Capstan Wire Feeder and ControlParts ListWF-100 CAPSTAN WIRE FEEDERSYSTEM DESCRIPTIONThe Capstan Wire Feeder is a compact, lightweightprecision wire feeder for robotic or automated fixtureapplications. This product was introduced in 1989.Industry analysts project dramatic growth in the use ofrobots for arc welding in future years. In a random surveyby an independent consultant 21 out of 55 people interviewedhad robotic or fully auotmated welding operations and 12people out of 21 who did have robotoc or auotmated weldingoperations experienced problems with feeding welding wire.Major problems cited were wire cast, helix, and wire feedspeed control.The Capstan's small size and light weight (less than 6 lbs.)allows the wire feeder to be placed directly on the automated fixture or robot wrist, The Capstanalso provides an increase in wire drive contact area by wrapping the wire around the wire drive wheel.This wire drive method has three major benefits:Plastic deforms the filler wire, virtually eliminating existing wire cast.Increased drive force eliminates wire slip, flattening and damage to wire surface.Integral wire straightener on the discharge side of the feeder allows the Wire Drive to preciselylocate the filler wire independent of wire cast.The WF-100 Capstan wire feed drive can be used with the WC-1 Thermal Arc Process ControllerMARKETSAerospace/AircraftAutomotiveAutomotive Satellite IndustriesOEM's - Arc Welding RobotsAutomated Welding Systems IntegratorsADVANTAGES OVER COMPETITIONWire feed speed accuracyBroad dynamic rangeBetter/more versatile controlBetter control over wire position in the weld jointAbility to mount on robot armCompetitive priceProcess versatility (GTAW, PAW)Effective 06-01-02Page 3
