The camera leverages SWIR technology to monitor the weld through smoke and spatter, effectively reducing arc interference to visualize thermal dynamics. This thermal data is essential for monitoring and identifying abnormal cooling patterns in welding applications, such as additive manufacturing, where multi-dimensional thermal monitoring of the weld is ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure simple robotic welding cell implementation, the MeltView® HT25 utilizes a compact, single camera body that connects directly to a MeltView® DAQ camera controller. This streamlined design eliminates the need for auxiliary accessories during setup. To provide high-resolution, real-time monitoring and recording, the system utilizes a standard Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interface for low-latency connectivity and is fully GenICam compliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenICam Compliant:\u003c\/strong\u003e The HT25 camera is GenICam compliant, meaning it can interface with MeltTools’ AI Edgewise or with a customer-developed AI software system that uses this universal programming standard for machine vision and industrial cameras.
