Dec 22, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/644442

Inventors:

Michael W. Roth - Greenville WI, US
Michael L. Vanden Heuvel - Sherwood WI, US

International Classification:

B23K 9/10
B23K 9/32

US Classification:

2191377, 224645, 219132, 21913771

Abstract:

A portable wire feeder system is disclosed that includes a wire feeder disposed in a hands-free carrying case or backpack. The hands-free carrying case or backpack may include a hip mount, a shoulder mount, or a combination thereof. Additionally, the backpack may include a welding torch receptacle. The system may further include a controller configured to exchange data with a welding power supply remotely located from the hands-free carrying case. The system may also include a user control device located on the hands-free carrying case and coupled to the controller. The user control device may also be a wireless communication device and may include a body mount. The system may further include a moisture remover disposed in the backpack and/or a heater.

Assignee:

Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL

International Classification:

B23K 9/10

US Classification:

219133

Abstract:

Welding systems including a hydraulically driven welding power supply adapted to utilize hydraulic primary power to generate a first welding output for a first welding operation and a second welding output for a second welding operation are provided. Such welding systems may include control circuitry coupled to the hydraulically driven welding power supply and adapted to enable the hydraulically driven welding power supply to provide the first welding output and the second welding output at the same time to enable a first welding operator and a second welding operator to perform the first welding operation and the second welding operation, respectively, at the same time.

Assignee:

Illinois Tool Works, Inc. - Glenview IL

International Classification:

B23K 9/10
B23K 9/28

US Classification:

21913021

Abstract:

A system and device operating using a welding power bus are provided. One welding power supply includes control circuitry configured to control the operation of the welding power supply and power conversion circuitry configured to convert input power to output welding power. The welding power supply also includes welding terminals configured to receive the output welding power from the power conversion circuitry and to provide the output welding power to a device that does not use the welding power for a welding operation. The control circuitry is configured to adapt the output welding power to the device.

Assignee:

ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC. - Glenview IL

International Classification:

B23K 9/095

US Classification:

21913021

Abstract:

A welding device for remotely controlling welding power supply settings is provided. One embodiment of the welding device includes a welding pendant having a control panel configured to control a plurality of settings of a welding power supply. The control panel is not part of the welding power supply and the plurality of settings includes a welding current output by the welding power supply. The welding pendant also includes a welding power input configured to receive welding power and data from the welding power supply via a welding power cable. The welding power is combined with the data such that the data is provided over the welding power cable.
