Polyview
General Information
The common detail of all PolyView applications is a control panel that combines and standardizes useful commands in order to optimize image adjustment. This control panel is designed to offer ergonomic advantages for users, and is well adapted for welding operations.
The PolyView package includes a standalone, external camera that can be integrated for existing operations, with adaptable liquid-crystal filter technology, adjustable focal length capability, and an integrated cooling system.
Also included is a selection of specific torches with integrated micro cameras, with specialized filters, lighting, and cooling systems. These design details make it possible to monitor narrow gap welding by means of stringer beads, or welding using an oscillating electrode for thicknesses of up to 250 mm, as well as internal welding for diameters of 50 mm.
Each camera in the PolyView system is capable of multiple adaptations according to the specific installation. Generally, Polysoude recommends using two external cameras (one for a front view, a second camera for a rear view.) These modules are equipped with a motor-driven focus and an adjustable liquid crystal filter. This functionality results from a specifically developed technology that allows the operator to intervene during welding to adjust the image according to specific requirements. Each module of the external camera contains an integrated cooling system that protects it from arc radiation.
For welding operations that have limited radial clearance, Polysoude proposes a panel of welding torches equipped with one or two micro cameras (a standard narrow gap torch, a narrow gap torch with an oscillating electrode, and internal welding lances.) All of the functions are well integrated and protected to be compatible with the welding environment. The equipment is cooled in order to be able to resist external temperatures as high as 350°C.
Optical fiber lighting and retractable filters allow for verification of the positioning before welding or the result after a downslope of the arc. Filter positioning is synchronized with the start of the welding sequence. Manually adjustable mechanisms for the focal length are integrated into the body of the torch and are accessible from the exterior in order to facilitate adjustment. “These solutions represent the best compromise in order not to interfere with the gas flow,” according to Polysoude, “and moreover, to have a better viewing angle for monitoring of the impact point of the wire, the electrode integrity and sidewall fusion.
Customized optics make it possible for welding operators or supervisors to optimize the system’s magnification and vision field.
