Abstract

To provide a wire aiming position control method and position control apparatus capable of accurately feeding a welding wire to an aiming position of a welded member regardless of a change in an amount of twisting the wire and to provide a wire aiming position control method and position control apparatus capable of accurately ensuring an aiming position of a torch and capable of ensuring stable welding quality even in thin plate welding, an intersection K1 of a linear line L1 connecting a center of a tip 10 and a wire front end and an extension plane L2 including an imaginary aiming position K disposed at a predetermined position is calculated. A wire displacement C constituting a distance between the intersection K1 and the imaginary aiming position K is calculated. At least either one of a welding wire W and a welded member 14 is corrected along the extension plane L2 by an amount of the wire displacement C. The imaginary aiming position K is determined at a front end position of a calibrating needle mounted to a torch 9.
