Wire Feed Speed Report
Knowing the Wire Feed Speed and deposition of material is important for those who need to analyze how
fast the material was put into a weld and how much material was used per weld. This can help identify any
adjustments that need to be made at the Welding Power Source. You can generate this report for a single
Welding Power Source or a Group of power sources.
Figure 5.24 Weld Listing Report: Wire Feed Speed
The top half of the report is a graph that shows you the average wire feed speed and the wire deposition
for each individual weld in the list below the graph.
The bottom half of the report is a tabular list of the data. On the right, the system also displays the criteria
used to generate the data. Table 5.16 explains the columns on this report in more detail.
Table 5.16 Columns on the Wire Feed Speed Report
Field Description
Start of Weld The Start of Weld column displays the date and specific time the Welding Power
Source began performing the weld.
If you want to see additional information about the individual weld, simply click
the underlined date and time. The system automatically generates a Weld
Detail report for that weld (page 5.30).
Avg. WFS Hundreds of times per second, the Welding Power Source takes a measurement
of the speed at which the wire is put into the weld. When the weld is complete,
the power source averages those measurements together. The Avg. WFS
column displays that average wire feed speed value for this weld.
Wire Deposition This column displays the amount of wire (in pounds or kilograms) that was
deposited for the individual weld.
