Weld View Cameras
Automatic welding processes require remote monitoring cameras to properly verify equipment set-up, monitor weld quality and alert the operator to other welding issues before they result in production problems.Weld View Cameras
By delivering clear views of the brightest features of a welding torch tip while still being able to see the weld pool and surrounding darker background, the Weld View Cameras can improve weld quality, lower defect rates, improve worker efficiency and the health and safety of welding processes.
Combining sophisticated sensor technology with advanced electronics to provide high contrast, high dynamic range images, the Xiris High Dynamic Range Cameras for Weld Monitoring are perfect for a wide range of applications including MIG, MAG, TIG, Plasma, Laser and Stick welding.
XVC-O Weld View Camera for Open Arc Welding
The XVC-O features a Camera Module with adjustable focus housed in a rugged IP54 rated enclosure able to withstand operating in harsh welding environments. The base package offers a complete robust system, with additional options such as air or liquid cooling, window dedusting, and a variety of console and camera mounts.
The image is displayed on an IP54 rated HMI Console with rich software features that include image recording and playback.
These superior features make the XVC-O the logical OEM Camera system choice for remote assistance in Open Arc welding applications!
Why Consider The XVC-O Weld View Camera?
The Xiris XVC-O Weld View Camera should be a critical component in your welding system, particularly where automation is being used to reduce costs and to significantly increase production efficiencies. In situations where the welding process is precise with tight fabrication tolerances and considerable value of the end product, the XVC-O camera system provides more information through better quality images to assist you in making more meaningful process and quality control decisions.
The Xiris XVC-O Weld View Camera allows the welding process to be viewed remotely (up to 40 m / 130 ft. away), providing real time views of the torch, weld area and material during standard and high power welding conditions.
Key Benefits of the XVC-O
- Clear View of the Weld Tip
- Reduced set up time
- Run time productivity
- Operational productivity
- Health and safety
- Real time verification
- Video recording

XVC-S Weld View Camera for Submerged Arc Welding
The XVC-S provides a real-time view of the weld during the sub arc welding process. Housed in a rugged enclosure designed to withstand the weld environment, it can act as a setup tool to position the welding torch prior to welding or provide a means to adjust the welding position or welding parameters while the weld process is underway.
Increased environmental and competitive pressures continually drive manufacturers to be more productive and meet the quality demands of the market. Out of the box, and affordable, the XVC-S Weld View Camera is able to reduce some of the pressures welding fabricators face today, providing a weld monitoring tool where submerged arc welding is a significant part of the process, such as:
- Pressure Vessels
- Wind Tower
- Light Poles
- Pipe Production
- Oil and Gas Applications
- Nuclear
- Railway
- Shipyards
- Automotive
Increase Productivity by increasing the “arc on time” with less stopping of the process to make adjustments and improve Health & Safety measures by removing the welder from the direct weld area by using the XVC-S Submerged Arc Weld View Camera.
Why Consider The XVC-S Weld View Camera?
The Xiris XVC-S Weld View Camera should be a critical component in your submerged arc welding system, particularly where the automation is being used to reduce costs and to significantly increase production efficiencies.
