A real-time weld seam tracking system that provides weld path correction for welding automation processes. AI software follows the joint using the weld camera image, so the tracking happens right at the arc while operators can see the weld process as it runs.
The WeldStudio™ Tracker system pairs the Xiris NIR Camera System with machine vision software that incorporates custom AI models trained on your welding process. The system learns the features of the application and uses them to track the root, weld bead, and joint reliably across multiple weld passes.

Benefits
Tracking at the Arc
Measurements are made at the arc, so no offset correction is needed between the measurement position and the electrode.
A Robust Relative Measurement
AI models trained on your process measure torch position and seam position independently in the same image, and report the steering offset between them to your automation.
Suitable for Harsh Environments
NIR HDR imaging with LED illumination tolerates the intense light, fume, and spatter at the torch, with no laser safety considerations and no interference with other laser sensors.
Obstruction Free Imaging
Only the camera sits at the leading edge, so the view of the torch, melt pool, arc, and part stays clear.
Automation Ready
The compact camera and illumination are controlled through Xiris software and integrate into most automated welding equipment.
