Linuxcnc with Computer Vision …

Hamel2020, did you get it to work? If so how successful were you? I plan to do something similar using a THCAD10 as the welding sensor.

Hi …
Actually I’m still working on it … I was able to read the distance (gap-welding width) between the two plates as the photo , I used the external offset as Tommy advise , but the offset examples in axis is limited specially for sine oscillating motion damping in Z-direction , ( this will be helpful in case of plasma cutting ) but for welding need damping in XY-direction .
Still I need the convert the image reading into a voltage signal to indicate the max_lim and min_lim for the damping oscillating .
I used opencv and python

What kind of camera are you using?

this one

Very good, please keep us updated of your work. I would be very interesting in seeing this working!

Sure I will
