  • Page 11: Chapter 1: Description

    Section I: Features Features The Single EZ-Air Kit, herein called EZ-Air, is an accessory for weld heads that pneumatically controls the actuation of the electrodes and maintains the preset firing force. At a predetermined firing force the EZ-Air closes the inlet and outlet valves to the weld head actuation cylinder and eliminates over-force.

  • Page 17: Chapter 2: Getting Started

    Compressed Air Requirements The EZ-Air has a 1/8 inch FNPT (Female NPT) fitting for connection to a shop air source of 85 – 130 psi (586 – 897 kPa). It is recommended that an auto drain air filter with a 5-micron element (Amada Weld Tech Part Number 10-373-01, catalog number ADAF) be placed in the air line.

    2 From the packing kit, locate the pneumatic tubing for connections between the EZ-Air and the up and down ports of the cylinder. Cut two pieces from the tubing 9inches long. The remaining tubing can be used for the shop- air connection (step 4).

  • Page 23: Chapter 3: Operating Instructions

    Pre-Operational Checks Before operating the equipment, verify that the power and compressed air connections are made to the EZ-Air as described in Chapter 2, Section III. Verify that all pneumatic connections are secure and that there are no air leaks.

  • Page 25: Chapter 4: User Maintenance

    Section II: Operator Maintenance Preventive Maintenance The only preventive maintenance required for the EZ-Air is occasional lubrication of the EZ-Clean valve, whenever necessary. The valve should only be lubricated with a petroleum or lithium based grease. CAUTION: Do not use synthetic oil. It will damage the EZ-Air.
