FRC-60 remote control Proper use The FRC-60 remote control should only be used for remotely operating and presetting the powered FTU 900-500, 900-1000, 1200-1000 and 1600-1500 tripod units. Any use above and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not be li- able for any damage resulting from such improper use. -
Page 19: System Descriptions
System descriptions General The illustrations below show the FRC-60 remote control connected up to commonly-used components. Two separate applications are represented. In this application the remote control is used to activate a mechanised lengthwise seam "Welding axis" weld. This is done with the workpiece in either a horizontal or vertical position. The weld- application ing path is set by means of adjustable limit positions on the tripod unit. -
Page 20: Offset Welding Axis" Application
The welding path is set by means of adjustable limit positions on the tripod unit. The FRC-60 remote control positions the welding torch relative to the workpiece by means of a motor. Overlay welding is started by the rotary unit controller. For each complete revolution the welding torch is shifted by 1 step. -
