Method And Apparatus For Feeding Welding Wire

US Patent:
6257517, Jul 10, 2001
Filed:
Aug 10, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/371532
Inventors:
Francis Stephen Babish - Clarks Summit PA
Michael Edward Sandherr - Factoryville PA
Assignee:
Sandvik Steel Co. - Clarks Summit PA
International Classification:
B65H 5102
US Classification:
2423656
Abstract:
A welding wire feeding system feeds welding wire from a barrel to a welding gun. The system includes a feed mechanism for drawing welding wire from the barrel and advancing the welding wire toward the welding gun. A free-wheeling wheel is disposed between the barrel and the feed mechanism and is freely rotatable about an axis. The welding wire is wound around the wheel, whereby a curvature is imparted to an otherwise-straight welding wire. Also, any twists generated in the welding wire at the welding gun will be stopped at the wheel before reaching and fouling the barrel.
