Process Monitoring Camera
A camera for real-time capture of the weld pool and arc under intense radiation to ensure quality assurance.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action
The process monitoring camera captures a real-time optical image of the weld pool and the arc. It uses special filters to handle high radiation intensities and produce visible images.
Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding
Monitoring the weld pool and arc situation is crucial for weld quality. Poor monitoring can lead to issues like uneven fusion, porosity, or irregular bead shape. The camera helps spot such anomalies early and correct them.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
• Mount the camera in a safe position with a clear view of the weld pool and arc.
• Use special UV or IR filters to handle high radiation intensities.
• Make sure the camera is calibrated regularly to keep it accurate.
• Watch the real-time images constantly and note any deviations or anomalies.
