2.6 Program sequence for torch cleaning
Configuration, programming and sequence of the torch cleaning station are described below.
The rapid instructions, which allow for simple use of the torch cleaning station, are made available
with the option "653-1 ABB TC96".
If this software option is not present in your robot system, the movements and signal sequences
as well as optional error management must be programmed manually
2.6.1 General
The TC 2013 torch cleaning system has an EA interface, which can depict the following signal
conditions:
• digital input clamping element open
• digital input clamping element closed
• digital input milling cutter in upper end position
• digital input milling cutter in lower end position
• digital input release agent present
• digital output, start of torch cleaning (milling cutter in) or wire cutting (dual function)
• digital output torch blow-off (depending on welding equipment used)
• digital output spraying
The software option "653-1 ABB TC96" makes separate rapid instructions available for torch
cleaning, torch blow-out/spraying and shortening of the welding wire. The operator or program-
mer does not have to take account of the activation of inputs and outputs. This is taken over by
rapid instructions. The necessary signals merely need to be defined and correctly reported in the
configuration.
The following instructions are available.
• MoveMechCleanL / MoveMechCleanJ for torch cleaning
• MoveSprayL / MoveSprayJ for spraying of the release agent
• MoveWireCutL / MoveWireCutJ for shortening of the welding wire
NOTICE
The detailed description of this option can be found in
the operating instructions "3HCA024847-001 Torch
Services", which are supplied with the RobotWare doc-
umentation.
