摘要： Autonomous oxy-gas cutting of a metal substrate or surface along a cutting path employs vision feedback from camera based images of a predetermined, marked cutting path. The method for metal cutting according to the predetermined path includes identifying the path on a substrate for cutting, and computing a set of points based on iterative intervals along the path. A controller disposes a cutting torch based on a tangent to the path at each point in the set of points. The controller iteratively advances the torch based on successive points in the set of points for a complete traversal of the path. Cutting torch control involves moving an oxy-gas cutting jet along the cutting path on a metal surface for an efficient and complete cut. While traversing the cutting path, the controller regulates the surface heat pool quality by moving the torch tip at an appropriate velocity.
