Abstract:

Warning and shutdown systems and methods are presented for providing advance warnings of pending fault conditions to an operator of an arc processing system. The warning system comprises an input, a logic system, and a signaling system, where the input receives a sensor signal indicative of an operational condition of the arc processing system, the logic system detects a pending fault condition based on the sensor signal, and the signaling system provides a warning signal to the operator, wherein the warning signal is indicative of the pending fault condition. Shutdown apparatus is provided which has a sensor input, a logic system to detect a fault condition, and a shutdown system that selectively shuts the arc processing system down a predetermined time period after fault detection.

Joseph A Daniel - Sagamore Hills OH, US

Assignee:

Lincoln Global, Inc. - City of Industry CA

International Classification:

B23K 9/10

US Classification:

21913731, 2191377, 21913771, 219137 R

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for feeding welding wire, where the apparatus contains a wire feeding device which pays out a wire and a power source which provides a current and voltage to the wire while it is being paid out. The apparatus further includes a detection circuit which detects a short circuit in the wire when the wire makes contact with a work piece or the like, and upon detection of the short circuit the wire feeding device stops feeding the wire so that a desired stick out distance is achieved.

Inventors:

Joseph Daniel - Sagamore Hills OH, US

International Classification:

B23K 9/10

US Classification:

219137710

Abstract:

A monitoring device for sensing of the actual amount of welding wire on a spool with a minimum wire supply diameter for use in a wire feeder of an electric arc welder, said monitoring device comprising: an RPM device to create a spool speed signal indicative of the rotational speed of the spool as the spool provides wire at the known wire feed speed and a converting device for converting according to a set relationship the spool speed signal into a wire supply signal varying between a high level when the spool speed signal is low at a presumed maximum supply of wire on the spool and a low level when the spool speed signal is high at the minimum supply of wire on said spool determined by the minimum wire supply diameter.

International Classification:

B23K 9/12

US Classification:

219125100

Abstract:

Welding systems and sequence controllers therefor are presented for controlling components of a welding system during a welding operation. The sequence controller receives system inputs and provides control outputs to the system components, and includes a processing component, an executable sequence control program, and a state table file. The sequence control state table file includes a number of entries corresponding to welding operation states, where the individual entries comprise one or more instruction identifiers, instruction parameters, exit condition identifiers and corresponding next state identifiers. The sequence control program is executed according to the sequence controller inputs and according to the state table file to provide the sequence controller outputs, where the state table file can be easily modified or new state table files can be created and downloaded to the sequence controller to facilitate easy reconfiguration of a welding system.

International Classification:

B23Q 15/20

US Classification:

228102, 228 8

Abstract:

A semi-automatic welding work cell, including a welding job sequencer that automatically selects a welding schedule for use by an operator in the semi-automatic welding work cell. The automatic selection may be by way of elapsed time, a detection of welding operations, a detection of the amount of welding wire supplied for the welding operation, or a detection of the amount of energy supplied for the welding operation.
