Welding Equipment

In its standard configuration, the ArcWorld IV-6200 XHD DR2C system includes a
power source, wire feeder, torch, and torch mount. Optional equipment, including
water circulators, Com-Arc units, and torch tenders may be included to enhance
performance.
3.5.1

Wire Feeder

The wire feeder in the welding package is selected to match the welder. Motoman
always mounts the feeder on the upper arm to improve feedability. Wiring and
shielding gas lines to the feeder may be routed along the outside of the arm. In
some cases, Motoman uses the internal wire harness and air hose to run utilities
from the base of the robot to the upper arm. For aluminum welding packages,
Motoman includes provisions to mount a 16-lb. aluminum, wire spool on the upper
arm.
CAUTION!
Never mount a steel wire spool on the upper arm. The excess weight
will exceed the arm's weight limit.
Wires/cables from the torch shock sensor are often run together or close to the
feeder wires/cables. The MotoWeld II feeder includes a Shock Sensor Override
switch and an inch button. The override switch allows the robot to be moved from
the collision point so the shock sensor can be reset.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the robot with the override switch in OVERRIDE
position or damage to equipment can result.
3.5.2

GMAW Torch

The ArcWorld system uses either an air-cooled or a water-cooled robotic/automatic
GMAW torch. These are heavy-duty torches designed for quick replacement and
minimum robot reprogramming. The GMAW torch is installed at the end of the
robot wrist. For applications that use the water-cooled torch, the ArcWorld IV-
6200 XHD DR2C cell includes a water circulator kit.
3.5.3

Torch Mount

The torch mount protects the torch from impact with the workpiece, fixture, or
positioner. It provides multi-directional impact detection, including Z-axis
collisions. A torch impact causes a system E-STOP and immediately stops all
system operation. Servo power is removed from the system, brakes are applied to
the robot, and all positioner motion is stopped.
