Abstract
The present disclosure provides apparatus for mounting a welding torch on a robotic arm comprising a mounting body having a torch connector thereon for holding the welding torch and an arm connector for coupling the mounting body to the robotic arm, and one or more cameras integrated into the mounting body and configured to capture images of an active welding area at a lower end of the welding torch from two or more angles for generating a three dimensional view of a weld seam.

Apparatus for mounting a welding torch on a robotic arm, the apparatus comprising:
- a mounting body having a torch connector thereon for holding the welding torch and an arm connector for coupling the mounting body to the robotic arm;
- and
- one or more cameras integrated into the mounting body and configured to capture images of an active welding area at a lower end of the welding torch from two or more angles for generating a three dimensional view showing the size and shape of a weld pool during a welding operation and the position of the weld pool relative to a weld seam.
