Abstract
A welding helmet is capable of providing an image representative of information from an associated welding operation where the image appears in the same focal range as the welding work area.
Claims20
A welding system comprising:
- welding equipment for generating a welding current and voltage
- a welding control system for controlling the welding current and voltage
- a monitoring system for monitoring a welding parameter, and
- a welding helmet including:
- a main body
- a visual display connected to the main body, and
- an information generating mechanism in communication with the monitoring system generating an image representative of information from the monitoring system based upon the monitored welding parameter upon the visual display where the focus of the image is at an associated welding work area;
- whereby a welder may view an image representative of information about a welding operation without removing focus from the work area.
