The SeamMonitor™ combines a High Dynamic Range (HDR) weld camera that can clearly capture the torch, weld arc, and surrounding environment with powerful machine vision measurement software that enables real-time monitoring of the weld seam size, torch tip location, and relative offset between the torch tip and its seam. The SeamMonitor™ provides a system solution for use on TIG tube mills providing warning and error alerts on key measurements to operators or external equipment for process control.  The system includes data analysis tools and onscreen graphing of key measurements that can be sent to external equipment using OPC, analog or digital interfaces.
