US Patent:

8225977, Jul 24, 2012
Filed:

Mar 8, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/794872
Inventors:

Andreu P. Meckler - Euclid OH, US
Assignee:

Lincoln Global, Inc. - City of Industry CA
International Classification:

B65H 51/10
US Classification:

226 1, 226 25, 226181, 226188
Abstract:

A wire feeder for an electric arc welder comprising feed rolls driven by an electric motor for moving a welding wire toward a workpiece for an arc welding process. The motor is rotated at a speed determined by a WFS signal from a controller when energized by actuation of a start switch, a switch network has a first condition allowing the motor to operate at the speed determined by the WFS signal and a second override condition forcing the motor to rotate at a fixed lower speed, a toggle circuit with a first position to shift the switch network into the second condition upon actuation of the motor start switch and a second position to shift the switch network to the first condition upon receipt of a toggle signal, and a device to create the toggle signal when the load current to the motor exceeds a given value.

US Patent:

20080296278, Dec 4, 2008
Filed:

May 31, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/755821
Inventors:

Andreu P. Meckler - Mentor OH, US
Assignee:

LINCOLN GLOBAL, INC. - City of Industry CA
International Classification:

B23K 9/12
US Classification:

21913771
Abstract:

An automatic wire feed adjuster, including a feeding mechanism including a pair of rollers that feeds a wire therebetween, a tension controller that adjusts a tension between the pair of rollers, a wire speed sensor that measures a fed speed of the wire after exiting the feeding mechanism, and a control circuit that compares a driven speed of the wire with the fed speed of the wire, and that decides whether to instruct the tension controller to adjust the tension between the pair of rollers.

Filed:

Oct 22, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/256041
Inventors:

David J. Nangle - Loveland OH, US
Andreu P. Meckler - Mentor OH, US
Robert Henson - Loveland OH, US
Assignee:

LINCOLN GLOBAL, INC. - Industry CA
International Classification:

B23K 1/00
US Classification:

228 41
Abstract:

A semi-automatic brazing apparatus having a brazing wire feeding apparatus containing a brazing wire feed mechanism a controller, and a user input device.

Filed:

Jun 2, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/476511
Inventors:

Andreu P. MECKLER - Mentor OH, US
Keith CLARK - Mentor OH, US
Edward ENYEDY - Eastlake OH, US
Assignee:

LINCOLN GLOBAL, INC. - City of Industry CA
International Classification:

B23K 9/10
B23K 9/00
US Classification:

2191301, 219136
Abstract:

A wire drive system includes a wire feed motor for feeding welding wire in a continuous welding process. The wire drive system further includes a controller connected to the wire feed motor for driving the motor responsive to a command signal. The controller is capable of detecting the source of power from which the wire feed motor is driven wherein a first possible source of power is taken from the welding arc and wherein a second possible source of power is taken from the welding power supply.

Appl. No.:

12/648385
Inventors:

Samir F. Farah - Broadview Heights OH, US
Andreu P. Meckler - Mentor OH, US
Assignee:

LINCOLN GLOBAL, INC. - City of Industry CA
International Classification:

B23K 9/10
US Classification:

219133
Abstract:

An engine welder having a single rotor and a single stator, and methods of distributing electrical power capacity of the engine welder to various welding windings and auxiliary windings of the engine welder. The single rotor is driven at saturation current and independent control of the welding outputs is accomplished on the stator side of the engine welder. Means for supplying the full electrical power capacity of the engine welder to a single stator welding winding are provided. Furthermore, means for distributing the electrical power capacity of the engine welder between welding windings and/or auxiliary windings of the single stator are provided.

US Patent:

20180207741, Jul 26, 2018
Filed:

Jan 25, 2017
Appl. No.:

15/414727
Inventors:

- City of Industry CA, US
Andreu P. Meckler - Mentor OH, US
Adam M. Hruska - Chardon OH, US
International Classification:

B23K 9/10
B23K 9/095
H02J 7/00
Abstract:

Embodiments of welding systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a welding power source includes a welding output connector and a battery output connector. Power electronics of the welding power source provide welding power at the welding output connector or battery power at the battery output connector. A current sensor senses when an electric current is flowing through a cable connected to the welding output connector or the battery output connector and outputs a voltage to the controller of the welding power source that is indicative of the electric current as sensed. The controller of the welding power source includes safety logic that determines when an unsafe condition of the welding power source exists based on at least the voltage from the current sensor.
