Welding Camera is a highly compact and easy-to-use visualization system for the online
monitoring of various welding processes, including MIG, MAG and TIG processes.
Welding Camera contains several unique features in order to enable highest possible image
quality. These features include, among other things, extremely powerful spectral filtering
combined with wavelength-stabilized laser output.
Standard Welding Camera has a fixed working distance (specified upon order), but adjustable
working distance (adjustment range 150 mm … 300 mm) is available as an option.
