wire speed
"Wire speed" refers to the maximum rate of data transmission or the speed at which a wire moves in industrial processes, depending on the context.
Definition
C1Data Transmission
(technical, networking)The highest rate at which data can be transmitted through a network medium without significant delay or loss.
Example
- The new network switch operates at wire speed, ensuring no data bottlenecks.
- Achieving wire speed is crucial for maintaining high-performance network operations.
B2MIG Welding
(technical, industrial)The rate at which the welding wire is fed through the welding gun, affecting the quality and characteristics of the weld.
Example
- Adjusting the wire speed can help achieve a better weld bead profile.
- Too high a wire speed might cause burn-through during welding.
B2General Industrial Processes
(technical, manufacturing)The speed at which a wire moves through a machine during various industrial operations.
Example
- The wire speed needs to be carefully controlled to ensure consistent production quality.
- Monitoring wire speed is essential in automated manufacturing processes.
