Title:
A WELDING ELECTRODE FEEDER WITH SENSOR FOR ELECTRODE PARAMETER DETECTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/106162
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A welding electrode feeder includes an electrode package support and control circuitry. The electrode package support is configured to be coupled to a package of electrode. The electrode package support includes a hub motor disposed within the electrode package support, wherein the hub motor is configured to rotate the package coupled to the electrode package support, and a sensor configured to sense one or more parameters of the electrode. The control circuitry is communicatively coupled to the hub motor, the sensor, and a downstream motor, and is configured to control the hub motor or the downstream motor based at least in part upon the one or more parameters of the electrode.
