4. Specifications for Qualification of Robotic Arc Welding Personnel
Tables I through 3 provide the specifications tir 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. ofle shall demonstrate the ability to complete the required pertiwmance objectives 11w that Level. Table 4 summariies the requirements and at which level(s) they apply.
The components 11w 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 1 —Certified Robotic and Automated Welding Operator
(CRAW-O). Level 2—Certified Robotic and Automated Welding Technician (CRAW-T), and Level 3—Certified
Robotic and Autoniated Welding Engineer (CRAW-E) from the second edition’s qualification designations of Level I — 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/D16.4:2015 pdf free download.
