We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Wire Feed",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release 60m robot system welds aluminium rolling stock from
Cloos Schweisstechnik, which we summarised at the time by saying "Robotic welding systems on a 60m long overhead track are reducing fabrication costs and shortening construction times in building railway rolling stock, writes Walter Lutz".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Wire-EDM plus water jet equals faster cutting from
Sodi-Tech edm: "To provide even faster cutting speeds than are currently possible with wire-EDM, the process has been combined with water jet cutting in one machine to increase speeds".
In October 2007, we covered the news from 600 Centre
concerning its Wire EDM
- take a look at Wire EDM has fewer parts and more rigidity
which says: "An increase of 40 per cent to machine rigidity and twin-servo wire tension control giving 35 per cent fewer mechanical parts, are factors that improve performance of the latest Fanuc wire EDM range".
Take a look also at the news release from Lincoln Electric Company, The, Welding power options onlin,
as well as Flux for welding of stainless steels and nickels from Lincoln Electric Company, The,
and Six-axis industrial robots perform arc welding from MOTOMAN Robotics Europe.
