Abstract
A system and device for welding training. In one example, a welding training system includes a display configured to show welding features related to a training welding operation. The system also includes a training workpiece having a substantially transparent weld joint configured to be placed adjacent to the display during the training welding operation. The system includes a processing device coupled to the display and configured to provide welding data relating to the training welding operation to the display. The system also includes a training torch comprising an optical sensor. The training torch is coupled to the processing device and configured to provide the processing device with data from the optical sensor corresponding to a position of the training torch relative to the training workpiece.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a display configured to show welding features related to a training welding operation;
- a training workpiece comprising a substantially transparent weld joint configured to be placed adjacent to the display during the training welding operation such that a portion of the display is visible by looking through the substantially transparent weld joint;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the display and configured to provide welding data relating to the training welding operation to the display.
A system comprising:
- a display configured to show welding features related to a training welding operation;
- and
- a training workpiece comprising a substantially transparent weld joint configured to be placed adjacent to the display during the training welding operation such that a portion of the display is visible by looking through the substantially transparent weld joint.
The system of 15, wherein the optical sensor comprises a camera configured to receive image data corresponding to the training workpiece, wherein the camera is configured to alter a camera focus based on a distance between the camera and the training workpiece.
A system comprising:
- a display configured to show welding features related to a training welding operation;
- and a training workpiece comprising a substantially transparent weld joint configured to be placed adjacent to the display during the training welding operation such that a portion of the display is visible by looking through the substantially transparent weld joint, wherein the substantially transparent weld joint comprises a pattern configured to be detected by an optical sensor of a training torch, and the optical sensor comprises a camera configured to receive image data corresponding to the training workpiece.
