Automated wire end control
Automated wire end control checks the feed behavior and wire position before starting to prevent misfires. It detects defective wire ends or blockages early.
Physical-chemical mechanism of action
Automated wire end control uses sensors to monitor the feed and position of the wire. These sensors continuously measure movement and can detect anomalies.
Metallurgical relevance & risks in welding
Misfires occur when the wire is not fed correctly or is blocked. This leads to incomplete weld endings and can cause cracks or fractures in the workpiece. The control prevents such problems by early detection of defects.
Workshop practice & action instructions
Use wire end control before starting the welding process. Ensure all sensors are correctly calibrated and functioning. Constantly monitor the control display during welding. On warning messages, immediately check wire feed and position. Correct any blockages or defects immediately.
