A system monitors tube fabricators' weld box on a High Frequency tube mill, measuring and tracking tube position and temperatures as it heats up and forms at the induction coil.

Weld monitoring of a process using a weld camera system can help verify that the best quality welds are being achieved. An important part of effective monitoring of a weld process is to use software that controls the cameras, enables recording and playback, and provides the ability to extract information about the weld image for analysis.

Xiris Automation has recently released a triggering solution to make it much easier to capture images of pulsed welding processes. Normally, 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 Automation Inc. has recently announced the development of the XIR-1800 Thermal Camera System for Additive Manufacturing and critical metal joining processes.

Xiris Automation Inc. has recently announced a new version of its popular WI-2000 Weld Inspection system for tube and pipe manufacturing that now incorporates a Class 2 laser.
