Provided is a disclosure for a multi-attachment accessory holder that includes a main body configured to couple a first side of the main body to an accessory device. The main body is configured to hold a magnet, and the main body includes one or more coupling points for attaching an ancillary accessory.

Systems and methods for welding asset tracking are disclosed. In some examples, a welding asset tracking system may comprise an asset tracking network of tags, hubs, and/or gateways retained by welding assets within a welding area. The asset tracking network may obtain and/or communicate to an asset tracking server welding data related to one or more of the welding assets, as well as position data obtained via an internal and/or external positioning system. In this way, the welding asset tracking server may continually receive updated information regarding each welding assets identity, location, and/or use. The asset tracking server may additionally send a command to a selected welding asset that causes an interface of the selected welding asset to emit an output that enables an operator to physically identify the welding asset.

Provided is a disclosure for a welding system with a display device configured to display an electronic parameter chart for use in setting up the welding system for use.

A welding system (1) comprising a main module (2) equipped with an external casing (3) in which an inlet port (4) for the connection to an external electric power source, an electric generator (5) configured to adapt the electrical characteristics of the electric power received at the inlet to a first type of welding, an outlet port (6) for the connection by means of an electric conductor (10) to a welding torch (20) and an electronic control unit (7) configured to control the functionality of the electric generator (5) are identified. The welding system also comprises a welding torch (20) configured to be connected by means of the electrical conductor (10) to the outlet port (6).

A robotic welding systems and related methods are described. In some embodiments, a robotic welding system may generate a target trajectory based at least partly on a trajectory of a welding torch during manual operation of the welding torch; and operate one or more actuators of the system to control movement of the welding torch based at least partly on the target trajectory.

Various welding systems that provide communication over auxiliary or weld power lines are provided. The disclosed embodiments may include a multi-process welding power supply that is communicatively coupled to a pendant via an auxiliary conduit that facilitates the exchange of data and power between components of the welding system. In some embodiments, the pendant may also include auxiliary outlets that allow an operator to power auxiliary devices at the weld location. The disclosed embodiments further include a pendant with a wire spool and wire feeder drive circuitry that is configured to activate spooling during MIG welding. Embodiments are provided that also allow for bidirectional data communication over a power line in networked welding systems.

The present application teaches systems and methods for automating all or portions of a construction process including the steps of locating stud welding locations on the surface of an I-beam, I-beam grinding, ferrule placement, stud placement and welding to ground welding sites, and ferrule fracturing.

A pressure welding method and a pressure welding device (1) are provided. The pressure welding device (1) includes a plastification device (7), an upsetting device (8) and component mountings (34,35,36,37) for the components (2,3,3′,4) to be welded together and a machine frame (12). The pressure welding device (1) further includes a plurality of machine heads (13,14), each having a component mount (34,35), which machine heads are movably arranged on the machine frame and are connected to respective upsetting drives (22). The machine heads (13,14) and respective upsetting drives (22) can be independently driven. An upsetting head or support head (27), which is preferably secured on the frame, is arranged between the machine heads (13,14).

A welding-type control system including configurable hardware, a hardware configuration memory device that configures the configurable hardware when loaded with configuration data, a processor, an input portal via which the processor can receive a file with the configuration data, and a memory with instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to transfer the configuration data in the file to the memory device. A controlled system including such a welding-type control system includes a welding system, a cladding system or a plasma cutting system.

A welding system includes a welding station having a weld station computer and a weld system in communication with the weld station computer. The weld system includes a supply of weld material, a welding device, and a weld supply motor assembly that moves the weld material to the welder device. The system further includes a weighting device operatively connected with the weld station computer to measure a weight of the supply of weld material and to communicate the weight of the supply of weld material to the weld station computer; and a sensor operatively connected with the weld supply motor assembly and the weld station computer so as to communicate the speed of the weld supply motor assembly to the weld station computer. The weld station computer is operatively connected to the weld supply motor assembly to control the speed of the motor assembly based on the weight data.
