Abstract
A method for monitoring a spatter generating event during a welding application. The method includes capturing data that corresponds to a welding current of the welding application. The method also includes detecting parameters associated with a short circuit from the captured data. The method includes analyzing the detected parameters to monitor the spatter generating event during the welding application.
Claims30
A system comprising:
- a welding power supply configured to provide a welding power output for use in a welding application;
- and
- a weld monitoring system configured to capture data relating to the welding application, to detect a parameter relating to a short circuit from the captured data, and to analyze the parameter relating to the short circuit to monitor a spatter generating event during the welding application.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
