Abstract
A device, use of the device and method for setting a specific operating position of an apparatus component, such as a wire feed of a welding installation. The apparatus component can be moved, in particular linearly displaced, to set the specific operating position and, after being moved into the specific operating position, can be fixed in place in said position for operation. The device includes a positioning element that has a modifiable surface on which the specific operating position can be preset for operation; and a setting aid that comprises at least one region interacting with the modifiable surface of the positioning element, and which is embodied to lie against the apparatus component.
Claims10
A device for setting a specific operating position from among different operating positions, the specific operating position being a fixed position of an apparatus component for a wire feed of a welding installation, wherein the apparatus component can be moved to set the specific operating position and, after being moved into the specific operating position, can be fixed in place in the specific operating position, wherein the device comprises:
- a positioning element that has a modifiable surface on which the specific operating position can be preset for operation using a plurality of pins, wherein the positioning element comprises a plurality of recesses into which the pins are inserted such that the pins protrude out of the modifiable surface to provide the different operating positions;
- and
- a setting aid that comprises an elongated base body interacting with the modifiable surface of the positioning element, and which is configured to lie against the apparatus component.
