Abstract: An example welding system includes a power supply configured to output welding power; a weld parameter feedback sensor configured to produce a weld feedback parameter corresponding to an actual weld condition during welding; and a welding program comprising: a first weld having first weld parameters; a second weld having second weld parameters, wherein the second weld follows the first weld; a controller configured to, in response to selection of the weld program for performing a welding job on a part: control the power supply to provide the welding power to a first weld operation based the first weld parameters; monitor first feedback from the power supply; control the power supply to provide the welding power to a second weld operation based the second weld parameters; monitor second feedback from the power supply; and determine whether at least one of the welding job or the part is acceptable.

Abstract: A welding system including an arc monitoring, training, and control system is disclosed. The welding system includes a power supply, controller, and associated memory. When a weld is performed, the weld command and weld feedback parameters can be stored in the memory, along with associated alarm limit values. During subsequent welds, the input weld commands and actual feedback values can be compared to the established limits, and a fault signal provided to an operator or supervisor when the value exceeds the established limits. The fault signals can be used for training operators, as well as providing monitoring signals, and can be stored with weld data in a database for later analysis. In addition, collected weld data can be used to determine when to clean, repair, or replace consumables, including, for example, contact tips, wire drive liners, and drive rolls, and to monitor usage of wire and gas.
