11.3 Mounting the hose assembly on the
robot
This section describes how to mount the hose assembly
on the robot.
Serious injuries can be caused by parts articulating
rapidly. When cleaning with compressed air, wear suitable
protective clothing – in particular, safety goggles.
When replacing the liquid-cooled A7 MIG Gun 500-w
hose assemblies, make sure that any coolant residues are
removed from the robot mount.
• When replacing the liquid-cooled A7 MIG Gun
500-w hose assemblies, make sure that any
coolant residues are removed from the robot
mount.
• When mounting liquid-cooled A7 MIG Gun 500-
w hose assemblies, make sure that the water
nipples in the welding torch coupling for the A7
MIG Gun 500-w unit are inserted correctly into
the hose assembly adapter. Observe the forced
positioning.
• After mounting is complete, check for any leaks.
Before Robot Gun Mount T3 and the cable assembly can
be mounted, the robot must be placed in maintenance
position.

Proceed as follows:
1. Rotate the lock ring (3), and open the cover (4).
2. Unscrew the fastening screw (10) from the welding
torch coupling (8) until the screw head and the
washer (9) make contact.
3. Introduce the hose assembly (6) from behind,
through the robot (5).
4. Insert the pull-in tool (1) from the front, through
the robot mount (2) and the robot (5), and screw
it into the hose assembly connection (7) as far as it
will go.
Only if the hose assembly connection has been
correctly inserted can it be attached properly with the
fastening screw.
5. Position the hose assembly connection (7)
with the positioning pin and the groove of the
welding torch coupling (8).
6. Pull in the hose assembly connection (7) as far
as it will go, and secure it with a fastening screw
(10), with max. tightening torque M = 7.5 Nm.
Observe the forced positioning.
7. Unscrew the pull-in tool (1).
8. Slide in the corrugated hose on the hose
assembly (6) as far as it will go.
9. Close the cover (4), and tighten with the lock
ring (3). Refer to Figure 4 for the standard axis
positions.
10. Fasten the wire feeder (1) to the wire bracket
mount (3).
11. The position of the wire feed (1) is due to the
position of the robot (maintenance position).
Make sure that the hose assembly can still be
moved 20 mm upwards and downwards after
the wire feeder has been attached.
