The invention relates to a welding assembly for the permanent joining of a first tubular component with a second component along a two- or three-dimensional intersection curve, along which both components contact, comprising a securing assembly for detachably securely joining on a tubular end of the first component facing away from the intersection curve, a manipulator unit mounted directly or indirectly on the securing assembly such that it can pivot about a tube longitudinal axis assigned to the first component. The manipulator unit has a freely positionable manipulator end, with a welding tool attached to the freely positionable manipulator end. The securing assembly comprises a clamping module that can at least partially be introduced into the tubular end of the first component on the end side and in an axial manner. The clamping module is detachably securely to a tube inner wall of the first tubular component, as well as a carrier ring module which is rotatably attached to the clamping module, which axially extends beyond the tubular end of the first tubular component.

An automated multi-pass welding method is provided. An optical measuring instrument measures a welding space to obtain reference geometry information, and then the reference geometry information is inputted into an AI model to obtain control parameters that are used by a welding device and a robotic arm as operation settings to perform welding. The optical measuring instrument measures the welding space after the welding to obtain post-welding geometry information for a computerized control device to generate a classification result. When the computerized control device determines to form a next weld pass based on the classification result, the aforesaid actions are repeated until the computerized control device determines to stop welding.
