A sensor module for connection between a fabrication tool and the head of the fabrication tool. The sensor module has an interface connectable to the fabrication tool, having: a power port for receiving power transmitted by the fabrication tool to the head, a gas port for receiving gas delivered by the fabrication tool to the head, and another interface connectable to the head which has another power port for delivering power to the head, another gas port for delivering gas, from the first gas port, to the head. The module also has a sensor module having a memory, a sensor for measuring power transmitted to the head, another sensor for measuring the gas delivered to the head, a device for transmitting information between the sensor module and a remote location, and a processor electronically connected to the memory, transmission device, and sensors.

Sensor module for a fabrication tool

A device for supplying a shielding gas to a welding torch, the device including a cylinderfor holding the shielding gas, a valve operatively connected to the cylinder for selectively permitting flow of gas from the cylinder, a regulator for controlling the pressure of the gas flow from the cylinder, and a guard assemblycoupled to the cylinderand adapted to protect the valve and regulator from external forces, wherein a flow meterincorporated into the guard assembly, the flow meter being adapted to receive the nozzleof a welding torch and measure the flow rate of the gas therein.
