10.4 Installing the wire-cutting device

This section describes how to install the wire-cutting
device.
The parts of the system are depicted in the figure below.
Figure 14: Installing the wire-cutting device
1. Countersunk screw, M5×20
2. Protection plate
3. Welding torch
4. Stick-out (SO) – free wire end
5. Guiding plate for wire clippings
6. Movable cutting plate
7. Fixed cutting plate
8. Container for wire clippings
Proceed as follows:
1. For better access, loosen the protection plate and
move it backwards.
2. Move the welding torch to the cutting position.
Pay attention to the desired stick-out length.
3. Move the free wire end to the fixed cutter (at the
lower cutting edge).
4. As soon as you have programmed the desired
cutting length, the protection plate must be moved
forward again. The gap between the fixed cutter
and the protection plate should be < 4 mm.
If the cutting plates reach their wear limit (possible results
include poor cutting quality, jamming of the device, and
incomplete cutting), the cutting plates do not need to be
replaced at once.
Program a new cutting position in a new place in the area of
the cutting plates.
