Safety instructions
Proceed with the utmost caution when work has to be carried out on the wire cutter (cleaning,
replacement of the blades etc.).
Very high forces act in wire cutting as the blades are pressed together using clamping cylinders.
3.4
Ignition behaviour / availability of the system
The ignition behaviour and availability of the welding system can be provided by
– cutting off bent or excessive length of emerging wire,
– cutting off the wire end before each torch clean and before each TCP measurement,
– cutting off slag formed at the end of the wire.
3.5
Function and structure
The wire cutter consists of the following components:
1.
cylinder, complete (already present on the
TC 2013),
2.
housing, complete with cutting plate, seal
and cover
3.
piston-side cutting plate, complete with car-
rier and shaft
4.
2 sensors.
Sequence of operation
The robot is in the cleaning position in this process. The welding torch is generally inside the torch
cleaner, above the spray head.
•
The blade opens after a wire-cutting program stored in the robot is called. The clamping cylin-
der therefore also closes automatically, as the two motions are linked.
