4 Safety Precautions The torch cleaning unit is constructed to the latest state of the art and is safe to operate provided: It is correctly installed and maintained by qualified personnel and the safety specifications of the relevant city, state & country are observed. 2. Installation, commissioning and maintenance shall be performed only by authorised personnel and all safety precautions outlined in these Operating Instructions shall be observed. 3. This product shall be integrated into a higher safety system by plant engineering if the installation site is within a secured area which has to be entered for assembly or maintenance work. In this case it shall also be ensured that the complete cell is shut down and remains locked out against inadvertent operation, e.g. due to control malfunction. 4. The torch cleaning unit is to be used only for torch cleaning within the parameters of its technical specification. 5. The specified operating pressure shall not be exceeded. 6. When used independently, the torch cleaning unit only is operated with covers closed. 7. Keep hands clear of the area of the clamp and reamer operating space. 8. When making adjustment, shut off the air supply so that the equipment is unpressurised. 9. Additional fittings not offered as accessories may only be fitted with manufacturers approval. 10. If it is intended to use the torch cleaning unit in an environment with corrosive or aggressive vapours or liquids, approval of the manufacturer shall be obtained. 11. When shutting down a system, it shall be ensured that there is no handling equipment (e.g. robot) in the torch cleaning unit. Preparation Before starting installation work in the area of the robot ensure, for your personal safety, that all protective measures have been taken and will remain in place when personnel are in the area of the robot. Mounting Secure the torch cleaning unit to a vibration-free base, or to the optional mounting stand. The torch cleaning unit can be mounted, with certain limitations, in any position and direction, but a completely trouble-free operation can only be guaranteed when the system and air filter/regulator/oiler are installed in the vertical position. Electrical Socket 5 Pin Terminal 1 = Input signal from Robot, +24 vdc IF Terminal 2 is 0 vdc. Terminal 2 = Input signal from Robot, 0 vdc IF Terminal 1 is +24vdc. NOTE: Values for terminals 1 & 2 are reversible. Terminal 3 = Not Used, Open Terminal 4 = +24 vdc Output from cleaning station to Robot Terminal 5 = Ground Terminal on cord set must be connected to the Robot Output cable. The duration of the signal determines the length of time the reaming motor is active. Terminal 3 is open and unused. Terminal 4 on the cordset must be connected to the Robot Input receiving a 24 vdc signal from the cleaning station. This signal indicates cleaning is complete. Terminal 5 is the Ground terminal.

5 Air Supply: 2. The cleaning station requires PSI clean, lubricated, water free shop 8 S.C.F.M. minimum. The system is equipped with a ¼ NPT female fitting for the air supply connection. For best performance the use of the Air Filter/Regulator/Lubricator, part number is required. Wire Cutter (optional) When equipped with a wire cutter a 0.5 second signal from the robot is required to activate the cutter air solenoid as the wire passes through the cutter blades. Reamer Blade: Select the appropriate reamer blade for the application. The reamer blade ID. should be (1mm) larger than the contact tip OD. The reamer blade OD should be (1mm) smaller than the nozzle ID. Standard reamer blades have a 3/8-24 RH internal thread. The reamer blade should be hand tightened against the jam nut on the motor shaft then the jam nut should be secured against the reamer blade. Nozzle alignment: Correct alignment of the welding nozzle is critical for proper operation. The clamping V- Block must be adjusted to center the nozzle above the reamer blade when the clamp is closed. The V-Block may be adjusted by turning the set screw in or out as required. Side to side adjustment is normally not required as this is fixed at the factory. a. Reaming depth (reamer insertion into the nozzle) is controlled by the robot positioning. Adjustments may be made by the robot programmer with respect to the nozzle positioning by the robot. Additional depth adjustment may be made by adjusting the reamer motor up or down within the motor holding fixture. b. CAUTION! Avoid interference with the reamer blade, nozzle, contact tip, insulators or torch neck. Damage to the reamer blade, components or torch may occur Anti-Spatter Solution: Anti spatter solution is retained in the container mounted on the rear of the system. Container holds approximately 1 quart of liquid. Solvent base formulas are recommended. Operation: Cycle time for the reaming process is controlled by the robot. With the robot signal on the V-Block clamp secures the nozzle, the reamer starts upward travel and the blade begins rotation. The reamer travels upward to it maximum stop and remains there as long as the signal is applied. When the signal is turned off the reamer begins downward travel with the blade continuing to rotate and the nozzle clamp still closed. Upon reaching the bottom of its stroke the reamer blade will stop rotating and the nozzle clamp will open. When the V-Block nozzle clamp is open the robot receives a 24vdc signal telling it that it may remove the torch from the cleaning station. Anti-Spatter Spray is automatically dispensed as the reaming action is completed. The sprayer may be manually operated by pressing the test button on the side of the unit. Feed Rate up and down may be controlled by adjusting the flow control fittings located inside the unit. The top fitting controls the (up) rate the lower fitting controls the (down) rate. Maintenance - Weekly or as required (1) Empty & wipe clean the catch pan if supplied (2) Check anti-spatter fluid level, drain & clean tank and refill as required (3) Check hoses & fittings for leaks (4) Check air pressure & oiler if supplied (5) Check reamer blade / nozzle alignment (6) Check reamer blade for damage / wear (7) Check that mounting bolts are secure (8) Check electrical cable for cuts or damage (9) Check electrical connections (10) Operate cleaning station manualy (Robot shut down and Locked Out) to confirm proper operation.

14 11. MWR-PDA92: Part # Actuator Valve: Part # Cutting Blade Set: Part # Capacity ( mm) Supplied Air: psi clean shop air / 8 S.C.F.M. The AE-PDA92 welding wire trimming device is designed to trim cut welding wire at a predetermined length providing correct stick out at the gas shield nozzle of Robotic Mig welding torches. The MWR-PDA92 device may be actuated by robot signal to a pneumatic control device sending pressurized air to the diaphragm or, actuation may be by means of a pneumatic control mounted to the wire trimmer as shown above. Installation: 1. Mount the wire trimmer directly to the MWR REAMER nozzle cleaning station or to any remote location within reach of the robot. 2. Provide clean, lubricated, water free shop air at a rate of psi to the air inlet of the actuator control mounted atop the wire trimmer. Note: In some cases the device may be controlled by a signal from the robot to an internal control within the cleaning station. Contact the cleaning station manufacturer for details. 3. Program the robot to slowly passing the protruding welding wire directly between the cutter blades. 4. Adjust the actuator valve arm so that the wire is trimmed in the center of the cutting blades. Maintenance: NOTE: Maintenance should only be performed after the robot cell has been shut down and locked out and only by qualified personnel. 1. Wipe down to remove excessive oil and dirt. 2. Inspect air connections, lines and fittings for damage or leaks. 3. Check alignment of cutting blades to robot wire position. 4. Check condition of cutting blades. Replace as necessary. 5. Apply a light lubricant to pivot points.
