Phillips Corporation, a leader in hybrid manufacturing solutions, has recently partnered with Xiris Automation to introduce advanced camera packages that elevate precision and quality in hybrid manufacturing. These new package options featuring the Xiris XVC-700 Weld Camera and the Xiris XIR-1800 Thermal Camera, are designed to operate with both laser and wire arc Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technologies, enabling detailed process monitoring across a range of applications.
Xiris XVC-700 Weld Camera
The XVC-700 weld camera is tailored for high-resolution imaging in DED processes. It offers over 140 dB dynamic range, enabling clear views of the arc and surrounding environment, even in challenging conditions. Integrated with Xiris WeldStudio™ software, it allows operators to make rapid adjustments and monitor critical points, making it an invaluable tool for Phillips Additive Hybrid’s DED hybrid systems.
Xiris XIR-1800 Thermal Camera
The XIR-1800 Thermal Camera brings precision to DED additive manufacturing, capturing essential data on the melt pool for real-time thermal monitoring. Equipped with Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) sensitivity and thermal temperature mapping, the XIR-1800 provides insight into heat zones, facilitating consistent quality control in DED deposition. Integrated with WeldStudio™ 3 Pro, it offers multi-camera support and advanced analysis for optimized results in laser-based applications.
Phillips Additive Hybrid’s partnership with Xiris Automation aligns with its mission to provide manufacturers with tools that drive efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance quality. Together, Phillips Additive Hybrid and Xiris offer customers an unparalleled level of control in both laser and wire arc processes, ensuring that each product is manufactured to the highest standards.
