10. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Kemppi Robot Gun Mount T1 unit is used for accommodating the welding guns in
the exact position needed. The mount is fastened to the robot with cylinder-head screws
and a robot flange.
In order to cover the required performance ranges, there are two distinct mount versions
available, the gas-cooled A7 MIG Gun 500-g and the water-cooled A7 MIG Gun 500-w.
The inserted spring acts with its holding force directly upon the triggering flange and fixes
the switching axis, which is positioned by three pins, in zero position.
In the event of a collision, Kemppi Robot Gun Mount T1 can be deflected by 10° in X/Y
direction and thereby, as a buffer, prevent damage to the gun, peripheral equipment, and
robot.
The integrated microswitches represent an additional component in the subordinate
safety circuit. In the event of a collision, the microswitches interrupt a circuit, which can,
for example, shut down the drive units of the robot.
The signal flow for this operation is carried out through the control cable in the cable
assembly.

following instructions must be adhered to:
• Switch off the power supply.
• Cut off the compressed air supply.
• Pull the power plug.

11.1 The maintenance position of the robot
Before Robot Gun Mount T1 and the cable assembly can be mounted, the robot must be
placed in the maintenance position.
For the correct attachment of the robot mount and the cable assembly, set the 4th, 5th,
and 6th axes of the robot thus:
• 4th axis = neutral position
• 5th axis = neutral position
• 6th axis = neutral position
