Do You Know What Is The Wire Feeding Method Of Welding Robot

In the process of using a welding robot for MIG/MAG welding, the wire feeding process is basically done in one step. That is because the welding robot is equipped with an automated wire feeding system, including wire feeding, wire feeding hose, and wire reel. The welding wire is sent to the designated position through perfect configuration.

The wire feeding system of the welding robot can feed wire in three different ways. One is the push wire type. This structure is relatively simple, light, and easy to operate and maintain, but the resistance of the welding wire is relatively large. The lengthening of the wire feeding hose makes the wire feeding stability worse. Therefore, this wire feeding method is usually used in semi-automatic MIG welding with a wire diameter of 2.0mm and a wire feeding hose length of 5m.

Another wire feeding method used in the welding robot wire feeding system is the wire drawing type, which separates the wire reel and the welding gun so that the two are connected by a wire feeding hose. The other is to install the wire reel directly on the welding gun. Both of these are suitable for thin wire semi-automatic MIG welding. The diameter of the welding wire is less than or equal to 0.8mm, and the wire feeding is relatively stable.

There is also a push-draw wire feeding method, which is also a working method used in the welding robot wire feeding system. This wire feeding system has both a wire pushing machine and a wire drawing machine. The wire pushing is the main driving force and the wire drawing is the Wire straightening. Although its wire feeding hose can be lengthened to 10m, it is not used much in practice due to its complicated structure.

Wire feeding is one of the indispensable operating links in the welding process, so it must be handled properly, and this aspect should also be taken into account when designing the welding robot, so that the wire feeding system can meet the actual welding needs.
