High-Speed and Hidden process

visualization systems

Smartmetal®HSLL640 / Smartmetal®HSLL810 is a versatile and powerful high-performance pulsed diode laser light source. It is very suitable light source for high-speed cameras, and an excellent and versatile tool for scientific and industrial R&D work. Typical application examples include welding, flow and spray studies, material testing, ballistics and explosions.


Smartmetal®HSLL system is compatible with schlieren and shadowgraphy optical solutions. The high maximum duty cycle (2 %) of Smartmetal®HSLL system enables it to operate at frame rates up to several hundreds of thousands of frames per second.


Based on our vast experience of design and test work with laser diode technologies at workshop sites we designed and tested following types of welding cameras useful for different application:

Demonstration of the Smartmetal KamA welding video camera working

  • Smartmetal® KamA – multi-operated welding camera, designed for remote control of arc welding, along with Plasma, or Laser or hybrid power source. The camera’s shell designed with air or Water cooling versions, which let to use the camera at ambient temperature up to +300C. Possible to buy the camera worked up to 1075 frames per second with reduced resolution – 320 x 240. This high speed camera suitable to optimize the pulse arc parameters

  • Smartmetal® SAW – remote video control system of automated submerged arc welding process, consist of 2 cameras and industrial monitor mounted on the mobile stand, the system designed and tested for application at high ambient temperature (up to +260°C) and confined space condition

Demonstration of the Welding camera shooting the Pulse Arc MIG process.

  • Smartmetal® EBW – remote video control of Electron Beam Welding process in vacuum condition for welding or additive manufacturing process

  • Smartmetal® ATOM – the tiniest welding camera in the world, just 8mm diameter, with built-in cooling and laser lighting systems, which allow to work at high temperature conditions (up to +260°C) and in tiniest condition, as example the inner surface of the 25mm diameter nozzle, during arc weld overlay.

Apart the supply we also offer the rent turn key solution for your application, when you can take our specialist with high speed video camera and high speed laser illumination system for 3-8 days, and receive all data you need so far
