SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WELDING TORCH DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining an orientation of a display of a welding torch relative to a joint of a workpiece;
displaying, on the display of the welding torch during a welding operation, a graphical representation of a welding parameter in relation to a predetermined threshold range for the welding parameter as a position of the welding torch changes, the orientation of the welding torch changes, a movement of the welding torch changes, or some combination thereof, wherein the graphical representation of the welding parameter is associated with the position of the welding torch relative to the joint, the orientation of the welding torch relative to the joint, the movement of the welding torch relative to the joint, or some combination thereof; and
rotating the graphical representation of the welding parameter on the display based at least in part on the determined orientation of the display of the welding torch relative to the joint.

Abstract
A method including determining an orientation of a display of a welding torch relative to a joint of a workpiece, displaying, on the display of the welding torch during a welding operation, a graphical representation of a welding parameter in relation to a predetermined threshold range for the welding parameter as a position of the welding torch changes, the orientation of the welding torch changes, a movement of the welding torch changes, or some combination thereof, and rotating the graphical representation of the welding parameter based at least in part on the determined orientation of the display of the welding torch relative to the joint. The graphical representation of the welding parameter is associated with the position of the welding torch relative to the joint, the orientation of the welding torch relative to the joint, the movement of the welding torch relative to the joint, or some combination thereof.

11. A system comprising:
a welding torch, comprising; a housing configured to enclose control circuitry of the welding torch; and a display coupled to the housing, wherein the display is configured to display during a welding operation a graphical representation of a welding parameter in relation to a predetermined threshold range for the welding parameter as a position of the welding torch changes, an orientation of the welding torch changes, a movement of the welding torch changes, or some combination thereof, wherein the graphical representation of the welding parameter is associated with the position of the welding torch relative to a joint of a workpiece, the orientation of the welding torch relative to the joint of the workpiece, the movement of the welding torch relative to the joint of the workpiece, or some combination thereof, wherein the graphical representation is configured to rotate on the display relative to the housing based at least in part on the orientation of the display relative to the joint of the workpiece. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method comprising:
-
determining an orientation of a display of a welding torch relative to a joint of a workpiece based at least in part on sensor feedback from inertial sensors coupled to a welding torch, a sensing device configured to detect a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed on the welding torch, or any combination thereof; displaying, on the display of the welding torch during a welding operation, a graphical representation of a welding parameter in relation to a predetermined threshold range for the welding parameter as a position of the welding torch changes, the orientation of the welding torch changes, a movement of the welding torch changes, or some combination thereof, wherein the graphical representation of the welding parameter is associated with the position of the welding torch relative to the joint, the orientation of the welding torch relative to the joint, the movement of the welding torch relative to the joint, or some combination thereof; and rotating the graphical representation of the welding parameter on the display based at least in part on the determined orientation of the display of the welding torch relative to the joint. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
