Column and Boom manipulators benefit from a welding camera to keep the operator safely on the ground.

Practice social distancing in the welding classroom with the APEX2 welding camera.

For real-time monitoring, the key question is, what is the top frame rate that the human visual system can perceive? For recording and playback, the key question is, how fast are the welding events that you want to observe happening?

MeltView LUCI viewing software makes it easy to display live welding and record, playback and export welding videos.

A major automotive supplier uses the MeltView SYNC high-speed camera for welding process development.

The MeltView DART camera automatically adjusts between welding and non-welding to provide a clear image, as shown in this video of short circuit GMAW.

The SYNC camera mounts to the welding torch to capture the welding process continually at high speeds, up to 1300 frames per second as shown here.

The MeltView PACT welding camera mounts directly to a manual welding torch and displays a close-up view of the weld for the training of welders.

With the APEX2, instructors can show students what they see in real-time on a big screen and record video for playback.

TIG Welding || Fabricating 600mm (63 inch) diameter, 9mm (3/8 inch) thick stainless steel pipe for transporting drinking water.

Display a real-time, close-up, in-focus video of your manual welding process for as long as you weld.

MeltTools Sync welding camera shows manual fillet welding using GMAW and FCAW processes in spray and short circuit mode.

At over 300 frames per second, these features start to become visible, and the SYNC can record video continuously at up to 1200 fps to capture most welding phenomena in great detail.

The MeltView MIRA camera provides a clear view of the tube welding process with no image processing and no lag.

The MeltView MIRA2 with LUCI software makes it easy to switch among inspection, background and puddle views during welding.

Defects in the alloy layer defeat the purpose of cladding and result in costly scrap, re-work or even failure of the component in the field. Monitoring the overlay process is difficult due to geometry and high temperatures.

Micro welding processes call for optical magnification and high resolution cameras due to the fine scale of the weldments. The welding camera should provide an excellent image during both welding and non-welding.

For real-time monitoring, the key question is, what is the top frame rate that the human visual system can perceive? For recording and playback, the key question is, how fast are the welding events that you want to observe happening?

While high frame rate welding cameras produce amazing images of welding, they generate huge amounts of data, and pose two additional hurdles: limited on-board recording space and camera bulk too large to fit on a welding robots.
