Problems solved by technology

If the operator does not adjust the voltage and wire feed speed settings properly, the arc action may not be sufficient to produce a good weld, or any weld at all
Additionally, in conventional setups, wire feed speed control and voltage control are either independent of each other or directly related, making it difficult for the operator to adjust welding parameters to achieve a desired set of parameters

Embodiment Construction

[0017] The disclosed example power supplies, user interfaces, and methods allow simple and intuitive setup of configurable and / or default settings for a welding power supply and / or wire feeder.

[0018] In some examples, the welding system includes a power supply for controlling the welding based on one or more welding parameters (e.g., voltage, current, power, wire feed speed, gas flow rate, pulse rate, workpiece thickness, workpiece material type, electrode type, welding process , travel speed, arc length or joint type, etc.) to deliver power to the torch. As disclosed herein, welding parameters may correspond to default and / or factory settings that represent empirically cited values ​​for a particular welding process (e.g., based on material type, electrode diameter, welding process, and / or tools, etc.). Welding parameters can be configured for specific purposes. In other words, an interface (such as an auto-set button) may be provided to allow an operator to adjust one...

Abstract

Example disclosed power supplies, user interfaces, and methods are provided for simple and intuitive setting of configurable settings and / or default settings of a welding power source and / or a wire feeder. The welding parameters may correspond to default settings and / or factory settings that represent empirical citation values for a particular welding process (e.g., based on material type, electrode diameter, welding process and / or tool, etc.). The welding parameters may additionally or alternatively be configured for particular purposes. Once the configurable setting is selected, the configurable setting controls the system output. Further, once a set of configurable welding parameters has been established, the operator may return to the default settings by resetting the welding parameters.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is a non-provisional patent application claiming a U.S. provisional patent entitled "Welding Power Supplies And User Interfaces For Welding Power Supplies" filed September 9, 2019 Priority to Application No. 62 / 897,778, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Background technique [0003] Ordinary metal welding technology uses the heat generated by the arc action to transform the workpiece into a molten state to facilitate the welding process. One technique that uses this principle of arc action is wire-fed welding. If the welding setup is properly adjusted, the wire feed advance and arc action cycle will proceed smoothly, providing a good weld. [0004] Traditionally, during a welding operation, the operator selects the level and type of resources to provide to the welding location, depending, of course, on the particulars of the welding and the material being wel...
