Systems and methods for using wearable wire feeders

Systems and methods for using a wearable wire feeder are provided. An example welding-type system may include a wire feeder device configured for operation in conjunction with a welding-type power supply unit and a welding-type welding torch, where the wire feeder device is a component physically separate from both the welding-type power supply unit and the welding-type welding torch, and where the wire feeder device includes at least: a welding wire source configured to receive a welding wire from the welding-type power supply unit and the welding-type welding torch; the welding wire source is configured to provide an electrode wire; and the wire feeding mechanism is configured to feed the electrode wire from the welding wire source. The wire feeder device may be powered by a welding-type power supply unit, and the wire feeder device may be configured to feed an electrode wire to a welding-type welding torch. 提供了使用可穿戴送丝器的系统和方法。一种示例焊接型系统可以包括送丝器装置，该送丝器装置被配置用于与焊接型电力供应单元和焊接型焊炬结合操作，其中送丝器装置是与焊接型电力供应单元和焊接型焊炬两者物理上分离
