Streamlining the Production Process with Phillips Opto

Phillips Hybrid Partners with Xiris Automation Inc

Expanding the Additive Manufacturing Horizon with Xiris Camera Systems and Phillips Additive Hybrid

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. 

The Technology Behind the Xiris Cameras 

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. 

Key Benefits for Additive Hybrid Manufacturing 

  • Real-Time Process Control: Both cameras offer enhanced monitoring for laser and wire arc processes. The XVC-700 delivers sharp, real-time views of the arc, while the XIR-1800 focuses on thermal and melt pool visualization for laser processes, enabling precise adjustments to maintain quality. 

  • Advanced Imaging and Data Analysis: With Xiris WeldStudio™ software, operators can leverage playback features and conduct data-driven adjustments. This functionality is critical for ensuring quality across both laser and wire arc additive processes. 

  • Versatile Application: Suited for both laser and arc-based environments, these cameras are ideal for Phillips Additive Hybrid’s solutions across sectors like aerospace, repair, and metal joining, meeting varied and stringent manufacturing standards.
