A vertical-position welding is generally defined as a weld that is applied to a vertical surface or one that is inclined 45 degrees or less. Arc welding on a vertical surface is much more difficult than welding in the flat or horizontal position due to the force of gravity which caused to welding faults. Furthermore, welding faults will effect decreasing the quality of the weld. Until now, arc welding process has been employed to an off-line method to detect welding fault. Also, it is quite difficult to increase the productivity as well as to reduce the production cost. To solve those problems, optimal algorithm for on-line monitoring system which based on Mahalanobis Distance (MD) method was proposed in this study. First, three different setting of Contact Tip to Working Distance (CTWD) were chosen 15, 20 and 25mm and found the optimal CTWD for automatic welding process. It was confirmed that MD verification based on optimized CTWD could be achieved the good welding quality and bead geometries which satisfied American Welding Association (AWS) standard.
