Abstract
A welding system includes power supply configured to provide a welding power output. The welding system also includes a welding helmet having an electronic display and an inertial measurement unit. The electronic display is configured to display a representation of the power supply and to display one or more indications of one or more parameters of the power supply. The inertial measurement unit is configured to detect movement of the welding helmet. The welding system also includes a processing system communicatively coupled to the inertial measurement unit and configured to adjust at least one parameter of the one or more parameters based at least in part on the movement of welding helmet.
Claims20
A welding-type system, comprising:
- a helmet comprising:
- an electronic display configured to display a representation of the power supply and to display one or more indications of one or more parameters of a power supply configured to provide a power output suitable for a welding-type process;
- and
- a first inertial measurement unit configured to detect movement of the helmet;
- and
- a processing system communicatively coupled to the first inertial measurement unit and configured to adjust at least one parameter of the one or more parameters based at least in part on the movement of the helmet.
A method comprising:
- displaying a representation of a welding-type power supply including one or more parameters of the welding-type power supply on an electronic display of a helmet;
- receiving a command remote from the welding-type power supply, wherein the command is configured to set a parameter of the one or more parameters of the welding-type power supply;
- and
- adjusting the parameter, at the welding-type power supply, based at least in part on the command.
A welding-type system, comprising:
- a helmet comprising:
- an electronic display configured to display a representation of a welding-type power supply and to display one or more indications of one or more parameter of the welding-type power supply;
- and
- an audible command unit configured to receive audible commands;
- and
- a processing system communicatively coupled to the audible command unit and configured to adjust at least one parameter of the one or more parameters based at least in part on the audible commands.
