The study discusses remote control torch system that is equipped with CO2 double wire reel. The welding machine is 30m away from the wire feeder at the industrial site and the feeder is three to five meters away from the torch. Accordingly, the welders cannot control the current and voltage that meets the welding condition during work when they are working at a place that prevents them from seeing the control panel such as inside a vehicle or tank or at a far work site. They also have no choice but to stop working to change the wire reel when it is completely burned out. Such work suspension resulting from frequent moves to adjust current and voltage as well as replace the wire and subsequent cooling causes welding defects. The study produced a remote control torch equipped with double wire reel by simplifying and streamlining the existing CO2 functions to reduce the troubling issue. The remote control torch equipped with double wire reel and the existing CO2 /MAG welding torch were applied as V-groove butt in the vertical position using 9mm rolled steel for SM50A welding structure. After completion of welding, the condition of welded surface beads went through visual inspection as well as radiographic inspection to analyze the welding quality inside the welded part. The study also evaluated reduction of welding defects, cost saving, the replacing performance against the existing commercial welders and the effect on possible compatibility

In GMAW welding used mostly at the scene of a welding industry, welders can not see control panels in internal welds of vehicles and tanks, and can not adjust the current and voltage properly during the welding, which is caused by distance from the working area. Therefore, welders have to move to control the current and voltage by stopping welding. This, however, can result in the welding defects by momentary cooling. In this research related to the existing GMAW welding methods and the manners with the remote control torch their performances were evaluated by comparing and analyzing the welds of V-type butt using SM50A 6 mm and welding structural rolled steels. As the result of conducting the visual inspection and bending test one by one against the V-type butt welds, the amount of spatter by the remote control torch method showed reducing effects about five times lower and it had a performance that did not affect the weld defects by displaying suitable effects on the bending test of welds. Consequently, the experimental study on the possibility of replacement and compatibility with the existing commercial welder for the remote control torch was performed.
