Patent number: 11897064Abstract: A battery powered welding system is provided. In one welding system a battery powered welder includes control circuitry configured to control a welding power output converted from power from an external battery power source. The battery powered welder also includes a wire drive assembly coupled to the control circuitry and configured to feed a welding wire using power from the external battery power source. The battery powered welder includes a case integrally supporting and enclosing the control circuitry and the wire drive assembly. The case is not configured to enclose the external battery power source.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2020Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Scott Ryan Rozmarynowski, Caleb Robert Krisher, Darrell Lee Sickels

Publication number: 20210101223Abstract: The present disclosure provides a welding system having a welder, a welding gun, and a welding gun adapter, the welding gun being a spool gun with an attached motor. The welding gun adapter receives welding power from the welder, and converts it to output power suitable for driving the motor of the welding gun. The welding gun adapter also uses received welding power from the welder for control power. The present techniques allow for the use of welding guns requiring motor power to be used with any ordinary welder.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2020Publication date: April 8, 2021Inventors: Darrell Lee Sickels, Brian Scott Bashore

Publication number: 20210069814Abstract: Disclosed example power supplies, user interfaces, and methods are provided for simple and intuitive setup for configurable and/or default settings for a welding power source and/or wire feeder. The welding parameters may correspond to a default and/or factory setting that represents empirically adduced values for a particular welding procedure (e.g., based on material type, electrode diameter, welding process and/or tool, etc.). The welding parameters may additionally or alternatively be configured for a particular purpose. Once a configurable setting has been selected, the configurable setting controls the system output. Furthermore, once a configurable set of welding parameters has been established, the operator may return to the default settings by resetting the welding parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Darrell Lee Sickels, Craig Steven Knoener
