The invention relates to a method for determining a setpoint value (p) for the contact pressure of conveying rollers () of at least one device () for conveying a welding wire () of a welding device (), and a corresponding welding device (). In order to improve the determination of the setpoint value (p) for the contact pressure of each conveying device (), data of the defined parameters (P) together with data from additional parameters (P) relating to the configuration of the welding device () are stored in a database () together with the setpoint values (p), determined in each case empirically, of the contact pressure or a calculation rule for calculating the respective setpoint values (p) of the contact pressure, and the setpoint value (p) of the contact pressure of each conveying device () is determined empirically or by calculation depending on this defined parameters (P) and additional configuration parameters (P) from the database () and is indicated on at least one display ().

Method for determining the setpoint contact pressure value for conveying a welding wire of a welding device and corresponding welding device

In a welding wire storage device for a welding system including a housing with a wire core surrounding the welding wire being arcuately arranged to lie freely in a free space of the housing, one end of the wire core is fixed in an end region of the housing and a measuring means is provided to detect the deflection of the wire core. In order to provide a very simple and compact structure for such a welding wire storage device, the wire core is displaceably mounted in a guide element on the opposite end region, and two coupling mechanisms, for connection with a wire guide hose for the wire core are arranged on the housing.
