Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method related to detection of a silent arc. The apparatus comprises an auto-darkening LCD element and circuitry for controlling the auto-darkening LCD element. A light detector detects intensity of incident light as a function of time and generates a detection signal on basis of the detected intensity of incident light. A signal processing circuitry processes the detection signal for generating a silent arc indication signal indicating presence of a silent arc when amplitude of the detection signal in a predetermined frequency range characteristic to a silent arc is above a predetermined threshold value. An activation circuitry activates darkening of the auto-darkening LCD element when presence of the silent arc is indicated by the silent arc indication signal.

The present invention relates to a sliding control for adjusting a value of a parameter via a computer-implemented user interface. The user interface comprises a display apparatus and an input apparatus. Input is received from the user with the input apparatus. The input comprises a single, moveable focal point in an input area defined by the display apparatus. The sliding control comprises a first line indicating a radial direction from a fixed center along a plane defined by the display apparatus for visualizing an operative connection between the control element and the focal point. Movement of the focal point is configured to be projected to a movement of the control element of the sliding control on basis of a directional angle defined between a reference line in the plane traveling through the fixed center and the direction of the first line defined by the focal point. The value of the parameter is adjusted on basis of the movement of the control element.

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a sensor apparatus and a method for measuring the flow rate of a shielding gas in a welding apparatus. The sensor apparatus comprises at least one inlet and at least one outlet in fluid connection with one or more bypass channels and with one or more sensor channels, and at least one input hose and one output hose. The apparatus also comprises one or more thermal mass flow sensors connected to the one or more sensor channels, and a control unit configured to retrieve sensor responses from the one or more thermal mass flow sensors and to determine the flow rate of the shielding gas through the sensor apparatus based on the retrieved sensor response and calibration data, wherein the calibration data comprises one or more characteristic curves comprising gas flow values and sensor response values. The control unit is configured to retrieve from a memory unit: the composition of the shielding gas; the number of active thermodynamic degrees of freedom which the molecules of each gas component in the shielding gas possess at the retrieved shielding gas temperature; a characteristic curve for each gas component separately, which consists of sensor response data as a function of gas flow rate, measured in a calibration experiment conducted with a pure gas consisting only of that gas component. The control unit is configured to calculate a new, mixture-specific characteristic curve for the gas mixture as a weighted average of the pure-gas characteristic curves, wherein the weight assigned to each value on a pure-gas characteristic curve is a product of the concentration percentage of that gas component in the shielding gas mixture and the number of active thermodynamic degrees of freedom which the molecules of that gas component possess at the retrieved shielding gas temperature; and to use the mixture-specific characteristic curve as the characteristic curve for the shielding gas mixture by retrieving from this characteristic curve the calibration gas flow rate which corresponds most closely to the retrieved new sensor response; and to identify this flow rate as the current flow rate of the shielding gas through the sensor apparatus. The sensor apparatus also comprises a display unit configured to display the determined flow rate of the shielding gas to a user and/or a memory unit for storing the determined flow rate of the shielding gas.

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a sensor apparatus and a method for measuring the flow rate of a shielding gas in a welding apparatus. The sensor apparatus comprises at least one inlet and at least one outlet in fluid connection with one or more bypass channels and with one or more sensor channels, and at least one input hose and one output hose. The apparatus also comprises one or more thermal mass flow sensors connected to the one or more sensor channels, and a control unit configured to retrieve sensor responses from the one or more thermal mass flow sensors and to determine the flow rate of the shielding gas through the sensor apparatus based on the retrieved sensor response and calibration data, wherein the calibration data comprises one or more characteristic curves comprising gas flow values and sensor response values. The control unit is configured to retrieve from a memory unit: the composition of the shielding gas; the number of active thermodynamic degrees of freedom which the molecules of each gas component in the shielding gas possess at the retrieved shielding gas temperature; a characteristic curve for each gas component separately, which consists of sensor response data as a function of gas flow rate, measured in a calibration experiment conducted with a pure gas consisting only of that gas component. The control unit is configured to calculate a new, mixture-specific characteristic curve for the gas mixture as a weighted average of the pure-gas characteristic curves, wherein the weight assigned to each value on a pure-gas characteristic curve is a product of the concentration percentage of that gas component in the shielding gas mixture and the number of active thermodynamic degrees of freedom which the molecules of that gas component possess at the retrieved shielding gas temperature; and to use the mixture-specific characteristic curve as the characteristic curve for the shielding gas mixture by retrieving from this characteristic curve the calibration gas flow rate which corresponds most closely to the retrieved new sensor response; and to identify this flow rate as the current flow rate of the shielding gas through the sensor apparatus. The sensor apparatus also comprises a display unit configured to display the determined flow rate of the shielding gas to a user and/ or a memory unit for storing the determined flow rate of the shielding gas.

Abstract

The invention relates to an arrangement and a method in a wire feeding device (L) comprising a frame (1), a hub system (2) arranged to the frame (1) for winding a wire coil (3), and a wire feeding mechanism (4) for pulling the welding wire (10) from the wire coil (3) such that the wire coil (3) rotates in the unwinding direction and for feeding the welding wire (10) through the wire feeding mechanism (4) to a welding torch (5). In the method, in the wire feeding starting stage, the wire feeding mechanism (4) pulls the welding wire (10) into motion and, in the wire feeding stopping stage, the wire feeding mechanism (4) stops pulling the welding wire (10). The hub system (2) comprises means for storing energy, said means for storing energy being adapted to store energy as the wire feeding mechanism (4) starts to pull the welding wire (10) from the wire coil (3) in the unwinding direction such that, when the wire feeding mechanism (4) stops pulling the welding wire (10), the stored energy is adapted to be released, pulling the wire coil (3) in the winding direction, which is the opposite direction in relation to the unwinding direction.
