Sensor module 100 connectable between the main body 15 and head 20 of a fabrication tool with first and second gas ports; first and second power ports; and a sensor module comprising gas and power sensors, memory, a processor and transmission means. Preferably, the sensor is used for welding and comprises first and second wire ports, and a welding wire sensor. Preferably, the tool is a plasma or gas cutter. Preferably, sensor data is compared to optimal parameters stored in the memory, is outputted in real time via the transmission means, and the approximate location of a fault is determined if parameters lie outside of optimum. Preferably, the sensors monitor humidity, temperature or flow rate of the gas, and the wire diameter. Preferably, the transmission means sends data to a remote location or user interface. Preferably, a valve 31 to vary flow rate of gas is controlled by the module. |
