Abstract
A metal fabrication system includes one or more sensors configured to transmit a first signal relating to a first condition of an environment of the metal fabrication system, processing circuitry coupled to the one or more sensors, and a feedback device coupled to the processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to determine the first condition of the environment based at least in part on the first signal and to compare the first condition to a first threshold. The feedback device is configured to provide a first notification when the first condition satisfies the first threshold.
Claims20
A metal fabrication system comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to transmit a first signal relating to a first condition of an environment of the metal fabrication system;
- processing circuitry coupled to the one or more sensors, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine the first condition of the environment based at least in part on the first signal and to compare the first condition to a first threshold;
- and
- a feedback device coupled to the processing circuitry, wherein the feedback device is configured to provide a first notification when the first condition satisfies the first threshold.
(canceled)
A method of operating a metal fabrication system, comprising:
- receiving, using processing circuitry, a first signal relating to a first condition of an environment of the metal fabrication system;
- determining, using the processing circuitry, the first condition of the environment based at least in part on the first signal;
- comparing, using the processing circuitry, the first condition to a first threshold;
- and
- providing, using a feedback device, a first notification when the first condition satisfies the first threshold.
A welding monitoring system comprising:
- one or more temperature sensors configured to determine a first temperature of a work piece of the welding monitoring system;
- processing circuitry configured to compare the first temperature to a first temperature threshold;
- and
- a feedback device configured to provide a first notification to an operator of the welding system when the first temperature satisfies the first temperature threshold, wherein the first notification comprises a visual feedback, an audible feedback, a haptic feedback, or any combination thereof.
