Title: Innovations by Andreas Waldhör

Introduction

Andreas Waldhör is a notable inventor based in Pettenbach, Austria. He has made significant contributions to the field of welding technology, holding a total of 6 patents. His work focuses on improving welding methods and devices, showcasing his expertise and innovative spirit.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is a multiple welding method that features an improved starting process. In this method, the control unit of the guide electrode initiates the welding-wire advancement and sends a synchronization signal to the control unit of the trailing electrode. This occurs when the guide electrode has moved a certain distance or for a specific duration. The trailing electrode's control unit then starts its welding-wire advancement based on the received synchronization signal before the guide electrode makes contact with the workpiece.

Another significant patent involves a method and welding device that detects electrical contacts during the welding process. This method utilizes a welding current source to provide welding voltage while applying an electrical voltage to an external element of the welding torch. This setup allows for the detection of any electrical contact that may occur between the external element and another component, such as the workpiece or a contact tube.
