A series of time-sequenced heat energy data arrays or data stream sets of a weld process region are processed by a weld data array or data stream processing system to produce a heat energy data set output that is related to weld process region features or weld process region heat energy data. The heat energy data set output can be displayed to a system user and modified by system user input to the weld data array or data stream processing system; alternatively, or in combination, the system user output and input, the heat energy data set output, or data produced from the heat energy data set output by the weld data array or data stream processing system, can be transmitted to a weld process controller to adjust parameters in the weld process responsive to the output of the weld data array or data stream processing system.

With a roller head (10) of a resistance seam welding machine, which roller head has a stator (12) and a rotor (14), the bearing outer housing (18, 18) is cooled by means of channels (2, 2) provided in its interior. This increases the life of the roller head.

A method of monitoring a manufacturing status of an electric resistance welded pipe manufactured by shaping a steel strip into a pipe and butt welding both end parts of the steel strip in a width direction along a lengthwise direction includes: arranging an imaging unit in a gas shield nozzle having an opening opposing a region in which both of the end parts of the steel strip in the width direction are butt welded and shielding the region with inert gas by ejecting the inert gas onto the region through the opening, the imaging unit having a visual filed including the region; and determining quality of a butt-welded part based on an image shot by the imaging unit.
