1. Loosen the sliding mechanism of the wire feeder and connect the cable assembly. Refer

to the instruction of the feeder manufacturer.

2. Now adjust the position of the wire feeder to suit the length of the Infiniturn or Helix

cable, as indicated with "A" in the illustration below.

CAUTION!

When adjusting the position of the feeder cabinet, make sure that the cable

assembly is not under stress when the robot arm is in stretched-out position.

It is normal for the cable assembly to sag slightly, it should never be taut.

3. Before securing the wire feeder in its permanent position, ensure that the Euro

connections are tightly connected. Then turn the torch mount down and up again

(rotating on the axis 5), in order not to tighten the cable assembly too much against the

feeder (see illustration above). Once this is done, tighten the feeder in that position.

4. For water cooled systems, connect the water lines to the cooling circuit. See section

"Cable assemblies for hollow wrist systems" in the TECHNICAL DATA chapter for

indications.

The hose with the blue rubber cap is for cooling water to the torch, the hose with the red

rubber cap returns the heated water. Make sure the hoses will not kink or get otherwise

blocked.

NOTE!

A Helix cable assembly used for a gas cooled system must not be connected

to a cooling circuit. As the water connections are not needed, they may be

cut off.
