Abstract
Embodiments of a the present disclosure include a remote control system for a welding system having a control device and control circuitry configured to select a first operating parameter adjustment for a first operating parameter of the welding system based on a first actuation of the control device, wherein the first operating parameter adjustment comprises an adjustment to a rate of change of the first operating parameter.
Claims20
A remote control system for a welding system, comprising:
- a control device, wherein:
- the control device is configured for coupling to a welding torch, and
- the control device is configured for supporting controlling multiple operating parameters of the welding system based on user interactions relative to multiple axes of the control device, wherein user interaction along each of the multiple axes adjusts or controls a different function and/or a welding operating parameter;
- control circuitry configured to:
- identify a first interaction of the control device;
- identify one or more characteristics of the first interaction relative to one or more of the multiple axes of the control device;
- and
- select based on the one or more characteristics of the first interaction a first parameter adjustment for a first operating parameter of the welding system,
- wherein the first parameter adjustment comprises a first adjustment to the first operating parameter and a second adjustment to a rate of change of the first operating parameter.
