. inspector. A person who performs an inspection or exam function to verify conformance to specific requirements.
qualification. Verification by testing of the characteristics or abilities gained through training, experience, or both that enables individuals to perform certain functions.
robotic arc welding operator. The person designated to start, monitor, and stop the intended productive operation of a robot or robot system. An operator may also interface with a robot for productive purposes.
robotic arc welding personnel. Individuals who may be robotic operators. technicians, engineers or maintenance support personnel for robotic arc welding applications.
robotic arc welding personnel qualification. The verification of robotic arc welding personnel’s ability to meet prescribed standards for performance qualification.
verification. The act of reviewing. inspecting, testing, checking. auditing, or otherwise determining and documenting whether items. processes. services, or documents conform to specified requirements.
4. Specifications for Qualification of Robotic Arc Welding Personnel
Tables I through 3 provide the specifications for the qualification of robotic arc welding personnel at the three levels designated by this standard. Table I lists the skill requirements, experience and educational requirements. and training recommendations for a Robotic Arc Welding Operator—Level I applicant. Table 2 lists skill requirements, experience and educational requirements. and training recommendations for a Robotic Arc Welding Technician—Level 2 applicant. Table 3 lists skill requirements, experience and educational requirements. and training recommendations for a Robotic Arc Welding Engineer—Level 3 applicant.
To qualify at a specific Level, one shall demonstrate the ability to complete the required performance objectives for that Level. Table 4 summarizes the requirements and at which level(s) they apply.
The components for the specimen used to conduct the performance welding test shall be of the dimensions and layout shown in Figure 1. Assembly of the components of the test specimen shall be as shown in Figure 2.
This third edition changes the levels of qualification to Level I —Certified Robotic and Automated Welding Operator
(CRAW-O), Level 2—Certified Robotic and Automated Welding Technician (CRAW-T), and Level 3—Certified
Robotic and Automated Welding Engineer (CRAW-E) from the second edition’s qualification designations of Level 1— CRAW-LI, Level 2—CRAW-O, and Level 3—CRAW-T. Those certified under the second edition certification level
designations shall be grandfathered into the corresponding third edition level designation.AWS D16.4M pdf download.
