Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a device for measuring and collecting oxygen concentration data in welding processes, in particular in shielded arc welding. The device has at least one sensor element for sensing the oxygen concentration of a shielding atmosphere, and further a control unit, which is designed for storing oxygen concentration data during a welding process.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A device for measuring and collecting oxygen concentration data in welding processes, in particular in shielded arc welding, the device having at least one sensor element for sensing the oxygen concentration of a shielding atmosphere, wherein the device has a control unit, which is designed for storing oxygen concentration data during a welding process. 2 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , the at least one sensor element having an optical oxygen sensor. 3 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , the at least one sensor element having a zirconium dioxide sensor. 4 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , the control unit being designed for communicating with the at least one sensor element and the welding apparatus via a data line and/or via a wireless LAN. 5 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , the control unit having an oxygen concentration database, which is designed for recording the oxygen concentration in dependence on a free variable during the welding operation. 6 . The device as claimed in claim 5 , the free variable being the time and/or the coordinates of the weld seam. 7 . The device as claimed in claim 5 , the free variable being a consecutive object number associated with an object to be welded. 8 . The device as claimed in claim 5 , the free variable being freely selectable on the control unit from a predefined multiplicity of variables. 9 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , the control unit being designed for controlling the welding operation in dependence on the oxygen concentration. 10 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , the control unit being designed for evaluating and/or printing the oxygen concentration data. 11 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , the control unit being designed for being programmed by a user, in particular in order to program new variables, closed-loop or open-loop control operations and/or new actual or setpoint values. 12 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , the control unit being designed for monitoring and/or controlling the welding process as an autonomous unit outside or inside the welding apparatus. 13 . A welding unit, in particular an orbital welding unit, that has a device as claimed in claim 1 .
