Jetview Welding Arc Video Monitoring System

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The JETVIEW VMS Video Monitoring Systems are designed to enhance the operator's view of the welding arc, allowing remote control and monitoring of the weld area. This system is particularly beneficial in mechanized welding, providing a clear, magnified view of the weld area from a remote location.

Features
The system includes a compact camera/lens assembly that can be mounted on the welding torch, providing a constant view of the weld area. It offers a preview of the weld area before welding and a magnified image during the process. Key components include:
  • Camera and Lens Assembly: Available in NTSC or PAL color format, with composite and S-Video outputs. Two models, VMS-1300 and VMS-1600, are designed for different mounting distances from the welding torch.
  • Camera and Lens Control Unit: Allows remote control of the camera and lens, with options for joystick control of motorized components.
  • High-Intensity Halogen Lamp: Provides illumination for the weld zone.
  • Color Monitor: A 14" CRT monitor with options for additional connections and an LCD monitor.
  • Universal Mounting Bracket: Supports camera mounting at specified distances.

Specifications
  • Camera Type: NTSC/PAL format, CCD Color
  • Shutter Speed: 1/60 to 1/10,000 sec
  • Temperature Range: 20° to 140°F (-7° to 60°C)
  • Input Voltage: 12 volts DC
  • Monitor Input Voltage: 115/230V, 1 phase, 50/60Hz

Applications
The system is ideal for large seam welders and circumferential welding applications, where it aids in maintaining the correct torch position and monitoring multiple welds simultaneously. It allows operators to take corrective actions as needed, enhancing the precision and quality of the welding process.

Jetview Welding Arc Video Monitoring System-1

Universal Mounting Bracket Օ High-Intensity Halogen Lamp The bracket is suitable for the mounting of the camera and lens assembly at a distance of 6" to 8" (150 to 200 mm) from the weld. A low voltage, high intensity, halogen lamp is sup- plied for illumination of the weld zone. The lamp is typically mounted to the camera body. Color Monitor The color monitor is a 14" (355 mm) CRT type. Two video inputs and two video outputs allow the connection of a videotape recorder or multiple monitors. An LCD type monitor is available as an option. Օ Camera and Lens Control Unit The remote control unit is designed to be mounted at the operator control station to provide remote control of the camera and lens assembly. In addi- tion to a power switch, it has a set-up light switch and controls to open and close the iris, and to con- trol the focus. The unit has provisions for joysticks to be mounted to control a motorized cross-slide and a motorized wire guide positioner.The VMSC lens controller is a smaller, compact ver-sion to be used where space is restricted. There is not joystick option for this compact model. > VMS-1600/1300 System shown with camera control unit (CCU), camera assembly, and lens control box with optional joysticks > The way in which an operator views the welding arc has changed little over the years. The operator's view is restricted by the welding screen and, to see clearly, he must work in close proximity to the welding arc where conditions are unpleasant and even unhealthy.In mechanized welding however, the opportunity exists to control the arc remotely. All that is needed to complement the remote control of the welding parameters is to bring a clear view of the weld area to the operator at his control station. Jetview systems, designed primarily for welding, can be used for a variety of purposes where a clear, mag- nifi ed view of an area is required at some remote location. The assembly consists of a precision machined, aluminum body which houses the lens and the lens actuators. The unit incorporates an electronic shut- ter CCD micro-camera with a neutral density spot fi lter. Both the high intensity arc and the surrounding weld zone can be viewed at the same time.Two cameras are available: the VMS-1300 is de-signed to be mounted 3 (76 mm) from the weld- ing torch; the VMS-1600 camera is designed to be mounted 6Ԕ (152 mm) from the welding torch and is used where the size of the weld head is not restricted.The camera is available in NTSC or PAL color format with composite and S-Video outputs. This permits the use of a standard videotape recorder for quality assurance or welder training purposes. Camera and Lens Assembly > Because the camera/lens assembly is so compact and lightweight, it is capable of being mounted to the welding torch and thus maintain a constant view of the weld area. The system is designed to provide a preview of the weld area prior to weld- ing and then to provide a clear, magnifi ed image of the weld pool during the weld process. Each system includes the following parts: >
