SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATIC RANGE CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18666339 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATIC RANGE CONTROL
The abstract of the patent application describes an output control system for a welding-type power supply. This system includes contactors associated with different weld output ranges, an input device to select a weld output value, and a control circuit to adjust the weld output based on the selected value.
- The output control system includes a first contactor for a first weld output range and a second contactor for a second weld output range.
- An input device allows the selection of a weld output value from the available ranges.
- A control circuit manages the contactors based on the selected weld output value and adjusts the weld output accordingly.
Potential Applications: - Industrial welding processes - Manufacturing applications requiring precise weld output control
Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate and efficient control of weld output - Allows for flexibility in selecting different weld output values
Benefits: - Improved welding quality - Enhanced control over welding processes - Increased efficiency and productivity in welding operations
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Welding Power Supply Output Control System" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction for welding applications. It can improve the quality and efficiency of welding processes, leading to cost savings and higher productivity.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the output control system improve the efficiency of welding processes? - The system allows for precise control over the weld output, ensuring optimal performance and quality in welding operations. 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of implementing this technology in industrial settings? - By improving the quality and efficiency of welding processes, companies can reduce rework and increase productivity, leading to cost savings in the long run.
Original Abstract Submitted
An output control for a welding-type power supply includes a first contactor associated with a first weld output range. A second contactor associated with a second weld output range. An input device configured to select a weld output value from the first weld output range and the second weld output range. A control circuit configured to control the first contactor and the second contactor based on a selected weld output value, and adjust a weld output based on the selected weld output value of the input device.
