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.
ATENȚIE!
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.
NOTĂ!
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.
5. Connect the blow-out hose (black rubber cap) to the corresponding outlet of the wire
feeder.
NOTĂ!
If the blow-out function is not used, the blow-out hose must be sealed with the
rubber cap enclosed. With Infiniturn systems, the blow-out air must be
supplied to the corresponding connection hose, if it is not permitted to connect
blow-out air to the shield gas connection!
