Store cable bundles behind the electrical cabinet of the boom. The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is mandatory. Machine maintenance must be carried out with all the energy supplies switched off. The disconnection and padlocking of all energy sources is mandatory. Sliding block maintenance may only be carried out with all the energy supplies switched off, when the covers are removed.

Make sure that no part of the machine can come within less than 500 mm of an obstacle according to the safety standards NF EN 349. Important: the operator passage way must absolutely be clear over a minimum width of 800 mm according to safety standards NF EN 547-1-3.
C - DESCRIPTION 1 - Description This welding boom dedicated to Submerged Arc (SA) welding makes it possible to position and move an automatic welding head. It is particularly designed for fabricating cylindrical bodies and also metal structures. 2 - Type of boom The boom is available in: “LINC-MATIC CB-LF”...
3 - Column (ref.: F) It is made up of bent mechanically welded metal. Two rolling tracks over the entire height ensure stable and smooth vertical movement of the arm support sliding block. The column has a vertical rack over its entire height, which acts as safety gear if the lifting system fails. It is fixed to the carriage or the base by means of a slewing ring with a large diameter.
9 - Electrical cabinet (ref: A) The electrical cabinet powers all the boom functions. Power to the welding equipment (welding power source) and the outside shafts (rotator, positioner etc.) is not supplied from this cabinet, but by a power supply outside the boom.
D - ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION 1 - Installation conditions The machine must be located in accordance with safety standard NF EN 547 -1 -3 to keep personnel safe. The following conditions must be fulfilled before the equipment is installed. ELECTRICITY SUPPLY see electrical diagram supplied VERY IMPORTANT The power cable (customer supply) must have a section suitable for the power rating of the installation.
2 - Floor preparation The floor does not need any particular preparation for installing the machine; however, we recommend a concrete floor for the machine to be satisfactorily stable. Thickness of concrete slab: 200mm • Flatness over the entire area: ± 5mm •...

Install the 2 column locking systems with the 2 M16 x 65 hex head screws each. Lock the rotation of the column Fill the lifting reducer with oil up to the level, i.e. approximately 4.5 litres. We recommend using oil For safety reasons, the reducer is supplied with no oil.
Page 22
Make sure that the arm is level using a level placed on the arm rail. If the parallel alignment and levelling is not correct, the eccentric rollers must be adjusted; please contact the After-Sales Service department of Lincoln Electric LINC-MATIC CB ‘B-series’...
6 - Reassembling the platform and the electrical cabinet Install the platform with 4 M 12 X 35 hex head screws. Check that the platform is horizontal and fully supported by the column reinforcements. Install the electrical cabinet with 4 M8 X 50 hex head screws. The cabinet is fixed onto the two support bars mounted on the column.
8 - Installing the cable drag chain of the column Assemble the vertical cable drag chain C2 on the duct G1 and the vertical duct G3 (the vertical duct on the column is already assembled); to do so, prepare the bundles, air hoses and welding cables on the floor in the open cable drag chain.
