The MeltView® APEX3 Camera Kit is a comprehensive, industry-leading solution designed specifically to revolutionize welding visualization in the classroom and for remote learning. By allowing instructors to project live welding demonstrations onto a large screen, this kit ensures every student receives a clear, safe, and up-close view of the weld puddle without crowding around a single booth.

The kit’s unique small form factor and dual-lens system give instructors the flexibility to mount the camera directly to the welding torch or set it up on a benchtop. The torch mount takes the guesswork out of capturing a close-up, continuously in-focus image of GTAW and GMAW processes, while the included varifocal lens and bench mount make it easy to capture stick welding (SMAW) or other processes from a safe distance.

Utilizing High-Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging, the APEX3 automatically controls exposure to capture both the welding arc and the surrounding weld pool in high-resolution.

• Full HD Clarity: Delivers real-time (30 fps) Full HD 1920 x 1080 video of the welding process
• Direct-to-Monitor Viewing: Features computerless display capabilities directly to an HDMI monitor for immediate classroom viewing
• Audio and Video Recording: Includes a frame grabber and free, open-source software to easily record or stream the video feed, up to two cameras, alongside arc audio, perfect for building a library of student review materials
