Abstract:

Systems and methods for using drones in dispersed welding applications are disclosed. In some examples, drones may be used in large and/or dispersed welding environments to quickly navigate the large distances and/or reach areas that might be more difficult for a person to reach. In some examples, the drones may use one or more attached devices to locate, identify, and/or collect information from welding equipment, welding workpieces, and/or welds within a (e.g., large and/or dispersed) welding environment.

Abstract:

Systems and methods to design part weld processes using media libraries are disclosed. An example system to generate weld instructions for display to a weld operator during a welding sequence, the system including: a processor; and a machine readable storage device comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: provide an interface to define a weld program comprising a sequence of weld instructions for display to a weld operator during a weld sequence; in response to an input specifying a location of an object in a media library, defining an element in the weld program based on an identifier of the object in the media library; and generating the weld program by including the identifier of the object in the media library in association with the element.
