SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO DESIGN PART WELD PROCESSES
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring welding of components of a workpiece with multiple arc welds in a fixture, the system comprising:
- one or more weld sensors configured to collect data associated with the multiple arc welds; and
a computing device configured to;
access a weld program;
provide weld instructions defined in the weld program and associated with a sequence of welds for the workpiece, the weld instructions comprising a visual slide including an image of the workpiece and a visual indication of a first location of a first weld on the workpiece;
based on the weld program, display the visual slide at a first zoom level;
based on the weld program, display the visual slide at a second zoom level different than the first zoom level; and
monitor first weld data from the one or more sensors during a first weld to determine a status of the first weld.

Abstract
Systems and methods to design part weld processes are disclosed. An example system for monitoring welding of components of a workpiece with multiple arc welds in a fixture includes: one or more weld sensors configured to collect data associated with the multiple arc welds; and a computing device configured to: access a weld program; provide weld instructions defined in the weld program and associated with a sequence of welds for the workpiece, the weld instructions comprising a visual slide including an image of the workpiece and a visual indication of a first location of a first weld; based on the weld program, display the visual slide at a first zoom level; based on the weld program, display the visual slide at a second zoom level; and monitor first weld data from the one or more sensors during a first weld to determine a status of the first weld.

11. A non-transitory machine readable medium comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed, cause a processor to:
-
access a weld program; provide weld instructions defined in the weld program and associated with a sequence of welds for a workpiece, the weld instructions comprising a visual slide including an image of the workpiece and a visual indication of a first location of a first weld on the workpiece; based on the weld program, display the visual slide at a first zoom level via a display; based on the weld program, display the visual slide at a second zoom level different than the first zoom level via the display; and monitor weld data from the one or more sensors during a first weld to determine a status of the first weld. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
