  • Method for the control and/or regulation of a welding process
    Patent number: 6930280
    Abstract: The invention describes a method of controlling and/or regulating a welding process, whereby, when an arc (15) has been ignited, a set welding process based on several different welding parameters is run. The welding process is controlled and/or regulated by a control system (4) and/or a welding current source (2). The welding apparatus (1) is switched during the welding process and is switched in particular between operating states and/or functions and/or operating modes and/or welding parameters and/or welding programmes by means of a defined movement of the welding torch.

  • Remote regulation unit for a welding apparatus or a power source
    Patent number: 6570132
    Abstract: The invention describes a method of operating a data exchange between an external component, in particular a remote control unit (23), and a welding unit (1), in particular a current source. A serial data exchange is run between a welding unit (1), in particular a current source, and an external component, in particular a remote control unit (23), directly across the welding lines, in particular across the connecting lines (36) to the welding torch (10) and to the workpiece (16), on the basis of digital levels.
