CMT Droplet Transfer — PoolDrop Cam Short at 480 fps
A quick vertical clip of Cold Metal Transfer welding filmed at 480 fps with the PoolDrop Cam — droplet transfer and the melt pool with arc glare filtered out.
A CMT arc cycles between arc phase and controlled short circuit hundreds of times a second.
This short compresses that into 22 seconds of 480 fps footage: the wire tip dipping into the pool,
each droplet detaching, and the melt pool settling between cycles — the detail level welding engineers
need to sanity-check droplet transfer without a lab setup.
What you see
- Droplet transfer in the CMT cycle, resolved frame by frame at 480 fps.
- The melt pool and wire tip with arc glare filtered out.
- Vertical format — the same footage engineers review on the shop floor.
Captured with Therness
- PoolDrop Cam mounts torch-side and films Full HD up to 480 fps.
- Integrated laser-safe lighting suppresses arc glare without extra optics.
- USB 3.0 into any HeatCore server — visual and thermal in one record.
