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 fixed version with base LINC-MATIC CB-LM powered carriage version...
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.
LINC-MATIC CB C-series. Disconnecting box: Lincoln Electric offers two types of disconnecting box depending on the number of power sources installed on the LINC-MATIC CB C-series. This box provides the electricity supply required by the installation. The function of this cabinet is to separate each of the elements in the installation from the customer’s power supply system (LINC-MATIC CB C-series, POWERWAVE etc.)
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 •...
