For example, a manufacturer of thick-walled steel pipe recently figured out how to use our cameras in a way that has greatly improved the efficiency of their coil joining process. [Coil Joining Process being Monitored with a Xiris Weld Camera](https://vimeo.com/497661816) from [Xiris Automation Inc.](https://vimeo.com/user116121160) on [Vimeo](https://vimeo.com). ## The Coil Joining Process Operators only have about 10 minutes to end-sheer, mate, and weld coils during the semi-automatic front-end part of the process. The cost of coil joint failure is high, so the manufacturer would stop the tube mill to check on the integrity of the coil joint before continuing. Even though the stoppage prevented more-costly failures, it had its own cost. What our customer needed was a way to adequately monitor the end joining in the infeed buffer of the pipe mill without having to stop the process to assure correct coil matching. ## The Solution  They knew the capabilities of our cameras to enable real-time remote monitoring of weld processes with greater visibility than ever before possible. So they developed a plan to use [Xiris XVC weld cameras](https://info.xiris.com/xvc-1000-1100-datasheet-request) to monitor the coil joining during the front end of the process. This monitoring eliminates the need for routine stoppages. This solution also keeps operators safer. Coil joining is performed using a MIG welding torch mounted onto a linear track with dual-axis torch position. Previously, operators had to be close enough to the torch to see what was happening with the weld. With the Xiris HDR cameras, they have a clear view of the coil joining process from a safe remote location. With their creative use of our HDR camera technology, this manufacturer was able to significantly reduce the time and cost of coil joining, while increasing consistency.   ---  **Better Images.
