process triggered / process controlled spot welding

This one is tricky.
The definition of 'gesteuert & geregelt' is usually 'sequencing & control' (open loop & closed loop control).

In your context, spot welding has been changed from a method that is simply triggered/operated by the process (there is no feedback from the welding equipment to say whether the spot weld was successful).
The new method is controlled by the process, i.e. there is some kind of feedback from the welding equipment to the process.

I would hesitate to use \'open-loop control\' in this case.
Peer comment(s):

agree Oliver Walter : I think your distinction between Steuerung and Regelung is correct: a (feedback) control loop is a Regelkreis; Langenscheidt gives "open loop" as a possible translation of Steuerkreis.

Thanks.
agree invguy : Precisely. In process-controlled spot welding, feedback may base on electrode displacement, voltage, dynamic resistance measurement, to name a few; I vaguely remember something about acoustic methods, too... etc.

Thanks for the details ;-)

spot welding under open-loop process control

... closed-loop process control

These are also known as P and PI (for proportional and proportional integration) control systems

... require that the conventional open-loop spot welding process be replaced with innovative closed loop spot welding.

Might be how I would phrase it.

Forgot to give you a reference:

However, there are lots of them around if you look under control systems.
