Praxair's 24/7 Non-Stop Welding Wire Feeding System

The new 24/7 Non-Stop Welding Wire Feeding System is an automatic switchover device that provides continuous supply of welding wire for the robotic operation. Developed exclusively for the ProStar® 1200 lb Welding Wire PACs, this patent pending system improves efficiency and maximizes profitability.

How It Works
A butt-welding machine joins the wire-end of the primary wire pack to the wire-start of the next full pack -- this process only takes a few seconds. When the primary pack is empty, the boom automatically switches from the primary pack to the reserve pack, without any operator intervention. After replacing the original pack with a new full pack, this operation is then repeated again and again, allowing a continuous, uninterrupted supply.

The 24/7 system helps you: » Increase Productivity -- eliminate wire pack changeover downtime (labor and equipment), and repairs caused by out-of-wire interruption » Improve Profitability -- allow 24 x 7 utilization of robots and automatic setups » Maximize Savings -- particularly useful and convenient in multi-robot cells operation » Save Floor Space -- wire pack can be located up to 150 feet from the robot cell » Just-In-Time Inventory -- receive your new pack of wire only when you need it (see below)
