Camera-Based Welding Monitoring
Camera-based weld monitoring uses special optics with lighting and filters to observe the weld pool in real time. It enables visual quality control and detects potential defects.
Physicochemical Mechanism
Camera-based weld monitoring uses camera optics specially designed for lighting the weld pool. These optics can use different filters to control visible wavelengths and thus show details in the weld pool more clearly.
Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks
This monitoring method helps detect pores, cracks, or uneven melting. Missing or defective monitoring can lead to unknown defects that later cause stability issues in the component.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
To set up effective camera-based weld monitoring, the following steps must be taken:
1. Install a camera with suitable optics and filters at the appropriate position.
2. Adjust the lighting so the weld pool is clearly visible.
3. Use software to analyze monitoring data and detect defects in real time.
