The system includes a pair of sensors on the exterior of the drum and which illuminate a light in one color to indicate a sufficient supply of weld wire and then a second color to indicate a low or depleted level of weld wire within the drum. The sensor system will start and stop the welding operation, depending upon the level of weld wire within the drum. The system can also send a notification to a remote operator as to the level of wire in the drum. | 2021-02-25 |
20210053140 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS PROVIDING A TORCH THAT PRESENTS AS A GENUINE MANUFACTURER TORCH TO A POWER SOURCE - Embodiments of welding and cutting systems are disclosed. A welding or cutting system includes a power source to provide electrical power for a welding or cutting process. The system includes a torch having a cryptographic device, and is to be used with the power source during the process and communicate with the power source. The cryptographic device is configured to receive an encryption key seeded by the power source during first time power-on initialization of the welding power source or after the torch is replaced. The cryptographic device is configured to store an unlock code associated with the power source, generate an encrypted message, which includes the unlock code, based on the encryption key, and communicate the encrypted message to the power source. The power source is configured to cease further operation unless the power source determines the torch to be a genuine manufacturer torch based on the unlock code. | 2021-02-25 |
20210053141 | PLASMA CUTTING MACHINE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PLASMA CUTTING MACHINE - A plasma torch moves to a piercing position. The plasma torch generates a plasma arc and starts a piercing step at the piercing position. Whether the piercing step is completed is determined based on the arc voltage. The plasma torch is held at the piercing position in the horizontal direction from the start of the piercing step until the completion of the piercing step. The plasma torch is moved in a predetermined direction including at least the horizontal direction after the piercing step is completed. | 2021-02-25 |
