8-3 Programming Events Sequence A. Programming Cutter Blade / Reamer Sequence 1. Verify the TOUGH GUN Reamer L.E.D. is showing Unclamped and Reamer Home. 2. Position the robot to place the MIG gun nozzle so it is tangent to the two (2) angled faces of the v-block, at the proper insertion depth and concentric with the cutter blade (see section 7-6 Setting Up Nozzle Heights for Cutter Blade Insertion on page 20). 3. Cycle Start - Supply output signal from the robot controller / PLC. Pulse output for 0.5 seconds. 4. TOUGH GUN Reamer will perform cleaning cycle. 5. When the Cycle Start signal is supplied to the reamer, Reamer Home and Unclamped L.E.D.s will turn off. There should be no illuminated L.E.D.s on the board until the reamer reaches the top of its stroke. At this point, the Reamer Ahead L.E.D. will illuminate for a split second before the spindle begins to retract. 6. Once the reamer reaches the bottom of the stroke again, the motor will stop spinning, the clamps will open to release the nozzle and the Reamer Home and Unclamped L.E.D.s will be illuminated again. The PLC should check for the Home signal before letting the robot move. 7. The gun can now be safely removed from the TOUGH GUN Reamer clamps and moved to its spray position. Figure 8-G B. Programming Sprayer Sequence ...
The manual momentary override switches allow Figure 8-H confirmation that the lift cylinder, jaw clamping and sprayer air circuits are operational. To manually operate the TOUGH GUN TT4E Reamer: NOTE: The HOME POSITION button should be pressed prior to manual setup to reset all circuitry 1. Locate the setup switches on the air supply side of the reamer (opposite the reservoir). 2. Operate the switches as required. OM-TT4E-1.0...
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. All of these options can be accessed through the web browser enabled Human Machine Interface (HMI). IMPORTANT NOTE: The HMI will only work with an HTML5 enabled browser. The steps to access the HMI are as follows: 1. Download the TOUGH GUN TT4E Reamer HMI and Update Program from www.tregaskiss.com/TT4E (under the Software tab), and open the local file folder. 2. Select the _View HMI.html file and open it in your default web browser (be sure your web browser supports HTML5) (see Figure 8-I). 3. Once opened, enter the IP address of the reamer you wish to operate (see Figure 8-J). Figure 8-J Figure 8-K...

Once in the Program Setup screen, the right side of the screen will display the various dwell time and Double Stroke options. 6. To enable/disable the Double Stroke, click "Enable Double Stroke from HMI" (see Figure 8-M). Figure 8-M OM-TT4E-1.0...
Page 40
7. To change the dwell times for the motor start up, spindle and Figure 8-N sprayer, insert the desired time (in milliseconds) into the white cell and click the corresponding button below it. The respective total dwell time will be updated instantly in the HMI screen (see Figure 8-N, Figure 8-O, and Figure 8-P). NOTE: There are pre-programmed minimum dwell times that cannot be changed (250ms for Motor Start Up and Spindle Advance, 1ms for Sprayer Duration). The time inputted by the user in the HMI will not be cumulative with these minimum dwell times. Figure 8-O Figure 8-P OM-TT4E-1.0...
8-6 Adjusting Flow Control Valves NOTE: The flow control valve provides a smooth, constant feed of Figure 8-Q the cutting tool. The feed rate is dependent on the amount of spatter accumulated. If a smaller amount of spatter accumulates, the feed rate can be set faster. A feed rate that is set too fast may stall the motor or damage the cutter blade. To adjust the flow control valve(s): 1. There are flow control valves located on the spindle unit for adjusting the lift/retract speed of the spindle. T hey are located behind the spindle cover. 2. To increase the feed rate of the cutter blade (lift speed), pull out on the grey knob of the top flow control valve and turn counterclockwise. 3. To increase the retract speed of the cutter blade, pull out on the grey knob of the bottom flow control valve and turn counterclockwise. 4. To decrease either the lift speed or retract speed, turn the respective grey knob clockwise. 5. Once the desired setting is achieved, push the grey knob in to lock it in position.
SECTION 9 — MAINTENANCE NOTE: For ease of maintenance, the reamer can be removed from the welding environment and serviced in a proper maintenance area.

9-10 Scheduled Maintenance The TOUGH GUN TT4E Reamer will require a periodic maintenance program to ensure a reliable service life, as recommended below: DAILY The oil level in the lubricator reservoir. The life of the air motor is dependent on a consistent supply of oil. CHECK CHECK The air lines and interface cable for leaks and fraying. CHECK The alignment of the nozzle, retaining head/diffuser and gun position. CHECK The reservoir to ensure it is full of TOUGH GARD anti-spatter liquid or other water-based anti-spatter solution. CLEAN The spindle cover shroud to ensure it is free of spatter. CLEAN The reamer clamp jaw and v-block surfaces to ensure proper nozzle alignment. WEEKLY The nozzle cutter blade. The service life of the cutter blade is dependent on the type of application. In lighter duties, the blade CHECK may last indefinitely but should be inspected weekly for dullness, clogging and possible breakage.
9-11 Program Updating A. Updating ARGEE Software NOTE: This method will only work for TOUGH GUN TT4E Reamer Robotic Nozzle Cleaning Stations with firmware version 3.6.4.0. The firmware version can be identified by using the TURCK Service Tool under the column labeled "Version". 1. Install the TURCK Service Tool from www.tregaskiss.com/TT4E (under the Software tab). 2. Search for all Tregaskiss Reamer units on the network by clicking the "Search" button. 3. Select the reamer from the list and then click the "ARGEE" button in the menu bar. 4. Select the option to "Load Program". 5. Click the "Select File" button and open the ARGEE program you are updating (i.e. Reamer_5.0.arg). OM-TT4E-1.0...

6. Select the box that says "Overwrite existing program". 7. Click the "Start" button in the top left of the menu bar. The program will begin to install the new ARGEE program. Wait until the dialogue box indicates that the program has been loaded into the module. 8. The message in the ARGEE column should say "running: Tregaskiss Reamer V5.x", where 'x' represents the ARGEE program version. This confirms that the ARGEE program was loaded successfully.

11-8 Software WARNING: When conducting troubleshooting on the TOUGH GUN Figure 11-A TT4E 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. A testing / troubleshooting program is available for download from www.tregaskiss.com/TT4E (within the Software tab). This useful tool can help in diagnosing the error(s) that may occur as well as being able to diagnose it remotely. To run the program from any computer: 1. Download the program named "Reamer Online Tester" from www.tregaskiss.com/TT4E (within the Software tab). 2. Open the .exe file. NOTE: If your firewall attempts to block it, allow it and click "Run". 3. When the program opens, you should see the dialogue box shown in Figure 11-A. 4. Type in the IP address for the Ethernet module you wish to connect to and click "Connect". NOTE: Multiple units can be Figure 11-B connected by simply running the program again and connecting to the other IP addresses. 5. Once connected, the program will display which version of software is currently installed on the module as well as which step it is on within the program logic. 6. The status lights of all the inputs/outputs will be visible through the program, so there is no need to open up the reamer to view the LEDs on the Ethernet module (see Figure 11-B). NOTE:The “Fluid Level Sensor” light will be green when the fluid level is low and will not illuminate then there is sufficient anti- spatter fluid in the reservoir. 7. If "Cycle Start" is pressed, the reamer will run through an entire ...
