Abstract
The invention described herein generally pertains to a system and method related to a semi-automatic or a manual welding operation and detecting a base material (e.g., workpiece) temperature, communicating the base material temperature, and adjusting the welding operation based on the detected base material temperature. A temperature sensor can detect temperature at a location that is a distance from the arc and, for instance, parallel to a direction of travel of the welding torch and such detected temperature can be communicated to the user performing the weld or the user controlling the semi-automatic welding system. The user can be informed if the detected temperature is within a tolerance or approved range or if the detected temperature is outside the tolerance or approved range for the type of base material and/or pre-defined temperature.
