1. A welding wire installation comprising a welding robot with a welding torch, a wire container, a motor driven main wire feeder associated with the welding robot, and a motor driven stand alone auxiliary booster wire feeder which operates completely separately and independently from the main wire
1. A welding wire installation comprising a welding robot with a welding torch, a wire container, a motor driven main wire feeder associated with the welding robot, and a motor driven stand alone auxiliary booster wire feeder which operates completely separately and independently from the main wire feeder and assists an advancing movement of the wire by the main wire feeder through a wire guide, wherein the stand alone auxiliary booster wire feeder is located on the wire guide between the wire container and the main wire feeder, the stand alone auxiliary wire feeder comprising a module for acquisition, elaboration and recording of welding data, having a sensor associated with the auxiliary wire feeder for detecting welding wire feed motion, a processor for storing data provided by said sensor, and an output device for providing said data. 2. The installation of claim 1 wherein said sensor comprises a wheel that is adapted for contacting welding wire. 3. The installation of claim 2 wherein an encoder is provided which senses rotation of said wheel. 4. The installation of claim 1 wherein said sensor is a contact-free sensor. 5. The installation claim 1 wherein said sensor uses one of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves for sensing a welding wire feed motion. 6. The installation of claim 1 wherein a touch display is provided for allowing an operator to input parameters. 7. The installation of claim 6 wherein a wire level monitoring module is provided which is adapted for continuously informing an operator of the actual amount of welding wire in the wire container. 8. The installation of claim 6 wherein a wire level monitoring module is provided which is adapted for warning an operator if the amount of welding wire falls beneath a predefined value. 9. The installation of claim 1 wherein said module being connected to said main wire feeder by a data connection which is coupled to said output device. 10. The installation of claim 9 wherein said data connection is an electric cable. 11. The installation of claim 9 wherein said data connection comprises a wireless transmission device. 12. The installation of claim 1 wherein the main wire feeder comprises a motor, a feeding wheel driven by said motor and adapted for advancing welding wire, a control adapted to control operation of said motor, an operator interface adapted for allowing an operator to input data which are being used by said control, and for making available to an operator data related to a welding process in which the welding wire provided by said welding wire feeder is being used. 13. The installation of claim 12 wherein said operator interface is a touch display. 14. The installation of claim 12 wherein said feeding wheel is mounted with a quick connection coupling to allow removal and replacement of the feeding wheel for a different type of wire. 15. The installation of claim 12 wherein an electrical data interface is provided via which data collected by said welding wire feeder is transferred to an external device. 16. A method for operating the installation of claim 1 wherein the main wire feeder has a motor, a feeding wheel driven by said motor, a control which controls operation of said motor, an operator interface adapted for allowing an operator to input data which is being used by said control, said method comprising the steps of counting a length of welding wire supplied from a currently used welding wire container, and of providing to an operator an indication of one of the welding wire remaining in said currently used welding wire container and the welding wire already withdrawn from said currently used welding wire container. 17. The method of claim 16 wherein said control guides an operator through a sequence of steps with which parameters for counting the length of said welding wire are collected. 18. The method of claim 16 wherein said control makes available to an operator at least one of the parameters selected from: effective run time of said welding wire feeder, actual welding time counted from a start signal, number a separate welds counted from a start signal, and an amount of welding wire being supplied. 19. The method of claim 16 wherein said main wire feeder is calibrated and adjusted based on an actual diameter of said welding wire in use. 20. A welding wire installation comprising a welding robot with a welding torch, a wire container, a motor driven main wire feeder associated with the welding robot, and a motor driven stand alone auxiliary wire feeder which operates completely separately and independently from the main wire feeder and assists an advancing movement of the wire by the main wire feeder through a wire guide, wherein the stand alone auxiliary wire feeder is located on the wire guide between the wire container and the main wire feeder, the stand alone auxiliary wire feeder comprising a module for acquisition, elaboration and recording of welding data, having a sensor associated with the auxiliary wire feeder for detecting welding wire feed motion, a processor for storing data provided by said sensor, an output device for providing said data, and an operator interface adapted for allowing an operator to input control data, and for making available to an operator data concerning wire usage.
