Sensor current
The sensor current is transferred via the connection socket of the automated welding torch.
At the torch, the signal has to be connected to the conducting part of the cold wire feeder. This means
outside the welding process an electric potential is active which detects sticking when the feeder or wire
has contact with the workpiece at the end of the process.
If the power source is used in combination with a TIG torch please note that the torch electrode having
contact with the workpiece cannot be detected.
NOTE
At present, sticking detection is only possible with a dedicated interface which analyses
the corresponding "sticking" signal at the 19-pole interface for automated welding.
The usual sticking detection of standard interfaces (RINT X12 and BUSINT X11) does
not work with this system type.
