3-11. Touch Sensor Operation

The touch sensor feature allows the robot to locate a weldment using the wire feed system and welding power source.
Voltage sense leads provide a path for touch sensor voltage when this feature is turned on at the peripheral receptacle.
Turning on touch sensor causes a dc voltage to be present on the welding wire. When welding wire touches the
weldment, the voltage sensing circuit closes, and a +24 volts dc output signal is sent to the robot control indicating
weldment detection. Touch sensor dc voltage on the welding wire will vary from 60 to 150 volts dc depending on the
welding power source. As soon as touch sensor turns on, DANGER SENSOR ON appears on the front panel display.
