Zusammenfassung:The invention described herein generally pertains to a welding device that deposits a material onto a workpiece, the welding device having with an electrode head and a contact assembly coupled thereto. The contact assembly can house electrodes that allow deposition of material on a workpiece. At least a first set of electrodes and a second set of electrodes can be driven at different speeds. Moreover, welding arcs for one or more electrodes can be established based upon a predetermined order in which the predetermined order can be based on at least one of a location of the electrode head on the workpiece, a start of a welding process, and/or a stopping of a welding process.
