Technical Field
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to fill wire feed monitoring systems and methods, and more particularly to systems and methods for continuously monitoring fill wire feed parameters.
Background
During a welding operation, it is often advantageous and necessary to monitor the speed at which a filler wire is fed through a welding torch to the area being welded. This speed is commonly referred to as the "wire feed speed". If the wire feed speed is known, the wire feed speed can be used to determine if the wire feeding apparatus is operating properly and/or if there are issues that may be detrimental to the welding operation. Further, if the wire feed speed is measured continuously during the welding operation, real-time adjustments to the wire feed apparatus and/or to the welding gun may be made in order to optimize the welding operation.
Undesirable variations in wire feed speed may be due to worn or contaminated wire pads in the welding torch, worn or contaminated contact tips of the welding torch, and/or slippage of wire drive rollers in the wire feeding apparatus. For example, a certain amount of contaminants (e.g., particulates) may accumulate on the wire pad of the welding gun over time, thereby increasing friction between the wire pad and the filler wire fed through the welding gun. This increase in friction may cause significant fluctuations in wire feed speed and, in some cases, may cause the wire to buckle. These problems may be exacerbated if the filler wire is made of a difficult-to-feed alloy, such as aluminum.
As manufacturing standards continue to increase, so does the need for welding systems that can reliably provide uniform, high quality welds. It would therefore be advantageous to provide a system and method for accurately monitoring wire feed parameters, including wire feed speed, so that undesirable variations in such parameters can be detected and corrected to achieve a uniform, high quality weld throughout the welding operation.

Referring now to fig. 4, a schematic diagram of a system 400 for monitoring a wire feeding apparatus is shown, consistent with a non-limiting, exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The system 400 of fig. 4 may include features and/or components substantially similar to those of the welding apparatus 100 (fig. 1) described above, including features and/or components of the welding gun 130 (fig. 2) and the welding apparatus housing 107 (fig. 3). For example, system 400 may include control module 470, wire feeding apparatus 410, welding gun 430, and power supply 450, and control module 470, wire feeding apparatus 410, welding gun 430, and power supply 450 may be substantially similar to
The wire feed apparatus 410 may include a motor 412 and a motor encoder 414. In various embodiments, the current drawn by the motor 412 may cause the motor 412 to rotate the drive roller 416. Active roller 416 may advance filled wire 404 toward torch tip 434. In the illustrated embodiment, the motor encoder 414 may measure the rate of rotation of the motor 412. In various embodiments, the rate of rotation of the motor 412 may be used in conjunction with the gear ratio and/or the diameter of the drive roller 416 to determine a feed rate parameter for the application of the filled wire 404. In some embodiments, the rate of rotation may be an applied feed rate parameter. As will be appreciated, the encoder may be included on or used to measure aspects of components other than the motor 412 without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, so long as the encoder measures an amount that may be correlated to the rotation of the drive roller 416 to determine the feed rate at which the application of the wire fill 404. For example, the encoder may be assembled on a drive train or gear train mechanism to achieve the same function.
In some embodiments, torch 430 may include torch encoder 442. Torch encoder 442 may measure the rate at which filled wire 404 exits torch tip 434. In various embodiments, this rate may be referred to as the actual feed rate or actual feed rate parameter. Thus, slippage between active roller 416 and fill wire 404 may cause a difference between the applied feed rate parameter and the actual feed rate parameter. In some embodiments, motor encoder 414 may be used as the primary encoder for determining the wire feed speed, and gun encoder 442 may be used for control/supervision. In other embodiments, torch encoder 442 may be used as the primary encoder in some welding configurations.
In various embodiments, control module 470 may be responsible for monitoring and implementing one or more functions of system 400, such as identifying slippage between active roller 416 and fill wire 404. In another example, the control module 470 may determine the current drawn by the motor 412, calculate an applied feed force parameter based on the current drawn by the motor, and update the error status indicator based on a comparison of the applied feed force parameter to a threshold feed force parameter. In yet another example, the control module 470 may calculate an applied feed force parameter using the torque sensor measurements and update the error status indicator based on a comparison of the applied feed force parameter to a threshold feed force parameter. This and other functional aspects of the control module 470 will be described in more detail below.
The control module 470 may have a number of components communicatively coupled to each other, including a processor 472, a non-transitory computer-readable medium 474, and a tag reader 475. Processor 472 may communicate with one or more components of wire feeding apparatus 410, power source 450, and welding gun 430 via first communication link 476, second communication link 478, or third communication link 480, respectively. In some embodiments, the control module 470 may monitor and implement one or more functions of the system 400 based on characteristics of the components of the system 400.
Tag reader 475 may be communicatively coupled with spool identification tag 403, roller identification tag 418, and/or gun identification tag 433. Tag reader 475 may retrieve information stored on spool identification tag 403 and gun identification tag 433, respectively, via first reader communication link 484 and second reader communication link 486. Further, the tag reader 475 may retrieve information stored in the roller identification tag 418 via another reader communication link (not shown) or via the first communication link 476. In some embodiments, one or more of these communication links may be wireless.
In various embodiments, the information stored on spool identification label 403 may include one or more fill wire characteristics, the information stored on gun identification label 433 may include one or more gun characteristics, and the information stored on roller identification label 418 may include one or more roller characteristics. For example, spool identification tag 403 may contain information identifying one or more of the diameter of filled wire 404 wound around spool 402 or the type of filled wire 404. In another example, weld gun identification tag 433 may contain information identifying one or more of the type of weld gun 430 or the length of weld gun 430. In further examples, the roller identification tag 418 may contain information identifying one or more of a diameter, a groove form, a gear ratio, a conversion factor, and/or a transfer function of the roller. In various embodiments described herein, control module 470 may implement one or more functions of system 400 based on information retrieved by tag reader 475.
The tag reader 475 may wirelessly communicate with one or more of the tags 403, 418, 433 to retrieve information contained on the tags 403, 418, 433. In one non-limiting example, the disclosed wireless communication within tag reader 475 may include any of a variety of suitable Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies, including but not limited to Near Field Communication (NFC) technologies. In one arrangement, sometimes referred to as an Active Reader Passive Tag (ARPT) system, a reader may interrogate tags by sending a signal to the tags. The tag derives energy from the signal transmitted by the reader and uses that energy to respond to the reader with identification information. In another arrangement, often referred to as an Active Reader Active Tag (ARAT) system, the reader sends a signal to the tag requesting a return signal including identification information. The tag receives the signal and replies to the signal using an internal energy source. In a third arrangement, known as a Passive Reader Active Tag (PRAT) system, the tag uses an internal energy source to send a signal to the passive reader. This signal may include identification information. Passive readers only receive a signal and do not interrogate the tag. Alternative embodiments may use a personal area network (e.g.,
) Bar code or biometric identification techniques.In some embodiments, the system 400 may not include a tag reader 475 and/or one or more of the identification tags 403, 418, 433. In some such embodiments, one or more of the fill wire characteristic, the roller characteristic, or the torch characteristic may be identified based on input received via user interface 490. In various embodiments, one or more of the fill wire characteristics, the roller characteristics, or the torch characteristics may have been stored in non-transitory computer readable medium 474. For example, one or more roller characteristics may be stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium 474 at the time of manufacture.
As previously mentioned, the control module 470 may be responsible for monitoring and implementing one or more functions of the system 400. In some embodiments, the processor 472 of the control module 470 may determine a number of parameters of the system 400, including one or more of an actual feed rate parameter, an applied feed force parameter, a threshold feed force parameter, and a desired feed rate parameter. In various embodiments, one or more operational aspects of the system 400 may be altered by the control module 470 based on one or more of the actual feed rate parameter, the applied feed force parameter, the threshold feed force parameter, and the desired feed rate parameter. For example, the processor 472 may increase the voltage supplied to the motor 412 in response to the applied feed rate parameter falling below the desired feed rate parameter.
In various embodiments, the actual feed rate parameter may be determined by processor 472 through gun encoder 442 as the rate at which filled wire 404 exits gun tip 434. The feed rate parameters applied may be determined by processor 472 from the rate of rotation measured by motor encoder 414 and one or more roller characteristics such as diameter, gear ratio, conversion factor, groove form, transfer function, etc. of drive roller 416. In some embodiments, the applied feed rate parameter may include the rotational speed of active roller 416. In various embodiments, the diameter of the active roller 416 may be determined via the roller identification tag 418. In various embodiments, the applied feed force parameter may be determined by the processor 472 based on the current drawn by the motor 412. In some embodiments, the applied feed force parameter may be determined using the
The ideal feed rate parameter and threshold feed force parameter may be determined by consulting an ideal/threshold parameter data store regarding one or more characteristics of the components of system 400, such as fill wire type, fill wire diameter, torch type, and torch length. The ideal/threshold parameter data store may include threshold feed force parameters and ideal feed rate parameters for all combinations of fill wire type, fill wire diameter, torch type, and torch length. In the illustrated embodiment, the non-transitory computer readable medium 474 may store a desired parameter data store. In some embodiments, the ideal parameter data store may comprise a component matrix (component matrix).
The processor 472 may compare the desired or threshold feed rate parameter to the applied or applied feed rate parameter to alter one or more operating parameters of the system 400, such as by updating an error status indicator (e.g., the user interface 490) or altering the supplied voltage. By comparing the ideal/threshold parameters to the applied parameters, the processor 472 can determine whether the system 400 is operating within recommended or predetermined specifications. For example, if the applied feed force parameter is found to be above the threshold feed force parameter, then an error condition such as an excessively high fill wire feed force may exist. In another example, if the applied feed rate parameter is found to be below the ideal feed rate parameter, the voltage supplied to the motor 412 may be increased by the control module 470. In some embodiments, an operation outside of recommended or predetermined specifications may be indicative of a mechanical failure within system 400. In some such embodiments, the mechanical failure may include one or more of contamination, a failed wire bond pad, or other component performance issues.
In various embodiments, the processor 472 may compare the actual feed rate parameter to the applied feed rate parameter or the applied feed force parameter to update the second error status indicator. In various such embodiments, the second error status indicator may be the same as the error status indicator (e.g., the user interface 490 may include multiple error status indicators). By comparing the actual feed rate parameter to the applied parameter, the processor 472 can determine whether the system 400 is suffering from a mechanical failure. Mechanical failures may include one or more of filled wire slip at the active roller, faulty wire pad, or other component performance issues. For example, if the actual feed rate is less than the applied parameter, the wire bond pad may be contaminated or dirty, indicating an error condition. In various embodiments, detection of an error condition may cause processor 472 to adjust the amount of power supplied by power supply 450 to one or more components of wire feeding apparatus 410, welding gun 430, and control module 470.
In some embodiments, the processor 472 may be communicatively coupled to the user interface 490 to indicate an error in the system 400 as part of updating the error status indicator. In some such embodiments, the user interface 490 may generate one or more of an audio signal, a visual signal, or a tactile signal to indicate the error. In various embodiments, the message may be displayed on the user interface 490 in response to being part of, or in conjunction with, the update error status indicator. In various such embodiments, the message may identify the cause of the error, the potential component causing the error, and/or the potential instructions to resolve the error. An exemplary message identifying the cause of the error may be "high wire feed force detected". An exemplary message identifying potential components causing the error may be "wire slip detected at active roller". An exemplary message identifying potential instructions to resolve the error may include: "replace wire pad", "check for obstacles on the torch", and "check for loops on the torch".
The user interface 490 may receive input to view, adjust, and/or set one or more parameters of the system 400. For example, the user may scroll through multiple messages associated with the error condition via a suitable input to the user interface 490. In some embodiments, the user interface 490 may be used to override errors. In various embodiments, the user interface 490 may be used to identify one or more component characteristics of the system 400. For example, the user interface 490 may include a touch screen to enable a user to input one or more component characteristics of the system 400. In some embodiments, the user interface 490 may include one or more of a display, a Graphical User Interface (GUI), a set of mechanical interfaces (e.g., switches, knobs, buttons, keys, etc.), a speaker, a Light Emitting Diode (LED), or a vibrator.
In some embodiments, control module 470 may be a computer system. Such a computer system may comprise a computer, an input device, a display unit and an interface for e.g. accessing the internet. The computer may include a microprocessor. The microprocessor may be connected to a communication bus. The computer may also include a memory (e.g., non-transitory computer readable medium 474). The memory may include Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM). The computer system may also include a storage device, which may be a hard disk drive or a removable storage drive such as a floppy disk drive, optical disk drive, and the like. The storage device may also be other similar means for loading computer programs or other instructions into the computer system.
The computer system executes a set of instructions stored in one or more storage elements to process input data, such as sensor data from encoders 414, 442. The storage element may also store data or other information (e.g., desired parameter data storage) as desired or needed. The storage elements may be physical memory elements or information sources within the processing machine.
The set of instructions may include various commands that instruct the computer as a processing machine to perform specific operations such as the methods and processes of the various embodiments of the invention. The set of instructions may be in the form of a software program. The software may be in various forms, such as system software or application software. Further, the software may take the form of a collection of separate programs, a program module within a larger program or a portion of a program module. The software may also include modular programming in the form of object-oriented programming. The processing of input data by a processing machine (e.g., processor 472) may be in response to a user command, or in response to the results of a previous process, or in response to a request made by another processing machine.
As used herein, the term "software" includes any computer program stored in memory for execution by a computer, such memory including RAM memory, ROM memory, EPROM memory, EEPROM memory, and non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) memory. The above memory types are exemplary only, and are thus non-limiting as to the types of memory usable for storage of a computer program.
