WELDING SYSTEM WITH A QUICK-CHANGEABLE WIRE FEEDER AND METHOD OF CHANGING THE WIRE FEEDER.

摘要

Apparatuses, systems, and/or methods for securing and unsecuring a wire feeder (140) in an automatic welding system (100) without using tools are disclosed. The welding system (100) can include, for example, a robotic arm (120) with a welding torch, an adaptor, and a wire feeder (140). The adaptor can include, for example, a quick-disconnect member located on the robotic arm (120). The wire feeder (140) that can be removed from the adaptor after the quick-disconnect member has been actuated. The wire feeder (140) can be installed and secured without the use of tools by placing the wire feeder (140) in the actuator and actuating the quick-disconnect member of the actuator.
