Rt Flc-2 Cable Assembly; Rt Flc-2 Cable Assembly Installation - ESAB RT KS-2 Instruction Manual

5 INSTALLATION
6. Install the necessary plug on the control cable and connect it to the safety off circuit
interface of the wire feeder (see section "Electrical connections").
5.4.3 RT FLC-2 cable assembly
The cable assembly must be aligned to the intended use in length and design. The type of
cooling for the torch and the cable assembly must be the same (either gas or water cooled
respectively). In order to prevent damage to the torch system and other components, it is
imperative to observe the following instructions.
ATENȚIE!
• Coordinate the length and design of the cable assembly to suit the range of
action of the robot.
• Do not bend, compress or overstretch the cable assembly.
• Fix the cable assembly such that is can be moved freely and cannot become
entangled.
• Any additional holding devices possibly installed, for example a balancer,
must not crush or bend the cable assembly.
• Extreme turning movements must be avoided in which the cable assembly
may become twisted.
• Chafing on the robot or other objects must be excluded.
5.4.3.1 RT FLC-2 cable assembly installation
In a hollow wrist system the recommended order of installation is to feed the cable assembly
through the robot arm before connecting the cables to the torch mount.
When the cable assembly is correctly installed in the hollow wrist, continue the installation
according to the procedure described below.
NOTĂ!
For some robots, it may be possible to deviate from this order, and first connect the
cable assembly to the RT KSC-2 and RT FLC-2, then thread the cable from the front
through the robot arm. If in doubt, follow the suggested order.
1. Loosen the three screws (7) with the associated washers and remove them from the
RT FLC-2 cover (1). See illustration below.
2. Install the supplied O-rings (4) into the grooves in the cover (1). For gas cooled
systems, only one O-ring (4a) is needed, for water cooled systems all three O-rings
are needed.
3. Pull the cable assembly approximately 15 cm (6 in.) from the main body (3).
