Abstract
The present invention provides a weld monitoring system and method that monitors and automatically coordinates information on the quality of each weld in a workpiece having one or more welds. In particular, each weld in the workpiece is automatically analyzed at the time it is being made using weld sensors such as those that measure current, wire feed, voltage, and gas flow to produce information on the quality of the weld. Using this information, the welds are sorted, displayed, and logged with workpiece and weld number information which is provided to the operator in real-time and stored in a computer for access at a later time for quality control or other purposes. Therefore, the system and method enables welds of a quality less than a pre-determined quality for the weld to be identified in real-time and information concerning any particular weld to be accessed at a later time.
