Research on a new wire feeder with automatic braking feature

摘要

Aiming at the shortcomings of the existing wire feeders, in this paper we design a new wire feeder which adopts pneumatic brake and new design of shafting to achieve the function of prompt braking which could significantly improve the security and reduce the labor intensity of workers. We also simulated the important components of the wire feeder, the simulation results show that the new wire feeder completely comply with the design requirements.
