SECTION 2 – SPECIFICATIONS 2-1 System Components Robotic Peripheral for GMAW Welding Air Requirements (minimum): Rated Voltage: 24 VDC 80 to 100 psi (5.5 to 7.0 bar) at 16 CFM (450 LPM) Air Motor (at min. air requirement): Operating Voltage: ±10% of rated voltage Power Consumption: Stall torque at 80 psi (5.5 bar) = 83 in.-lbs.
WARNING: Ensure power supply is off and disconnected before proceeding. Please follow your facility’s lockout / tagout procedures. A. To Mount TOUGH GUN TT3E Reamer The TOUGH GUN Reamer should be installed within the weld cell where it is clear of all tooling and convenient for the robot to access the unit.
Use an air supply line with an inside diameter of 1/4” and connect to 1/8” female NPT inlet located on the side of the valve. C. To Connect Power Supply The TOUGH GUN TT3E Reamer Ethernet module can support the wire cutter function and as such can be connected directly to the Reamer. Once mounted to the top of the Reamer, take the 4-Pin M12 connector and attach it to the AUX port on the Comm Plate.
(continued from page 8) 2. If the Reamer is equipped with a nozzle detection system in addition to the wire cutter, splitter part number TT3E-2343 will be Splitter required, and will receive the 4-Pin M12 connector. (TT3E-2343) SECTION 4 – SETUP 4-1 Air Motor Lubricator The TOUGH GUN Reamer must be operated with lubricated air using either the air motor lubricator option or a suitable alternative system installed by the customer.
4-4 Ethernet Module Description WARNING: Before start-up, ensure that all connections are correct or damage to the TOUGH GUN Reamer may occur. The TT3E-2310 is a multiprotocol communication adapter which supports networking standards: • EtherNet/IP • PROFINET • Modbus TCP/IP The factory default setting is that all communication protocols are enabled.
4-7 Setting the IP Address The first step that must be done in order to communicate with the Ethernet module is to change the TCP/IPv4 Properties on the computer being used. The following steps must be done: 1. Open Network Connection Status through the Network and Sharing Center (if the computer is using Windows based OS). 2.

5-4 Operation through the HMI The TOUGH GUN TT3E Reamer has a built in feature that allows the dwell times for the motor start up, spindle advance and sprayer duration to be changed to user preferences. The Reamer also includes the option of Double Stroke. This option will set the Reamer up to conduct two sequential plunges into the nozzle bore.
4. In the HMI screen there are two options in the left part of the screen. One for the Program Status and one for Program Setup. (Figure 3) The Program Status will give you the real time status of the Reamer and the Program Setup will allow you to change the dwell times and enable/disable Double Stroke.
SECTION 6 – MAINTENANCE 6-1 Replacing the Spindle Limit Switch WARNING: Ensure power supply is off and disconnected before proceeding. Please follow your facility’s lockout / tagout procedures. Limit switch bracket Open the rear cover. Fastener Disconnect connectors from the wiring harness. Wire with connectors Remove the one fastener on the limit switch bracket.

Module. Incorrect TCP/IPv4 Properties Change the properties through the network connection status on the host computer.
9-3 Lubricator PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Oil fill level low. Oil depleted in bowl. Refill oil bowl to correct level using air motor oil. 2. Incorrect oil drip rate. Drip rate valve not set properly. Set drip rate valve so that 1 drop of oil occurs every 5-10 reamer cycles.
9-6 Software WARNING: When conducting troubleshooting on the TOUGH GUN TT3E Reamer, ensure that all safety and lockout/ tagout procedures are followed. Any time service is to be done on a Reamer, the RESET switch must be pressed to set the program back to its start state.
