5.3.3 RTKSC-2 cable assembly

The cable assembly must be aligned to the intended use in length and design. The type of

cooling for the torch and the cable assembly must be the same (either gas or water cooled

respectively). In order to prevent damage to the torch system and other components, it is

imperative to observe the following instructions.

ATENȚIE!

• 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.

5.3.3.1 RTKSC-2 cable assembly installation

NOTĂ!

For some robots, it may be possible to deviate from this order, and first connect the

cable assembly to the RTKSC-2, then thread the cable from the front through the

robot arm. If in doubt, follow the suggested order.

1. Loosen the three screws (7) with the associated washers and remove them from the

RTKSC-2 cover (1). See illustration below.

2. Install the supplied O-rings (4) into the grooves in the cover (1).

3. Pull the cable assembly approximately 15 cm (6 in.) from the main body (3).
