TPSi wire buffer
General As its name implies, the wire buffer
acts as a buffer zone for the rapid re-
versing movements of the wire elec-
trode needed during the CMT welding
process.
The wire buffer can also be used to
help coordinate two drive systems that
work in different ways. The rear drive
system steadily feeds the wire elec-
trode into the wire buffer, while the
front highly dynamic drive motor
moves it to and fro up to 70 times per
second.
The wire electrode is therefore fed to
the front drive unit with hardly any
force being applied, thus guaranteeing
a high-quality welding process.
The wire buffer is suitable for mounting on the side arm or on the balancer.
