A system and method for wirelessly controlling, monitoring, and updating various welding parameters from a remote device using a single remote control. The remote does not need to have the software to communicate with the welding-type system prior to initiating communications with the welding-type system. Rather, the welding-type system can provide a code download to the remote to perform an over-the-air programming of the remote to configure the remote to control the welding-type system.

An metal fabrication resource performance monitoring method includes: acquiring data representative of a plurality of parameters sampled during metal fabrication operations of a plurality of metal fabrication resources, the parameters comprising arc on time and wire deposition quantity; via at least one computer processor, analyzing a first subset of the acquired data and a second subset of the acquired data for the plurality of metal fabrication resources; via the at least one computer processor, populating a user viewable page with graphical indicia representative of at least the arc on time and the wire deposition quantity, the user viewable page facilitating a visual comparison of the analysis of the first subset of the acquired data and the analysis of the second subset of the acquired data; and transmitting the user viewable dashboard page to a user viewable display.

An metal fabrication resource performance monitoring method includes: acquiring data representative of arc on time and wire deposition quantity associated with metal fabrication operations of a plurality of metal fabrication resources; via at least one computer processor, analyzing a first subset of the acquired data and a second subset of the acquired data for the plurality of metal fabrication resources; via the at least one computer processor, populating a user viewable page with graphical indicia representative of at least the arc on time and the wire deposition quantity, the user viewable page facilitating a visual comparison of the analysis of the first subset of the acquired data and the analysis of the second subset of the acquired data; and transmitting the user viewable page to a user viewable display.

System and method for data exchange and control with a wireless remote control for welding systems

A metal fabrication resource performance monitoring method, includes accessing data representative of a parameter sampled during a metal fabrication operation of a metal fabrication resource, the resource being selectable by a user from a listing of individual and groups of resources. Via at least one computer processor, the accessed parameter is processed to determine an analyzed system parameter, and a user viewable dashboard page is populated with graphical indicia representative of the analyzed system parameter, and transmitted the user viewable dashboard page to a user.

Metal fabrication systems, such as welding systems and related equipment may be monitored and parameters sensed or calculated during metal fabrication operations. The parameter values are stored and transmitted to a web based analysis system. Sampled values of the parameters are used to generate graphical presentations that are used to populate user viewable pages. The pages may be configured by users, and systems and parameters of interest selected.

Welding resource tracking and analysis system and method

A system includes an enclosure having a first radio module disposed therein, a first cable coupled to the enclosure, and a first antenna electrically coupled to the first radio module and mounted to the first cable at a first location along the first cable outside the enclosure. The first radio module is configured to communicate along a first wireless communications channel via the first antenna.

A door hanger () is disclosed for use in installation of a door assembly (). The door hanger () includes a jamb arm () with a triangular shaped edge (), and proximate shorter edges () formed inwardly from the triangular shaped edge () and perpendicular to each other. A pair of opposing faces () are formed by the triangular shaped edge () and the proximate edges (), and a central hole () is located substantially in the center of the opposing faces (). An alignment flange () is perpendicular to the jamb arm () and includes a distal arcuate edge (). The arcuate edge () has a configuration substantially conforming to the legs of a triangle. Formed inwardly from the distal arcuate edge () are a pair of opposing sides (), with sets of alignment notches () formed on the opposing sides (). The alignment flange () also includes an alignment slot () for purposes of selectively aligning a connecting screw or the like for attaching the door hanger () to either a strike side wall () or a hinge side wall (). The door hanger () also includes a pair of tabs () which assist in proper alignment of the door hanger () along the edges of the strike jamb () or hinge jamb (), as the case may be.
