5-5 Positioning Gun WARNING: Keep hands clear of fixed blade and TCP locator. Figure 5-F For best cutter performance, the MIG gun should be located so that the wire to be cut is 0.03"-0.06" horizontally away from the fixed blade. The finished wire cut length is the vertical distance from the contact tip to the bottom of the fixed blade. NOTE: Gun and nozzle not shown in diagram. 5-6 Programming Events Sequence 1. Program the robot to position the MIG gun at a right angle to the blades. Insert the gun to the proper depth and position the wire between wire cutter blades. 2. Jog the welding wire before cycle start is initiated. 3. Cycle Start – Supply output signal from the robot controller. Pulse output for 0.5 seconds. 4. TOUGH GUN Wire Cutter will perform cutting operation. 5. Upon completion of the cutting operation, program the robot to extract the gun from the wire cutter and continue to weld. OM-WC-1.3... -
