Abstract:
An auxiliary wire feeder has a pushing device for advancing welding wire, a control device for controlling the pushing device, and an electric contact adapted for being in electrical connection with the welding wire. The electric contact is connected to the control device for supplying a control signal to the control device. A welding system comprises an auxiliary wire feeder of this kind and further a welding torch, a main wire feeder, a wire guide for guiding welding wire from a supply to the welding torch and a welding current contact for supplying welding current to the welding wire. For controlling an auxiliary wire feeder in a welding system having a welding torch, a main wire feeder, a wire guide for guiding welding wire from a supply to the welding torch, a welding current contact for supplying welding current to the welding wire, the control of the auxiliary welding wire feeder is responsive to an electrical signal transmitted via the welding wire.
Abstract:
A wire feeding system, in particular for feeding a so called “cold wire” or wire with no tension nor signal running on its surface, in which the pulling or holding of the wire by the front wire feeder puts the rear pushing slave booster respectively into a pre-set active full motor torque or into a pre-set stand-by minimum motor torque, as needed. Alternatively, a wire feed system for feeding a so called “cold wire” or wire with no tension nor signal running on its surface, in which the rear pushing slave booster is remotely controlled by an optic sensor positioned nearby the torch and sensing the light of the torch welding or spraying arc.

Abstract:
A module for controlling welding parameters and a method for operating a welding wire feeder is disclosed, with the feeder having a motor, a feeding wheel driven by the motor, a control which controls operation of the motor, an operator interface adapted for allowing an operator to input data which is being used by the control.
