WIRE DRIVE MOTOR AND FEED-
BACK
The Wire Drive Motor is controlled by the Feeder Board
and the Weld Control Board. A motor speed feedback
signal is generated at the motor Tach and sent to the
Feeder Board, which compares this feedback signal to
the commands from the Encoder. It then sends the
appropriate armature voltage to the Wire Drive Motor.
This controlled wire drive speed in turn regulates the
electrode wire feed speed through the gun.
