Remote Power Supply Parameter Adjustment
A welding system includes power supply configured to provide a welding power output. The welding system also includes a welding helmet having an electronic display and an inertial measurement unit. The electronic display is configured to display a representation of the power supply and to display one or more indications of one or more parameters of the power supply. The inertial measurement unit is configured to detect movement of the welding helmet. The welding system also includes a processing system communicatively coupled to the inertial measurement unit and configured to adjust at least one parameter of the one or more parameters based at least in part on the movement of welding helmet.
Digital display welding mask with long-exposure image capture
Welding cameras, welding helmets, welding masks, and associated display systems are described herein that utilize darkening or attenuating filters in conjunction with long-exposure imaging to capture flicker-free video of a welding process. Example embodiments include one or more of a darkening filter, an image sensor to capture long-exposure images as frames of a video, an optical image stabilization subsystem, a data storage to store video, and an electronic display to display the video. For example, captured images may be displayed on an electronic display within the welding mask without risk of overexposure of ultraviolet radiation to the operator. In some examples, dual electronic displays are used to display different images to each eye of the operator to provide a stereoscopic video feed.
Welding helmet having a filter arrangement
A welding helmet having a filter arrangement is disclosed. The welding helmet is provided with a main filter and at least one auxiliary filter separate from and positioned next to the main filter. The at least one auxiliary filter comprises an electro-optic element adapted to attenuate the transmission of optical radiation incident on the auxiliary filter.
Method of controlling shade of light valve for auto darkening filter
A method of controlling shade of light valve for auto darkening filter includes: controlling the current shade of the light valve at a first shade, continuously detecting a welding arc signal until it is detected; controlling the first shade of the light valve to change to a target shade, and maintaining the target shade for welding work until the welding arc signal is interrupted; controlling the light valve to transition from the target shade to the first shade within a time period T.sub.2, wherein at least one intermediate shade is passed during the transition. For the conventional ADF, after the welding arc signal disappears, the control circuit immediately switches the light valve from the target shade to the light state shade. The switch of the light valve from the target shade to the light state shade occurs instantaneously, therefore the user may feel dazzling, causing damage to vision.
WELDING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WITH OPTICAL FUNCTIONAL LAYER AND PANEL CONTROL TECHNOLOGY APPLIED THERETO
The present disclosure relates to a welding protector including an LCD panel. In detail, the present disclosure relates to a welding protector including: a panel unit including a panel for blocking welding light; a first functional member arranged in a front surface direction of the panel; and a second functional member arranged in a rear surface direction of the panel, wherein at least two coating layers arranged on at least one of spaces between the front portion of the first functional member and the rear portion of the second functional member are deposited.
Protective headwear with airflow
In one aspect, a protective headwear is provided and includes a headgear, an outer shell, a duct and a manifold. The headgear is configured to engage a wearer's head and at least partially support the protective headwear on a wearer's head. The headgear includes a front, a rear opposite the front, a right side, and a left side opposite the right side. The outer shell is coupled to the headgear at a coupling location and includes a shield positioned to the front of the headgear. The duct is at least partially coupled to and at least partially positioned in an interior of the outer shell. The duct is located below the coupling location. The manifold is positioned to the rear of the headgear and configured to divert airflow into at least a first portion of airflow and a second portion of airflow
Automatic darkening filter with simplified set-up
The present disclosure relates to an automatic darkening filter 20 which is suitable for darkening for protection from light, in particular from high intensity light, with a simplified set-up, as well as to a set-up device 40 for setting up parameters of a such filter 20. The present disclosure also relates to a system 100, 100′ comprising such an automatic darkening filter 20 and such a set-up device 40, in particular a welding device 110. The present disclosure furthermore relates to a method for setting up such an automatic darkening filter 20 as well as to a headgear 10 with such an automatic darkening filter 20 and to a welding device 110 with such a set-up device 40.
SENSOR ASSISTED HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAYS FOR WELDING
Sensor assisted head mounted displays for welding are disclosed. Disclosed example head mounted devices include an optical sensor, an augmented reality controller, a graphics processing unit, and a semi-transparent display. The optical sensor collects an image of a weld environment. The augmented reality controller determines a simulated object to be presented in a field of view, a position in the field of view, and a perspective of the simulated object in the field of view. The graphics processing unit renders the simulated object based on the perspective to represent the simulated object being present in the field of view and in the weld environment. The display presents the rendered simulated object within the field of view based on the position. At least a portion of the weld environment is observable through the display and the lens when the display is presenting the rendered simulated object.
WELDING HELMET
A welding helmet includes at least one helmet shell, fixing elements, a glare shield device and at least one protective screen spaced therefrom, and at least one display device for presenting data in the field of view of a welder, the at least one display device being arranged in the edge region of the field of view in the intermediate space between the glare shield device and the protective screen. The glare shield device has at least one cut-out in the area of the at least one display device. Because there is no glare shield device in the region of the display device, the view of the display device is not impeded by the glare shield device.
