A method of correcting angles of a welding torch positioned by a user while training a robot of a robotic welding system is provided. Weldment depth data of a weldment and a corresponding weld seam is acquired and 3D point cloud data is generated. 3D plane and intersection data is generated from the 3D point cloud data, representing the weldment and weld seam. User-placed 3D torch position and orientation data for a recorded weld point along the weld seam is imported. A torch push angle and a torch work angle are calculated for the recorded weld point, with respect to the weldment and weld seam, based on the user-placed torch position and orientation data and the 3D plane and intersection data. The torch push angle and the torch work angle are corrected for the recorded weld point based on pre-stored ideal angles for the weld seam.
