Description
Cavitar C400-B Welding Camera System
The Cavitar C400-B Welding Camera System combines a compact monochrome camera, integrated laser illumination, and adjustable optics for live weld visualization. Designed to handle intense welding arc light, it supports process observation, quality assurance, remote welding inspection, and welding education.
Key Features
- Monochrome sensor with 1440 x 1080-pixel resolution
- 70 fps at full resolution, dependent on computer performance
- Integrated laser illumination
- Gigabit Ethernet camera interface
- Adjustable optics with a working distance of 150–300 mm
- Compact camera dimensions of 38 x 48 x 99 mm
- Cooling channels and passive or active cooling options
Weld Monitoring and Process Observation
The C400-B provides live images for observing welding and making real-time parameter adjustments in automated processes such as tube seam welding. Remote viewing allows operators to observe the process away from the immediate welding area.
Applications include the welding and fabrication industry, quality assurance, remote welding inspection, and welding education.
Welding Process Compatibility
Supported applications include GMAW (MIG, MAG), GTAW (TIG), plasma welding, robotic welding, and additive manufacturing. The system also supports viewing of CO2 laser, fiber laser, diode laser, Nd:YAG laser, and electron beam welding processes.
Compact Positioning and Cooling Options
The compact camera housing suits installations with limited space, while adjustable optics allow the view to be configured for the application. Cooling options include passive heat dissipation through a heatsink or heat conduction, and active cooling using air or liquid.
Alabama Probe provides regional sales assistance for welding and fabrication applications across the Southeast.
