4.2 Wire feed control unit structure and function
With mX kinetic welding, the wire feed control unit enables low-spatter welding at a high speed with low
heat input. The ignition process is optimized for low spatter and the high-quality welding with bead size
control enables a high-quality welding result. The arc is controlled in real time.
4.3 Structure and function of the wire feed systems
Push Feeder KINETIC
The Push Feeder KINETIC is part of the wire feeder system. The Push Feeder KINETIC has a 2-roll drive and
is solely used for wire feeding. The 2-roll drive feeds the welding wire at a constant wire speed. The speed
is controlled by the Controller KINETIC Wire feed control unit.
