Section I: Features Features The Dual 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. EZ- Air operates from power supply-generated power and has the following features: •...
EZ-Air. Shop air supply must be 85 – 140 psi (586 – 965 kPa). Fixed Air Regulator. Controls pressure of air from shop air source into EZ-Air. Regulator is factory set for 78 psi (538 kPa) and does not require any user adjustment. DUAL EZ-AIR KIT 990-127...

The EZ-Air has a 1/8 inch FNPT (Female NPT) fitting for connection to a shop air source of 85 – 140 psi (586 – 965 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.
Unpacking Unpack the EZ-Air from its shipping box and verify that all parts are present. Table 1-2 lists the components of the ship kit, Amada Weld Tech Part Number 4-81109-01, which contains parts needed to install the EZ-Air. NOTE: Carefully place the packing materials back in the packing boxes and store for future shipping.
Air is in the vertical support slot, tighten the mounting screw. CAUTION: Be sure no part of the EZ-Air touches the copper power bars; any contact Figure 2-2. Installing EZ-Air will cause shorting of the weld current. 4. Re-install the vertical support end cap. DUAL EZ-AIR KIT 990-127...
