    The invention relates to a method for determining a setpoint value for the contact pressure of conveyor rollers of at least one device for conveying a welding wire of a welding device, wherein the setpoint value of the contact pressure is determined empirically or by calculation as a function of predetermined parameters and adjusted on the at least one conveyor device.
    The invention further relates to a welding device with at least one conveyor rollers comprehensive device for conveying a welding wire, wherein a target value of the contact pressure of the conveyor rollers of each conveyor depending on predetermined parameters empirically or computationally determined and on the at least one conveyor is adjustable.
    In welding process with melting welding wire this is promoted by a wire supply, such as a wire reel or a wire drum, via corresponding conveying devices to the welding torch to form a corresponding weld seam for connecting two workpieces there. To promote the welding wire usually two conveyor rollers are used, between which the welding wire is clamped. At least one of the conveyor rollers is driven. Usually, a corresponding groove for receiving the welding wire is provided on the conveyor rollers. The shape of the groove may be formed differently depending on the material of the welding wire, for example trapezoidal or semicircular. Depending on the welding process, the number and arrangement of the conveyors may vary. For example, only one conveyor device or else both in the welding torch and in the region of the wire supply and possibly also therebetween a conveying device for transporting the welding wire can be arranged only in the welding torch or only in the region of the wire supply. Particularly in modern welding processes, such as, for example, the CMT (cold metal transfer) welding process, in which transport of the welding wire against the normal direction to the workpiece takes place at times, several conveying devices per welding device are customary. For optimum delivery of the welding wire, it is necessary to adjust the pressure with which the welding wire is clamped between the conveying rollers of the conveying device. Depending on the material and diameter of the welding wire but also the nature of the conveyor rollers of the conveyor, there are optimal setpoints for the contact pressure. If the contact pressure is chosen too low, the welding wire may slip between the conveyor rollers and not be transported at the desired speed to the weld. This may be the case that too little welding wire is conveyed to the weld. As a result, it can lead to changes in the arc length and thus to a deterioration of the quality of welding. In the case of excessive contact pressure, this can lead to an inadmissible deformation of the welding wire and, in turn, to problems in transporting the welding wire and the weld.
    For example, AT 007 924 U1 describes a drive unit for conveying a welding wire, wherein the welding wire is clamped in the area of the welding torch between two conveying rollers and a movement of the welding wire is achieved when a conveying roller, the so-called drive roller, is driven.
    EP 1 755 817 B1 shows a device integrated in the welding torch for conveying the welding wire, wherein an elastically or plastically deformable pressure means is provided for adapting the contact pressure to the material and the diameter of the welding wire, by means of which a conveying roller can be adjusted accordingly Adjustment of the contact pressure on the respective welding wire to make. Usually, the selection and adjustment of the nominal value of the contact pressure is based on tables with empirically determined set values for the contact pressure in accordance with predetermined parameters, such as the welding wire material, the welding wire diameter and possibly the type of conveyor rollers, such as the shape and surface finish of the groove of the conveyor rollers. The corresponding setpoint values for the contact pressure are determined empirically for all parameter combinations and entered in the corresponding tables. The welder then chooses from the tables for those of him with a specific

    Welding wire to perform the ideal setpoint for the contact pressure and sets this manually on the conveyor. For this purpose, for example, there is a thumbwheel with a corresponding scale on the conveyor, which is rotated accordingly until the value on the scale coincides with the table value for the set value of the contact pressure. For simplification, it is usually not the contact pressure itself but a preferably single-digit numerical value which corresponds to the corresponding contact pressure that is selected. For this purpose, usually on the conveyor device, in particular on a cover of the conveyor, a corresponding table for usual welding properties or for that welding property, for which the welding device is designed, glued. Further tables must be taken by the user from the description or other sources, such as the Internet.
    Apart from the high cost of selecting and adjusting the contact pressure, conventional methods are also very prone to misadjustments by the welder.
    Object of the present invention is therefore to simplify, and improve the determination and specification of the target value of the contact pressure of the conveyor rollers of a device for conveying a welding wire of a welding device, with the aim to improve the quality of welding by optimally adjusted contact pressure. Disadvantages of the prior art should be avoided or at least reduced as much as possible.
    The object according to the invention is achieved in terms of the method in that data of the specified parameters are stored together with data of additional parameters relating to the configuration of the welding device in a database together with the respective empirically determined setpoint values of the contact pressure or a calculation rule for calculating the respective setpoint values of the contact pressure , And the target value of the contact pressure of each conveyor in response to these specified parameters and additional configuration parameters from the database empirically or computationally determined and displayed on at least one display. This method is thus characterized by the fact that, in addition to the known influencing patents, it is also possible to use the known influencing patents T · T · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ···················································. * · ·· * ** · * * «parameters (welding wire material, welding wire diameter, type of conveying rollers of the conveyor, etc.) other influencing parameters that take into account the configuration of the welding device, in a database together with the respective optimum values for the contact pressure of the conveyor rollers the conveyors are stored. By using a database instead of tables or charts can thus be used much more influencing parameters for the selection of the optimum contact pressure, whereby the setting can be matched even better to the particular circumstances, in particular the type of configuration of the welding device. For each parameter combination, the optimum contact pressure of each conveyor is determined empirically here, too. under laboratory conditions, determined and stored. Of course, a corresponding calculation rule for calculating the setpoint value of the contact pressure in dependence on all influencing parameters instead of individual values can be stored in the database. However, whatever the input or selection of the specified parameters and configuration parameters, the setpoint of the contact pressure of the conveyor rollers of each conveyor is indicated to the welder, who can then make the appropriate settings on the conveyors. Due to the additional configuration parameters, consideration is given to the multitude of possibilities of configurations of the welding device, and thus a better selection of the respective optimum contact pressure is achieved. Also, the method reduces the likelihood of misadjustments due to misallocations in the tables or charts because the welder essentially sets the current configuration of the application. If the number of applications remains the same, the different tables and / or diagrams per application are eliminated. The corresponding data of the database can also be relatively quickly and easily updated or adapted to new circumstances and expanded. The indication of the set value of the contact pressure of each conveyor or a corresponding equivalent numerical value can be made on one or more displays. Preferably, the display for the setpoint of the contact pressure is in the immediate vicinity of the respective conveyor on which the adjustment of the contact pressure is made. Of course, even in the case of several delivery devices, only one conveyor may also be used in the case of a plurality of conveyors Display can be arranged, at which the set values for the contact pressure of all conveyors, for example, are displayed one behind the other. Another significant advantage lies in the fact that when determining or displaying the setpoint for the contact pressure, the actual actual values of the contact pressure during a weld can also be taken into account. For example, after a welding, the previously indicated value of the contact pressure can be changed or adjusted on the basis of the actual values of the contact pressure during the welding.
    The data of the specified parameters and / or configuration parameters may be entered or selected via an input device. The input device, which may also be formed by the commonly used input / output device of the welding device, thus serves to set the specified parameters (e.g., welding wire material, welding wire diameter, etc.) and the configuration parameters {e.g. Number and type of conveyors, length of hose package, etc.) to set or select, after which the optimum setpoint of the contact pressure of each conveyor from the database automatically determined and displayed to the welder.
    Additionally or alternatively, the data of the specified parameters and / or configuration parameters can also be detected automatically. As a result, incorrect settings can be avoided by the welder. The automatic detection of the respective set parameters and / or configuration parameters can be done in various ways. For example, welding components can have unique identifications, by means of which the configuration parameters can be determined. If these are automatically forwarded to the database, a selection of the nominal value of the contact pressure of the conveying devices can also be made automatically.
    As fixed parameters, preferably the material and the diameter of the welding wire and possibly the type of conveying rollers of the conveying device are used. ····· · «· • · · · · · ·" "" * "• * ♦ Φ ft · • · · i" · · # ** »# · · · · · · · · 6
    The configuration parameters used are preferably the number and the positions of the conveying devices, the type, number and length of hose packages for guiding the welding wire and / or the type of the at least one conveying device, such as a 2-roller or 4-roller drive. The configuration parameters should include all degrees of freedom in the configuration of the welding device, which have an influence on the selection of the optimum contact pressure of the conveyor. For example, the length of the hose package has a significant influence on which counterforce of the conveyor is presented, and with what contact pressure the welding wire must thus be pressed in order to achieve optimum promotion can.
    If, according to a further feature of the invention, the selected nominal value of the contact pressure of each conveying device is corrected as a function of a measured conveying speed of the welding wire, for example a measured motor current of the conveying device, wear, in particular the conveying rollers, can be taken into account. Thus, optimal wear conditions can continue to be achieved over a certain period of time despite the occurrence of wear. For example, deviations from the usual motor current of the drive rotor of the conveyor device are signs of wear of the conveyor rollers, which is why the motor current can be used as an indicator of wear.
    The exceeding or falling below threshold values of the measured wire conveying speed, for example of the measured motor current of the conveyor device, can also be displayed optically or acoustically in order to point out the wear of the conveyor device and to enable the welder to prepare an exchange of the corresponding welding components, in particular conveyor rollers give.
    A further improvement of the method can be achieved in that the target value of the contact pressure of each conveyor is set automatically. The automatic setting can be done for example by appropriate stepper motors or the like. Such an automatic adjustment by the welder may preclude incorrect settings ,
    The setpoint value of the contact pressure of each delivery device is preferably displayed in the form of a value between 0 and 9 on the at least one display. This simplifies the manual adjustment of the contact pressure and also allows adaptation to existing conveyors with predetermined scales for adjusting the adjustment of the contact pressure. In addition, in a single-digit display of the set value of the contact pressure, only a corresponding display, for example, seven-segment display required.
    The object of the invention is also achieved by an above-mentioned welding device, wherein a database for storing data of the specified parameters together with data of additional parameters relating to the configuration of the welding device together with the respective empirically determined setpoint values of the contact pressure or a calculation rule for calculating the respective target values of the contact pressure is provided, and at least one display for the empirically or mathematically determined setpoint of the contact pressure of each conveyor is provided. For the advantages achieved thereby, reference is made to the above description of the method for determining the setpoint for the contact pressure.
    Preferably, an input device connected to the database is provided for inputting or selecting the data of the specified or known influencing parameters and / or configuration parameters. As already mentioned above, this input device can be formed by the already existing input / output device of the welding device or a separate keyboard or a touchscreen or the like, by which the input or selection of the data of the corresponding parameters is made possible.
    If a device connected to the database is provided for the automatic recognition of the data of the specified parameters and / or configuration parameters, a manual selection of the data of the specified parameters and / or configurations may be performed. • »1» # • * · * · ·· »• * · # On parameters omitted at least partially, thus further simplifying the determination of the target value of the contact pressure.
    For example, the recognition device may be formed by a barcode reader. Thus, for example, the material and the diameter of the welding wire may be contained in the form of a bar code on the wire supply. With the help of a barcode reader, the corresponding data can be forwarded to the database. Of course, any other codes or codes contained in an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag for defining the parameter data and corresponding devices for reading out these codes can also be provided instead of barcodes. The configuration of the welding device can also take place via a network connection, in particular Ethernet connection, with which the individual components of the welding device {conveying device, welding device, welding torch, etc.) are connected to one another and / or to the welding device.
    As already mentioned above, the material and the diameter of the welding wire and possibly the type of conveying rollers of the conveying device can be stored in the database as specified parameters.
    As additional configuration parameters, for example, the number and the positions of the conveying device, the type, number and length of hose packages for guiding the welding wire, and / or the type of at least one conveying device are stored in the database.
    If a device connected to the database for measuring the speed of the welding wire, for example a device for measuring the motor current of the conveyor device, is provided, the actual values of the welding wire feed can be taken into account and thus a control can be established. In this way, consideration can be given to wear of the conveyor device and the corresponding setpoint value of the contact pressure can be corrected as a function of the wear. About an optical or acoustic display device, the
    Exceeding or undershooting threshold values of the measured wire feed speed, for example of the measured motor current, take place in order to alert the welder to the wear of the conveyor device. The optical or acoustic display device does not necessarily have to be contained on the welding device itself, but can also be transmitted via appropriate methods to another location, for example a welding center.
    If each conveyor has a means for automatically adjusting the contact pressure, incorrect adjustments can be prevented by the welder.
    If the database is connected to a corresponding interface, the database data can easily be updated or supplemented remotely. In particular, common interfaces, such as interfaces to a network, in particular the Internet, are particularly suitable for interfaces.
    If each display for the set value of the contact pressure of each conveyor is formed by a single-digit seven-segment display, the device can be carried out in a very cost-effective and space-saving manner. In this way, the display can for example be accommodated on the relatively small welding torch.
    The present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings. Show:
    Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a welding device; 2 shows a schematic view of a welding device with the determination according to the invention of the set value for the contact pressure of the conveyor rollers;
    3 shows a schematic embodiment of a conveying device; and
    4 shows a schematic view of the method for determining the nominal value of the contact pressure of the conveying device of a welding device.
    In Fig. 1 is a welding device 1 for a variety of processes or procedures, such. MIG / MAG, TIG / TIG, electrode, double wire / tandem welding, plasma or soldering, etc. are shown.
    The welding device 1 comprises a power source 2 with a power part 3 arranged therein, a control device 4 and other components and lines, not shown, such as a switching element, control valves, etc. The control device 4 is connected, for example, to a control valve which is located in a supply line for a gas 5, in particular a protective gas, such as CO 2, helium or argon and the like., Between a gas reservoir 6 and a welding torch 7 is arranged.
    In addition, a device 8 for conveying a welding wire 9 from a supply drum 10 or a wire roller into the area of the welding torch 7 can be actuated via the control device 4, as is customary for MIG / MAG welding, for example. Of course, the conveyor device 8 in the welding device 1, in particular in the housing 11 of the power source 2, integrated and not, as shown in Fig. 1, be positioned as an additional device on a carriage 12. The conveyor 8 for the welding wire 9 can also be placed directly on the welding device 1, wherein the housing 11 of the power source 2 is formed at the top for receiving the conveyor 8, and the carriage 12 can be omitted.
    The welding wire 9 can also be supplied to the processing station outside the welding torch 7 by a conveying device 8, wherein a non-consumable electrode is preferably arranged in the welding torch 7, as is usual in TIG / TIG welding.
    The current for constructing an arc 13, in particular a working arc, between the electrode or the welding wire 9 and a workpiece 14 formed from one or more parts is in particular via a welding line (not shown) from the power source 3 of the power source 2, the welding torch 7 the electrode or the welding wire 9, respectively. The workpiece 14, which welds to 11 *, is connected to the current source 2 via a further welding line (not shown) for the further potential, in particular a ground cable, whereby a circuit for a process is established via the arc 13 or a formed plasma jet can. When using a torch with internal arc 13 (not shown) as may be the case with a plasma torch, the two welding lines are led to the burner, so that in the burner a corresponding circuit can be constructed (not shown).
    For cooling the welding torch 7, this is connected via a cooling device 15 with the interposition of any components, such as a flow monitor, with a liquid container, in particular a water tank 16 with a level indicator 17. When the welding torch 7 is started up, the cooling device 15, in particular a liquid pump used for the liquid arranged in the water tank 16, is started, whereby a cooling of the welding torch 7 is effected. As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the cooling device 15 is positioned on the carriage 12, on which then the power source 2 is placed. The individual components of the welding device 1, that is, the current source 2, the wire feed device 8 and the cooling device 15, are designed such that they have corresponding projections or recesses, so that they can be safely stacked on each other or placed on each other.
    The welding device 1, in particular the power source 2, further has an input and / or output device 18, via which the most varied welding parameters, operating modes or welding programs of the welding device 1 can be set or called up and displayed. The welding parameters, operating modes or welding programs set via the input and / or output device 18 are forwarded to the control device 4, and then the individual components of the welding device 1 are controlled or corresponding setpoint values for the control or regulation are specified by the latter. When using a corresponding welding torch 7 and adjusting operations on the welding torch 7 can be made, including the
    Welding torch 7 is equipped with a welding torch input and / or output device 19. In this case, the welding torch 7 is preferably connected to the welding device 1, in particular the current source 2 or the conveying device 8, via a data bus, in particular a serial data bus. To start the welding process, the welding torch 7 usually has a start switch (not shown), by the actuation of which the arc 13 can be ignited. In order to be protected against the radiant heat emanating from the arc 13, the welding torch 7 can be equipped with a heat shield 20.
    In the illustrated embodiment, the welding torch 7 is connected via a hose package 21 with the welding device 1, wherein the hose package 21 may be attached via a bend protection 22 on the welding torch 7. In the hose assembly 21, the individual lines, such as the supply line, lines for the welding wire 9, the gas 5, the cooling circuit, the data transmission, etc., arranged by the welding device 1 to the welding torch 7, whereas the ground cable preferably separately on the Power source 2 is connected. The hose package 21 is preferably connected via a coupling device, not shown, to the power source 2 or the conveyor device 8, whereas the individual lines are secured in the hose assembly 21 with a kink protection on or in the welding torch 7. In order for a corresponding strain relief of the hose assembly 21 is ensured, the hose assembly 21 may be connected via a strain relief device to the housing 11 of the power source 2 or the conveyor device 8 (not shown).
    In principle, not all of the previously named components must be used or used for the different welding methods or welding devices 1, such as TIG devices, MIG / MAG devices or plasma devices. The welding torch 7 can also be designed as an air-cooled welding torch 7 and the cooling device 15 is omitted. The welding device 1 is formed at least by the power source 2, the conveying device 8 and possibly the cooling device 15, wherein these components can also be arranged in a common housing 11. There may be other parts or components, such as a grinding contactor 23 on the wire feeder 8 or an option carrier 24 on a holding device 25 for the gas storage 6 usu., Are arranged.
    The embodiment of a welding device 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 represents only one of many possibilities. In particular, the welding devices 1 can be used with regard to the supply of the welding wire 9, the length of the hose assembly 21, the type, position and number of conveying devices 8 for the welding wire 9, the presence of a wire buffer (not shown) and much more.
    2 schematically shows a welding device 1 with the function according to the invention of determining the setpoint value p50u of the contact pressure of a wire feed device 8. In the illustrated embodiment, above the power source 2 of the welding device 1 there is a supply drum 10 on which the welding wire 9 is wound. Via a first conveying device 8, the welding wire 9 is guided through a hose package 21 to the welding torch 7, where a further conveying device 8 can be arranged. If necessary, a wire buffer (not shown) can be arranged in the hose package 21, which can receive a certain amount of welding wire 9 in the event of the backward movement of the conveying device 8 located in the welding torch 7. According to the invention, a database 26 is now provided in which the data of defined parameters Pi together with data of additional or further parameters Pz concerning the configuration of the welding device 1 together with the respective empirically determined setpoint values pSQn of the contact pressure or a calculation rule for the calculation of the respective setpoint values pson of the contact pressure are stored. The database 26 is usually connected to a computing device 27, for example a microprocessor or a computing device already present in the power source 2 of the welding device 1. Via the input / output device 18 of the welding device 1 or a dedicated input device (not shown), the data of the specified parameters Pi and the data of the additional configuration parameters Pr can be input or selected, whereupon the corresponding setpoint values p3oU of the
    Contact pressure of the conveyor rollers of the conveyors 8 are determined from the database 26 and displayed on one or more displays 28. In the illustrated embodiment, two displays 28 are provided, which are each arranged in the vicinity of the conveying devices 8. The welder can read off the desired value on the respective displays 28 and set them on the conveyors 8.
    With reference to FIG. 3, an embodiment of a conveying device 8 will be explained in more detail. The conveyor device 8 consists of two conveyor rollers 29, 30, of which a conveyor roller 29, the so-called drive roller, is driven by means of a drive motor 31. The welding wire 9 is clamped between the conveyor rollers 29, 30 and usually conveyed in the direction of welding torch 7 (not shown). In order to be able to achieve optimum delivery of the welding wire 9 as a function of the material and diameter of the welding wire 9, a conveying roller 30, the so-called pressure roller, is pressed against the conveying roller 2 9 with a corresponding desired contact pressure psoii. To set the contact pressure psoll, the conveying roller 30 is moved by means of a corresponding adjusting member 32 to the conveying roller 2 9 or away from it. In order to be able to observe the correct setting, a corresponding scale 33 is usually arranged on the conveying device 8. On the display 28, that value is displayed, which is to be set on the scale 33. Intermediate levels may also be displayed on a scale 33 on the display 28 by adjusting the value of the display 28 to the scale 33. For example, a one digit display 28 from 1 to 9 may be fitted to a scale 33 from 1 to 5 such that the displayed value 1 equals 1 on the scale and the displayed value 9 equals 5 on the scale 33.
    According to FIG. 2, the desired nominal value pson of the contact pressure is displayed in the vicinity of the respective conveying device 8, whereupon the welder can adjust this with the aid of the adjusting member 32 on the conveying device 8. Instead of two displays 28, only one display 28 may be provided, at which the setpoint psoii of the contact pressure of both conveying devices 8 are displayed simultaneously or alternately. Accordingly, the setpoint values pson of the contact pressure can also be displayed centrally on the welding device 1 or the current source 2. The time of the display of the setpoint psou of the contact pressure can also be adjustable. For example, the set point psoii of the contact pressure may be displayed when a defined key, such as a "threading in" button, is pressed. is pressed. In the database 26 according to the invention, all combinations or configurations of the welding device 1 as well as all other parameters, by virtue of which the contact pressure on the welding wire can be influenced, are thus stored together with the optimum contact pressure values. After input or selection of the corresponding data of the specified parameters Pi and additional configuration parameters Pz, the optimum set point psoii of the conveying devices 8 is thus determined in a rapid and error-free manner and displayed on the displays 28. In order to facilitate the input or selection of the data of the set parameters Pi or configuration parameters Pz, devices 34 may be provided for the automatic recognition of the data of the specified parameters Pi and / or configuration parameters Pz. These recognition devices 34 may be formed, for example, by a barcode reader. In this way, defined parameters Pi or additional configuration parameters P2, for example the configuration of the welding device 1, can be automatically recognized and supplied to the computing device 27 or database 26. Finally, the database 26 or the computing device 27 can be connected to a corresponding interface 35 via which the data of the database 26 can be updated or supplemented (for example, during a configuration change). A change of configuration is performed, for example, when the curvature of the pipe bend of the welding torch 7, the material of the welding wire 9, the reservoir (barrel or spool), the length of the hose package 21, etc. is changed. The conveying devices 8 remain unchanged, but the change in the configuration of their stress changes, whereby the contact pressure of the conveyor rollers 29, 30 must be adapted to the welding wire 9. This ensures that the contact pressure is set only as high as absolutely necessary in order not to damage the welding wire 9 and still a safe and stable delivery is achieved. From the configuration, therefore, there are the necessary forces which the respective conveyor device 8 must transmit to the welding wire 9 in order to supply the desired amount of welding wire 9 to the welding process and to overcome the opposing forces, such as the brake of the reservoir. By a correct adjustment of the contact pressure of the welding wire 9 is not deformed, facilitates the threading of the welding wire 9 and it is the conveyors 8 (in terms of friction and heat losses) spared and thus increases their life.
    In addition, with the aid of a measuring device 36, the actual conveying speed of the welding wire 9 can be detected. For this purpose, for example, the motor current Im of the drive motors 31 of the conveying devices 8 can be measured. By detecting the corresponding actual values of the wire conveying, a control can be established and consideration can be given to wear, in particular of the conveying rollers 29, 30 of the conveying devices 8. If, despite the setting of the optimum setpoint value pson of the contact pressure, slippage of the welding wire 9 occurs, which indicates wear of the conveyor rollers 29, 30, correction of the contact pressure pson can be carried out within certain limits. In addition, the actual value of the wire feed, for example the motor current Im of the drive 31 of the conveying device 8, can also be compared with predetermined threshold values and in the case of undershooting or exceeding the threshold values, a visual or audible alarm can be carried out or a readjustment of the contact pressure can take place.
    Finally, FIG. 4 shows schematically the mode of operation of the method according to the invention for determining a setpoint psoU for the contact pressure of the conveyor rollers 29, 30 of at least one conveyor 8 for conveying a welding wire 9 of a welding device 1. In this case, the data of the defined parameters Pi are stored in a database 26 stored together with data of additional parameters P2 regarding the configuration of the welding device 1 together with the respective empirically determined setpoint values psoU of the contact pressure or a calculation rule for the calculation of the respective setpoint values pson of the contact pressure. The optimum desired set value pSQ11 of the contact pressure is determined according to the parameter Pi and configuration parameters Pz and displayed on a display 28. This value is set manually by the welder with the aid of a corresponding adjustment device 32 on the conveyor device 8. Theoretically, the adjustment can also be made automatically when the conveyor device 8 has a corresponding adjustment of the contact pressure. In this case, theoretically, the display of the setpoint psoll of the contact pressure of the conveying device 8 would not be mandatory, but recommended for control purposes.
    The present invention is characterized by a particularly precise selection of the respective setpoint values psoil for the contact pressure of the conveyor rollers 29, 30 of the conveyor devices 8 and thus an optimal delivery of the welding wire 9 and optimum welding quality. By using a database 26 it is no longer necessary for the welder to read out the values from tables or diagrams in a complex and error-prone manner.
    In systems with a plurality of conveying devices 8, each conveying device 8 is preferably assigned its own display 28. As can be seen in FIG. 2, a display 28 in the welding device 1 and a further display 28 in the welding torch 7 are arranged for this purpose. If, however, further conveying devices 8 are used, as may be the case, for example, in an intermediate drive in a very long hose package 21, a display 28 is also provided for each of these. Preferably, the display 28 will be positioned as close as possible to the conveyor device 8 in the respective component. It is advantageous if a separate display 28 is used for each conveying device 8, since the conveying devices 8 usually require different pressure settings in the case of multi-drive system systems.
    In the so-called CMT (Cold Metal Transfer) welding process, for example, two different conveying devices 8 are used, wherein those conveying device 8 is designed in the welding device 1 for a conveying direction and promotes the welding wire 9 in the direction of welding torch 7, whereas the further conveying device 8 in the welding torch 7 for a forward / backward movement is formed. This results in different requirements for the two conveying devices 8, so that after recognition of the configuration and setting of the parameters, the setpoint values for the contact pressure of the two conveying devices 8 are automatically determined and displayed on the displays 28. For example, on the display 28 in the welding apparatus 1, a value of " 7 " and on the display 28 in the welding torch 7 a value "3 " be displayed for the contact pressure.
    Of course, the user can save for special welding settings with the respective setpoint for the contact pressure of the conveyor 8 and retrieve it for later welding. Thus, the user can make special welding settings, determine the corresponding values for the contact pressure of one or more conveyors 8 by welding tests and save the entire settings. Thus, the user can save the most common welding settings with the most commonly used components.
    An essential advantage of this automatic system is that actual values of the contact pressure can be taken into account for the determination of the values. For example, the motor current of the conveying device 8 can be used for the detection of the actual value, and the actual value can be compared with the predetermined desired value, and an error message can be output if the deviation is too great. Thus, if necessary, the user can correct the settings for the next weld.
