Ref. No. 68922-CA ABSTRACT An example engine driven welder/generator system is disclosed that includes a turbo charged gasoline powered engine connected to an electric welder/ generator. The welder/generator is configured to provide an output to an auxiliary welding system. The turbo charger system enhances operation of the gasoline engine by powering a turbine with engine exhaust to drive a compressor to increase intake of air, resulting in compressed air providing more powerful explosions in an engine combustion chamber once fuel is added and ignited. The resulting engine drives the welder/generator to provide a more consistent torque curve, while generating less noise per unit of power output in comparison to a diesel engine.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PNEUMATIC CLEANING OF AN EXTRACTION SYSTEM FILTER
An extraction system is designed for metal working and other applications. The system employs a pneumatic filter cleaning device with a pneumatically driven extension guide arranged within a chamber. The guide is coupled to a first end of an extension member, which has a nozzle secured to a second end. Pressurized air provided to the nozzle through the extension member increases until a pressure at the nozzle reaches a threshold pressure level. Once the threshold pressure level is achieved, the nozzle releases a pulse or burst of air directed to a filter medium. The force from the pulsed air dislodges airborne components from the filter media, resulting in a cleaned filter.

Described herein are examples of weld tracking systems. In some examples, a weld tracking system include weld tracking sensors configured to allow the weld tracking system to track a position and/or orientation of a welding-type tool, and/or an arc generated by the welding- type tool. In some examples, the weld tracking system evaluates certain welding technique and/or welding operation parameters based on the tracked position(s) and/or orientation(s), and/or offers corrective feedback. In some examples, one or more calibrations may be performed to aid in evaluation of the welding technique and/or welding operation parameters.
Described herein are examples of weld tracking systems implemented via a welding helmet. The welding helmet includes weld tracking sensors configured to allow the welding helmet to track a welding-type tool and/or an arc generated by the welding-type tool. The welding helmet also includes helmet tracking sensors configured to allow the welding helmet to track its own position and/or orientation relative to a reference point in the welding environment. By tracking itself as well as the welding-type tool and/or arc, the welding helmet can differentiate between its own movement, and movement of the welding-type tool and/or arc. By implementing the weld tracking system in the welding helmet, the weld tracking system becomes portable and usable outside of the usual fixed confines of weld tracking systems.
Systems and apparatus are disclosed relating to improved fluid supply systems. In some examples, the improved fluid supply systems use an electrically controllable proportional valve and a surge prevention process to prevent a surge of pressurized fluid at the end of a welding-type operation. In particular, the surge prevention process may coordinate closure of the proportional valve and an on/off solenoid valve so that pressure in the fluid flow path can equalize to an ambient pressure after a welding operation (and/or a post flow operation) has ended. This coordination ensures that there is no pressure buildup and/or associated surge of fluid when the on/off solenoid valve is next opened (e.g., at the start of the next welding operation).
An example welding interface device, includes: a user interface device; a processor; and a machine readable storage device comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine, via the user interface device, information describing physical characteristics of a workpiece for a weld to be performed; based on the physical characteristics, determining at least one of a thermal characteristic of the workpiece, an electrical characteristic of the workpiece, or a chemical characteristic of the workpiece; determine a boundary condition associated with the workpiece based on the at least one of the thermal characteristic, the electrical characteristic, or the chemical characteristic; and output a welding process based on the boundary condition.
A fastener driving device comprising a combustion chamber, a piston and a fastener channel. The piston is coupled to the combustion chamber and slidable within a sleeve such that combustion gas expansion in the combustion chamber causes the piston to slide from a first position to a second position. The fastener channel is configured to receive a fastener, wherein when moving from the first position to the second position the piston is configured to engage the fastener and drive it from the device. According to a first example the device further comprises a return chamber configured to receive gas from the sleeve via a first vent, and the device comprises a second vent coupled to the return chamber and configured to supply combustion gas from the combustion chamber to the return chamber. According to a second example the combustion chamber comprises a moveable housing portion, wherein combustion gas expansion in the combustion chamber acts on the moveable housing portion such that the moveable housing portion moves in a first direction to open the combustion chamber and exhaust combustion gases.
A fastener driving device (100) comprising a pressure chamber (110), a first piston (128), a fastener channel and a second piston (454). The first piston (128) is coupled to the pressure chamber such that pressurized gas in the pressure chamber causes the first piston to slide from a first position to a second position. The fastener channel is configured to receive a fastener (102), wherein when moving from the first position to the second position the first piston is configured to engage a fastener and drive it from the device. The second piston (454) is slidable within a sleeve (458) and arranged such that when the first piston slides from the first position to the second position the first piston drives the second piston and compresses gas within the sleeve. Compressed gas in the sleeve biases the first piston towards the first position.
Described herein are examples of smart welding helmets with arc time tracking verification and lens maintenance detection. In some examples, the arc time tracking verification checks whether certain conditions are satisfied before tracking the arc time. This may make arc time tracking more reliable by preventing tracking during certain false positive arc detection scenarios. In some examples, the lens maintenance detection notifies an operator to clean and/or replace their lens when the lens becomes substantially occluded (e.g., due to weld spatter) and/or has been in use for a certain amount of time (and/or arc time). This may assist operators who become too engrossed in their work to notice the gradual diminishment in visibility that can be caused by slow build up of weld spatter, debris, and/or other particulates on the cover lens.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO MITIGATE FUSION BETWEEN A WIRE ELECTRODE AND A WELDING TORCH
Systems and methods are described to address issues associated with welding with cored wires. In certain processes, a welding wire may "stick" or fuse to a contact tip. To mitigate the negative effects of a wire fusing to a contact tip, a double pulse waveform is applied. A first pulse is applied at a first current level above a threshold current level required to transfer a ball of molten welding wire in a peak phase, and a second pulse is applied in the background phase at a second current level below the threshold current level to limit and/or eliminate fusion between the wire and the contact tip. In examples, the second current level is sufficient to dislodge a spot weld between the welding wire and the welding torch yet insufficient to transfer a ball of molten welding wire.
