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.
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.
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. when there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the device is installed is close to either radio or television receivers).
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 injury or death to the operator or a third party, damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operator, inefficient operation of the device.
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. Used equipment must be returned to the distrib- utor or disposed of via an approved local collection and disposal facility. Correct disposal of used equipment promotes the sustainable recycling of material re- sources.
Device concept The clamping device on the front of the Robacta Reamer V Twin holds the gas nozzle in place during cleaning. A cleaning cutter is used to clean the nozzle. After the cleaning process, a parting agent is applied to the inside and front of the gas nozzle through the spray nozzle that is fixed in the middle of the cleaning motor.
The "Robacta Reamer" parting agent (item number 42,0411,8042) and the cleaning cutter are not part of the scope of supply. Robacta Reamer V Twin clean- ing device with wire cutter Spatter tray Tightening key for cleaning mo- Compressed air relief valve...
