Tracking attachments for stick welding technique monitoring systems

Abstract

Some examples of the present disclosure relate to tracking attachments that allow trackable markers to be easily attached to stick electrodes and/or stick electrode holders, thereby removing the need for costly customized/modified stick electrode holders and/or stick electrodes. In some examples, each tracking attachment includes one or more trackable markers that can be detected and/or tracked by a monitoring system. In some examples, the trackable marker(s) of the tracking attachment facilitate tracking and/or monitoring of welding technique by aiding in the tracking/monitoring of the position(s) and/or orientation(s) of the stick electrode and/or stick electrode holder during welding-type operations.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
