Xiris Weld Camera Enhancements

Each type of welding has a unique sound and often times that sound can signify quality issues. However, with mechanized and automated equipment, the welding is often done far from the operator, and that sound cannot be heard.

These situations are where the Xiris WeldMic™ can give operators the sound necessary to help monitor and control the arc stability and even predict when wire feeding issues are about to happen.

When using a weld camera to acquire images of a pulsed waveform, the amount of light present in the image will vary considerably as the amperage varies and the arc flashes, making consistent processing monitoring more difficult.

Xiris’ Camera Trigger Kit can be used to create an electrical trigger signal generated by the welding power supply and sent to a weld camera to acquire a more consistent image of the weld process. This easy-to-integrate product is compatible with any Xiris weld camera and can be quickly installed on any welder to provide a simple, robust setup for the user to control image timing using the WeldStudio™ software.

The Xiris CellView camera provides a wide-angle view of both automated or manual welding cells to provide an overall view of the manufacturing process during set-up for welding or non-welding processes.

This allows welders and supervisors to remotely monitor the status and improve productivity of each welding cell. The CellView camera, when used in combination with Xiris open-arc weld monitoring cameras, can be particularly useful for remote welder instruction, supervision and training.

Optimized for use with Xiris weld cameras, the Xiris HMI/Controller and Fanless PC provide manufacturers with ruggedized, high-performance computers for heavy image processing, recording, and integration with automation processes.
