Welding - Acceptance inspection of electron beam welding machines - Part 6: Measurement of stability of spot position (ISO 14744-6:2000)

This standard is intended for use when the stability of the spot stability of welding machines complying with prEN ISO 14744-1 is to be measured in connection with an acceptance inspection. It provides essential information to the procedure and apparatus to be used for making the measurements. The stability of the spot position is a particularly significant parameter for prolonged welding applications and for electron beam welding with automatic devices positioning the workpiece.

Schweißen - Abnahmeprüfung von Elektronenstrahl-Schweißmaschinen - Teil 6: Messen der Flecklagekonstanz (ISO 14744-6:2000)

Diese Norm ist für das Messen der Flecklagekonstanz bei Abnahmeprüfungen von Elektronenstrahl-Schweißmaschinen nach prEN ISO 14744-1 anzuwenden. Sie enthält wesentliche Informationen zum Verfahren und zu Geräten für die Durchführung der Messungen. Die Flecklagekonstanz ist eine Einflußgröße, die vor allem bei langen Schweißzeiten sowie bei Elektronenstrahlschweißungen mit automatischer Bewegung zur Schweißpositionierung von besonderer Bedeutung ist.

Soudage - Essais de réception des machines de soudage par faisceau d'électrons - Partie 6: Mesure de la stabilité de la position de la tache focale (ISO 14744-6:2000)

La présente norme internationale a pour but d'être utilisée lorsque la stabilité de la position de la tache focale de machines de soudage par faisceau d'électrons en conformité avec l'ISO 14744-1 est à mesurer dans le cadre d'essais de réception. Elle fournit des informations essentielles sur le mode opératoire et les appareillages à utiliser pour réaliser de telles mesures.  La stabilité de la position de la tache focale est un paramètre particulièrement important pour les opérations de soudage de longue durée et pour le soudage par faisceau d'électrons avec utilisation de dispositifs de positionnement automatique de la pièce à souder. Dans de telles applications, la machine de soudage doit être capable de reproduire un alignement donné du faisceau par rapport au joint pendant de longues périodes et sans nécessiter de correction de la position. L'objet de la mesure est de vérifier si, et dans quelle mesure, le faisceau d'électrons généré par une machine de soudage est maintenu dans la gamme des écarts limites spécifiés pour la tache focale.

Overview

EN ISO 14744-6:2000 - Welding - Acceptance inspection of electron beam welding machines - Part 6: Measurement of stability of spot position (ISO 14744-6:2000) defines how to measure the stability of the electron-beam spot position during acceptance inspection of EB welding machines. The standard specifies the essential information on the procedure and apparatus to be used for these measurements and is intended for machines complying with prEN ISO 14744-1. Stability of the spot position is a critical performance parameter for prolonged welding and for electron beam welding with automatic workpiece positioning.

Key topics and requirements

  • Purpose and scope: Describes use during acceptance inspection to confirm spot-position stability on electron beam welding machines.
  • Measurement focus: Concentrates on the stability of the electron beam spot (focal spot) position over time and under operating conditions.
  • Procedure and apparatus guidance: Provides essential information about the types of measurement arrangements and general procedural steps required to obtain meaningful, repeatable stability data.
  • Relation to acceptance testing: Intended to be applied when verifying compliance with the requirements set out in prEN ISO 14744-1 for EB welding equipment.
  • Performance relevance: Emphasizes the importance of spot-position stability for extended welding runs and automated welding systems where positional accuracy directly affects weld quality.

(Note: the standard provides procedural and apparatus guidance; it does not replace machine-specific commissioning procedures or manufacturer documentation.)

Applications

  • Commissioning and acceptance testing of new electron beam welding machines.
  • Factory acceptance tests (FAT) and site acceptance tests (SAT) for EB welders.
  • Quality assurance for automated electron beam welding lines where positional drift can cause defects.
  • Periodic verification and maintenance checks to detect degradation of beam positioning systems.
  • Support for procurement and contract acceptance criteria where measurable spot stability is required.

Who uses this standard

  • Welding engineers and QA/QC inspectors performing acceptance inspections.
  • Machine manufacturers and integrators validating machine performance.
  • Maintenance teams responsible for calibration and long-term stability.
  • Certification bodies and test laboratories conducting compliance testing.
  • Procurement and project managers specifying acceptance criteria for EB welding equipment.

Related standards

  • prEN ISO 14744-1 (requirements for electron beam welding machines) - to be used in conjunction with EN ISO 14744-6:2000.
  • Other parts of the ISO 14744 series addressing acceptance tests and performance criteria for EB welding equipment.
