Ar 82% + CO₂ 18% on stainless — beautiful spatter, and why we count it

What happens when you weld stainless steel with an Ar 82% + CO₂ 18% gas mix?

You get beautiful spatter. Lots of beautiful spatter.

That's not the point, of course — but it happens in real production: wrong shielding gas, wrong current parameters, an unstable arc. Every one of those causes leaves a trace as a jump in spatter count.

That's why real-time spatter monitoring is a real quality signal. The faster you detect an anomaly, the lower the cost of correcting it — in materials and in post-processing time.

How it works — three layers, three roles

In the Rocket Welder Set Mini, each component has a clearly separated role:

• The Rocket Retina camera sees — HDR imaging via dual exposure, supported by LED illumination.
• The A.I. model recognizes — spatter in every frame: streaks, droplets, fragments on the surface.
• The platform counts and streams — statistics in real time to your HMI, PLC, or web browser.

Everything runs locally on the Neuron Mini edge compute unit — no cloud, no latency, on the factory floor.

Available in the latest update

🚀 Spatter monitoring is available in the latest update to the RocketWelder platform. Deployments in Poland, installation included.
