Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020052792A1] The invention relates to fill level detectionng for electrode cap magazines of welding electrodes, consisting of an electrode cap magazine having at least one electrode cgap channel (5), in which at least one cap conveyor (6) is arranged in a linearly moveable manner and preferably applied with a spring force, which moves the electrode caps (3) contained in the electrode cap channel (5) in the direction of the removal opening for the access of welding tongs, wherein the mechanicallyt connected element thereof functions as a measuring surface (8) and a sensor (7) for path measurement is arranged on the impinged side and/or the fixed side thereof, which projects a measuring beam onto the measuring surface (8) for measuring the distance between the sensor (7) and the measuring surface (8) and the exact number of the electrode caps (3) contained in the electrode cap magazine is determined by means of the evaluation of evaluating this path distance detected by the sensor (7).
