General ® • Why controlling a welding process by means of the WeldWatcher ? - The laser power is adjusted and monitored by the laser controller. - The control of the laser power is not influenced regardless whether the laser beam is coupled into the work piece or whether the cover glass is contaminated or defect. ® - The WeldWatcher evaluates the energy entered into the material. 2. Measuring principle • During the welding process the melting and evaporation of the metal create a characteristic process radiation. • The process radiation conducted back through the optical fibre is decoupled, optically filtered and transformed into an electrical signal by means of a sensor. • This signal level is proportional to the radiation capacity of the process radiation. • Transmitted to the WeldWatcher the software automatically evaluates the signal. • The quality of the current signal is evaluated on the basis of previously generated reference values by means of the enveloping curve technique. • The result of evaluation is displayed on the screen and transmitted to the PLC by a standardised bus system. 3. Hardware • Sensor • Sensor cable • Computer •
