  • Patent number: 11826862
    Abstract: A system and device operating using a welding power bus are provided. One welding power supply includes control circuitry configured to control the operation of the welding power supply and power conversion circuitry configured to convert input power to output welding power. The welding power supply also includes welding terminals configured to receive the output welding power from the power conversion circuitry and to provide the output welding power to a device that does not use the welding power for a welding operation. The control circuitry is configured to adapt the output welding power to the device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9463523
    Abstract: A welding wire feeder includes a welding wire feed drive configured to drive welding wire towards a welding application and wire feed control circuitry coupled to the welding wire feed drive. The wire feed control circuitry is also configured to control the drive of welding wire towards the welding application. The welding wire feeder also includes power conversion circuitry and welding process control circuitry coupled to the power conversion circuitry. The power conversion circuitry is configured to receive input power from a welding power source and to convert the input power to controlled waveform welding output. The welding process control circuitry is configured to provide control signals for conversion of the input power to the controlled waveform welding output. The welding wire feeder also includes a process operator interface coupled to the welding process control circuitry and configured to permit operator selection of a controlled waveform welding process.
