  • AUTOMATED WELDING TRANSLATION PLATFORM
    Publication number: 20160193680
    Abstract: An automated welding device comprises a camera, processing circuitry, a welding torch, and an electromechanical subsystem. The camera is operable to capture, using visible and/or infrared wavelengths, a high dynamic range image of one or more workpieces. The processing circuitry is operable to process the image for determination of physical characteristics of the one or more workpieces. The processing circuitry may be operable to generate, during welding of the one or more workpieces by the welding torch, electrical signals which are based on the determined physical characteristics of the one or more workpieces, and which control one or more welding parameters of the automated welding device during the welding of the one or more workpieces. The electromechanical subsystem is operable to convert the electrical signals into the one or more welding parameters of the automated welding device.

  • SYNCHRONIZED IMAGE CAPTURE FOR WELDING MACHINE VISION
    Publication number: 20160193681
    Abstract: An automated welding device comprises a camera, processing circuitry, a welding torch, and an electromechanical subsystem. The camera is operable to capture, using visible and/or infrared wavelengths, an image of one or more workpieces. The processing circuitry is operable to synchronize the capture of the images to times when voltage between the welding torch and the one or more workpiece is below a determined threshold. The processing circuitry is operable to process the images for determination of physical characteristics of the one or more workpieces. The processing circuitry is operable to generate, during welding of the one or more workpieces by the welding torch, electrical signals which are based on the determined physical characteristics of the one or more workpieces, and which control one or more welding parameters of the automated welding device during the welding of the one or more workpieces.
