Abstract

A welding system comprises a hand-held weld tool comprises a positioning and orientation measurement system having an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a processing subsystem, and a calibration apparatus. The processing subsystem is operable to compute, based on data generated by the IMU during a weld operation on a workpiece, one or more actual motion attributes for the hand-held weld tool. The calibration apparatus is configured to hold the hand-held weld tool in a known position and orientation and in stationary state for calibration of the positioning and orientation measurement system.
