Intended use The devices and components described in these Operating Instructions are intended ex- clusively for automated MIG/MAG applications in conjunction with Fronius components. Any use above and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
at the interface with the public grid see "Technical data" In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device should check whether the device may be connected, where appropriate by discussing the matter with the power sup- ply company.
Do not touch live parts either inside or outside the device. ing current During MIG/MAG welding and TIG welding, the welding wire, the wirespool, the feed rollers and all pieces of metal that are in contact with the welding wire are live.
Use the handle to ensure the power connections are tight before every use. In the case of power cables with a bayonet connector, rotate the power cable around the longitudinal axis by at least 180° and pretension. Do not wrap cables or leads around the body or parts of the body. The electrode (rod electrode, tungsten electrode, welding wire, etc.) must never be immersed in liquid for cooling Never touch the electrode when the power source is switched on.
In the case of automated MIG/MAG applications, ensure that only an insulated wire elec- trode is routed from the welding wire drum, large wirefeeder spool or wirespool to the wire- feeder. EMC Device Clas- Devices in emission class A: sifications...
Chains and ropes must be at the smallest angle possible to the vertical. Remove gas cylinder and wire-feed unit (MIG/MAG and TIG devices). If the wire-feed unit is attached to a crane holder during welding, always use a suitable, insulated wirefeeder hoisting attachment (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
Odourless and colourless shielding gas may escape unnoticed if an adapter is used for the shielding gas connection. Prior to assembly, seal the device-side thread of the adapter for the shielding gas connection using suitable Teflon tape. Requirement for Especially with ring lines, contaminated shielding gas can cause damage to equipment and the shielding gas reduce welding quality.

Cooling Liquid FCL 10/20 does not ignite. The ethanol-based coolant can ignite under cer- tain conditions. Transport the coolant only in its original, sealed containers and keep well away from any sources of ignition. Used coolant must be disposed of properly in accordance with the relevant national and international regulations.
Fronius International GmbH hereby declares that the device is compliant with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text on the EU Declaration of Conformity can be found at the following address: http://www.fronius.com Devices marked with the CSA test mark satisfy the requirements of the relevant standards for Canada and the USA.
Description of On certain device versions, warning notices are attached to the device. Warning Notices on the Device The arrangement of the symbols may vary. Warning! Watch Out! There are possible hazards as shown by the symbols. Drive rolls can injure fingers. Welding wire and drive parts are at welding voltage during operation Keep hands and metal objects away.

Interconnecting hosepack General remarks The interconnecting hosepack connects the power source to the wirefeeder. With the TPS/ i welding system the interconnecting hosepack is available in two versions - one split and one continuous variant. 3 / 5 / 10 / 15 m (extension - split variant) 4 / 8 m (connection - continuous variant) General The interconnecting hosepack connects the power source to the SplitBox SB 60i R.
PowerLiner General The PowerLiner is a wirefeeder system for all standard wire types. Wire diameters of 0.6 mm to 1.6 mm may be used. The PowerLiner does not need an inner liner. The wire electrode is guided by rollers set at an angle of 90 degrees.
All indoor and automated MIG/MAG applications. Proper use The device is designed exclusively for wirefeeding in automated MIG/MAG welding appli- cations in conjunction with Fronius system components. Any use above and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
Warning notices The device is fitted with safety symbols and a rating plate. The safety symbols and rating on the device plate must not be removed or painted over. The safety symbols warn against operating the equipment incorrectly, as this may result in serious injury and damage. 40,0006,3035 Example: WF 30i REEL R /2R/G/W Do not dispose of used devices with domestic waste.

CrashBox /i General A CrashBox Drive /i PAP mounted onto the robot arm A CrashBox Drive /i mounted onto the robot arm with with Robacta Drive and MTB clamp system, Robacta Drive und MTB The CrashBox Drive /i is a protection device for the torch body, the drive unit and the torch interchangeable-coupling.
Device concept The CrashBox Drive /i is designed specifically for fitting to the robot arm and for holding gas-cooled and water-cooled robot hosepacks with robot drive units. For PAP systems, the torch hosepack runs through the CrashBox and then through the robot arm. In convention- al robot systems the torch hosepack runs along the robot arm and is attached to the clamp.
Robot welding torch Safety CAUTION! Risk of burns from hot torch body, hot torch body coupling and other hot welding torch components. Before starting work on the torch body, the torch body coupling and all other welding torch components: ► Allow the torch body, torch body coupling and all other welding torch components to cool down to room temperature (+25 °C, +77 °F) ►...
TPSi wire buffer General As its name implies, the wire buffer acts as a buffer for the rapid reversing movements of the wire electrode needed during the CMT welding process. The wire buffer can also be used to help coordinate two drive systems that work in different ways.
WireSense General If OPT/i WireSense software activation is available on the power source, the surface, edg- es and weld seams of a workpiece can be measured with the wire electrode. The wire electrode functions as a sensor that can precisely scan a component by means of high-frequency reversing wire movement.
WireSense - edge The WireSense edge detection is activated and an edge height between 0.5 and 20 detection mm is selected. The touch signal is output when the defined edge height is detected. In this way the position of the edge can be recorded. The WireSense Position signal indicates the height of the edge.
WireSense - con- WireSense contour detection is active when WireSense edge detection = OFF or < 0.5 tour detection The touch signal is not active. The WireSense Position signal provides the actual height values (live values). The additional WireSense Break signal stops the forward movement of the wire elec- trode and stores the zero reference value (The zero reference value is useful for overcoming the distance to the component without wirefeeding if the reference value is not set directly on the component).
Technical details Edge detection Contour detection Edge detection and actual Height signals height signal The system outputs a touch The system supplies the signal when the edge is de- height information as actual tected and provides the values of the sampled path. height value of the detected edge.
