Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods are provided for utilizing wearable wire feeders. 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 torch, with the wire feeder device being a physically separate component from both of the welding-type power supply unit and the welding-type torch, and with the wire feeder device including, at least, a wire source configured to provide electrode wire, and a wire feeding mechanism configured to feed the electrode wire from the wire source. The wire feeder device may be powered by the welding-type power supply unit, and the wire feeder device may be configured to feed the electrode wire to the welding-type torch.
