CAUTION!

• Coordinate the length and design of the cable assembly to suit the range of

action of the robot.

• Do not bend, compress or overstretch the cable assembly.

• Fix the cable assembly such that is can be moved freely and cannot become

entangled.

• Any additional holding devices possibly installed, for example a balancer,

must not crush or bend the cable assembly.

• Extreme turning movements must be avoided in which the cable assembly

may become twisted.

• Chafing on the robot or other objects must be excluded.

5.4.1 Installing the cable assembly in a standard RT system

The front part of the cable assembly is directly clamped into the torch mount (see illustration

below).

1. Unscrew the cylinder screws (1) and lift off the top section (2) of the torch mount.

2. Insert the feather key (4) into the recess of the neck support flange (3) from below.

3. Align the neck support flange (3) including the feather key (4) to the groove (4a) of the

torch mount and push into the groove right up to the stop of the flange.

4. Hold the cable assembly in this position and simultaneously place the top section (2)

back onto the torch mount. First screw both cylinder screws (1) loosely in to about the

same length, then tighten alternately. The top section (2) of the mount should have an

even gap to the bottom section.
