Just tell it to weld.
Omnicron is Weld OS: nex-ON’s welding edition, running on a collaborative arm. It finds the bare-metal seam in front of it, measures the part, rehearses the pass dry, and welds it when you arm the arc — all directed by voice, with no teach pendant and no CAD program.
What happens between “weld this” and the bead.
"Weld the seam on this bracket." Push-to-talk, session locked to English, Hindi or German so floor chatter cannot hijack it.
Open-vocabulary detection finds the part with no per-class training, then fused depth returns its length, width and distance in millimetres.
Inside the operator-drawn area of interest, a depth-and-image profile scan locates the bare-metal joint and both of its endpoints.
The hand-eye transform turns those endpoints into exact points in the robot's own coordinate frame. Reachability is checked before anything moves.
The full pass runs — lead-in, stroke at constant standoff, retract — with nothing energised. Identical motion, no arc.
On explicit arming: strike arc, run start to end with the chosen weave, end arc, retract. Then it tells you what it did.
Specified the way welders specify it.
Four oscillation patterns overlay the stroke, spaced either by a fixed pitch in millimetres per weave or by a set number of cycles across the seam.
Rehearse the whole pass with the arc off.
A dry weld is not a simulation — it is the real motion with nothing energised. The operator watches the exact pass, then decides.
