Proper use The device is to be used exclusively for its intended purpose. The device is intended solely for the mechanical cleaning of Fronius robot weld- ing torches in automatic mode. Any use above and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
Stay out of the working area of the robot. The device must be incorporated into a higher-level safety system within a se- cured area. If this area has to be accessed when setup and maintenance work is carried out, make sure that the entire system is switched off for the duration of the work in this area and that it is prevented from starting up accidentally, e.g.
Devices in emission class B: Satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas. This is also true for residential areas in which the energy is supplied from the public low- voltage mains. EMC device classification as per the rating plate or technical data. EMC measures In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g.
After transporting the device, it must be visually inspected for damage before commissioning. Any damage must be repaired by trained service technicians be- fore commissioning the device. Safety measures Only operate the device if all safety devices are fully functional. If the safety in normal opera- devices are not fully functional, there is a risk of tion...
Further details on safety inspection and calibration can be obtained from your service centre. They will provide you on request with any documents you may re- quire. Disposal Waste electrical and electronic equipment must be collected separately and re- cycled in an environmentally-friendly way, in accordance with the European Dir- ective and national legislation.
During the cleaning process, both wire electrodes are shortened to a defined length for the next welding process. The wire cutter is an optional extra with the Robacta Reamer Alu Edition and Robacta Reamer Alu 3000upm. For professional installation, a stable fitting base is available for all devices.
