Weld Monitoring Video Library

Every Therness weld monitoring clip in one place — grouped by topic. Watch thermal imaging, HeatCore AI weld monitoring, high-speed weld-pool footage, and WAAM additive demos.

Thermal imaging

Thermal imaging of welds

Long-wave infrared footage that reveals heat flow, penetration, and cooling — the basis of thermography-based weld NDT.

Cladding process monitoring with HeatCore

Thermal monitoring of weld overlay cladding — HeatCore tracks dilution, bead temperature, and heat distribution in real time for corrosion-resistant overlays.

Cladding

Real-time thermal imaging in welding: one cladding pass

A thermal camera on the torch follows one robotic cladding pass: the arc strikes, the pool needs 2.9 s to form, then the bead heats and cools.

Thermal

Thermal imaging: weld comparison

Two welds side by side through thermal imaging — can you spot the stronger one?

HeatCore AI

HeatCore AI & weld monitoring

AI scoring on live weld data: bead tracking, cooling-time analysis, and full system demos from real welding cells.

HeatCore AI: seam tracking on a replayed lab weld

The HeatCore AI Tracking panel on the replay of a real lab weld: seam angle, seam width and offset in millimetres from a reference line, frame by frame.

HeatCore

HeatCore AI: weld cooling time analysis

Automatic T8/5, T12/7 and custom interval cooling time analysis from live thermal data — microstructure prediction without thermocouples.

HeatCore

AI welding demo: weld pool and arc detection

In every frame of a live weld the AI finds the weld pool and the arc and shows its confidence score, in 9 seconds.

Demo

MAG weld monitoring

23-second camera view of a robotic MAG weld: the arc and the weld pool during the pass, with a timestamp overlay.

MAG

When a weld goes wrong — the signature of a reject

An unstable arc and an erratic pool that never settles into a clean bead — the visual signature of a weld heading for rejection, the exact pattern real-time monitoring is built to catch.

HeatCore AI

Reading the weld fume plume

The plume rising off the weld carries the fingerprint of a stable — or failing — arc. Its shape and brightness are process signals a monitoring system can read in real time.

Weld pool & high-speed

Weld pool & high-speed camera

The molten weld pool and droplet transfer resolved at up to 480 fps, with arc glare filtered out frame by frame.

Weld pool at 480 fps, thermal image and welding current, recorded during the same bead

Three recordings of the same bead from our robotic R&D cell: PoolDrop films the weld pool at 480 fps, HeatCam records the temperature field at 25 fps and WeldTrace samples the welding current at 25 kHz. Real footage, no generated frames.

PoolDrop

Inside a welding molten pool at 480 fps

The arc strikes and a molten pool forms — metal flowing in real time. As the torch travels, the pool freezes into a clean, rippled weld bead, filmed at 480 fps.

PoolDrop

One pulse, one drop — pulsed arc welding at 480 fps

Each current pulse pinches off a single droplet and drives it across the arc — synchronized spray transfer, stable and almost spatter-free, filmed at 480 fps.

PoolDrop

CMT weld pool solidification at 480fps

Melt pool solidification of a CMT process at 480fps with the PoolDrop camera — see how interval parameters change droplet transfer, bead geometry, and solidification.

PoolDrop

High-speed weld pool & droplet transfer

Ultra-clear droplet transfer dynamics in slow motion up to 480 fps — arc glare filtered out, every detachment and pool oscillation visible.

PoolDrop

Burn-through under a high-speed camera

The exact moment a weld pool collapses on a tee joint — burn-through captured frame by frame, and how real-time monitoring catches the precursor.

HeatCore

CMT welding at 480 fps — every droplet visible

Cold Metal Transfer at 480 fps in landscape: the wire dips into the pool and retracts, releasing one clean droplet per cycle — low heat input, near-zero spatter, arc glare filtered out.

WAAM

WAAM & additive manufacturing

In-situ thermal and AI monitoring for wire-arc additive manufacturing: layer consistency, heat history, and QA scoring.

3D printing with metal — WAAM, layer upon layer

Wire arc additive manufacturing builds solid metal directly from a spool — layer on layer, each weld bead the foundation for the next.

WAAM

Wire-arc deposition with ER70S wire, cell and close-up

A 15-second vertical clip of MAG wire-arc deposition with 1.2 mm ER70S wire: first the torch in the cell, then a close-up camera following the torch and the melt pool along the bead.

WAAM

Carbon steel WAAM thermal imaging

New: carbon steel WAAM wall build with thermal monitoring for layer consistency and process stability.

WAAM

WAAM thermal monitoring

Thermal visualization of WAAM builds, highlighting bead consistency and heat distribution for QA automation.

WAAM

Real-time WAAM monitoring at 480 fps

A WAAM wall filmed from the side with PoolDrop while new layers go down: wire, droplet and melt pool on every pass.
