Details
The Visible Welding® WeldWatch® Weld Camera Kit is designed to enhance weld training and quality assurance for live arc weld viewing. The WeldWatch® uses an ultra-dynamic range (UDR) 3x zoom camera inside a rugged housing and powerful computing software to produce a clear image of live welding. The welding torch/tip, base metal, grove, and puddle appear on any HD monitor or screen, ensuring proper technique, angles, alignment, and torch/part speed. The camera is used in industries such as welding/fabrication, general manufacturing, and welding education.
Beyond live weld viewing, an operator can easily record video and still images for analysis, email, or archiving making this system suitable for remote welding inspections. With a UDR of over 10,000,000:1, the camera captures the welding process and part without filters.
The UDR feature of the camera is the key to producing clear and useful welding images. A welding arc can be a million times brighter than the surrounding metal, far exceeding high-end industrial and specialty cameras' capabilities. The Visible Welding® WeldWatch® HD reaches UDR levels by combining the camera's high dynamic range log sensor with powerful digital signal computer processing. Together they produce dynamic live welding images making the Visible Welding® WeldWatch® Weld Camera Kit an essential welding education and quality assurance tool.
