Welding Cameras for Visualization of Welding Processes

The extremely bright light emitted by the core of the welding process “blinds” not only the eye but also standard camera systems. Special visualization methods are required to achieve appropriate visual monitoring of a welding process.

Welding cameras offered by Cavitar allow users to clearly observe the welding processes as if they were cold. Cavitar’s solutions range from compact, comprehensive, and ready-to-use visualization solutions such as camera and built-in laser illumination and optics through to a highly customizable system, to fulfill specific requirements of customers.

These solutions are relevant to all crucial arc welding processes like TIG, GMAW (MAG and MIG), and also to all significant beam welding processes such as Nd:YAG laser, diode laser, fiber laser, CO₂ laser, and electron beam applications.
