Section II
Introduction
The cold wire feeder is designed to supply filler
metal to the weld puddle in a mechanized tung-
sten arc welding application. The system will
accurately feed 0.020”, 0.030”, 0.035”, 0.045”,
0.062” and 0.093” (0.5 to 2.4 mm) hard and soft
wires for mechanized TIG or plasma welding.
The wire feeder can be mounted as an assembly
or the components can be removed from the
mounting plate and installed in a number of
positions with respect to each other.
The system consists of a 9629 control, D.C.
motor-driven four feed roll assembly, spool
adapter, and a wire guide positioner. The
positioner incorporates X-Y-Z movements of
the wire tip. The positioner includes a universal
torch mounting bracket.
The basic components of the wire feeder are:
(See Figure 1)
1.
Wire drive unit: consists of motor, drive
housing, and wire spool assembly to feed
wire. (Part number CWF-50-DA.)
2. 9629 Control: includes a keypad, display,
encoder control knob, start, stop, and
emergency stop switches. The SCR motor
controller is built into the control box and
provides a wire feed speed of 4 to 200 IPM
(10 to 508 CPM) with a speed holding
accuracy of +1% of base speed.
For operating details and function of con-
trols, see 9629 Quick Start Guide.
3. WGP-1 Wire Guide Positioner: guides
wire into puddle.
Note: The wire guide positioner can be
used either as a left hand or right hand
assembly. To change configuration as sup -
plied by factory, reverse thumb knob, set
screw, and spring. (See WGP-1 drawing.
item numbers 13, 18, and 24.)
4. Spool adapter: holds 12” (305 mm) diam-
eter wire spools.
5. Wire Feed Accessory Kit: conduit, feed
rolls, inlet guides, outlet guides, and tips
for 0.020”, 0.030”, 0.035”, 0.045”, 0.062”
and 0.093” (0.5 to 2.4 mm) hard and soft
wire. Order kits separately for desired
wire size.
