This is a major advantage for process automation.”  The XVC 1000 has been an essential tool for machine and process development, saving the team at AML a great deal of time and money.  The initial plan for the [weld camera](https://www.xiris.com/weld-monitoring-cameras/) was for laboratory use only; however, AML has since decided that the cameras will be integrated into all of its metal additive manufacturing systems for process monitoring during production.  Details of the current AML process are very confidential but AML has granted us permission to show an older process development video taken with the XVC 1000…       **For more information on how Xiris Weld Cameras can help with your manufacturing processes, please visit** **[Xiris.com](http://www.xiris.com/en/)**  **Sign up to receive our**[**Weld Video of the Month**](https://info.xiris.com/weld-video-subscription) ### Recent Posts ### You may also like: [![](https://blog.xiris.com/hubfs/Open%20Graph%20-%20Blogs-1.png) ## How HDR Weld Pool Camera Technology Reduces Arc Glare {% module_block module... ](https://blog.xiris.com/blog/how-hdr-weld-pool-camera-technology-reduces-arc-glare) [![Do Undercut Welds Need to Be Redone?
