Abstract

The invention relates to a wire-feed device for conveying a wire and to a method for feeding wire using a wire-feed device, in particular for a thermal joining apparatus, having at least one a drive element which can be operated by a feed drive and can be placed against a wire guided through the wire-feed device, exerting a contact pressure, in order to transfer drive movement by friction. According to the invention, an actuator which is coupled to the at least one drive element and can be controlled by a controller using the values measured for the contact pressure, is provided for variably setting the contact pressure acting on the wire.
