General safety instructions:
Care on part of the owner / operator:
The machine may only be operated by persons who are trained, instructed and authorized to
do so. These persons must be familiar with the operating manual and act accordingly when
accessing the machinery.
Basic safety measures to be addressed include:
The welding machine should not operate on its own.
Access to the Cap Dresser and/or the protected area should remain clear but also
secure.
Robots and other plant components should be suitably secured.
Be aware of all safety protocols related to robots and electrical codes.
When changing tools and working on a machine, the power has to be switched off.
Work on the terminal box must be carried out by qualified personnel (electricians).
Operating without a protective cover removed is not recommended and protective
eyewear is recommended.
Gloves are recommended when working with chips or debris from the machinery.
Be aware of pinch points on the unit.
Stay away from electric drive when in operation or under power.
General instructions for device configuration:
Devices are modular so they can be quickly and easily adapted to the various installation
configurations.
Before commissioning the device, it should be checked by a simulation or locally in the welding
system to identify that it has been configured correctly. The geometry of the welding guns
must permit for a collision-free entry and retraction of the electrode caps into the milling
cutter for satisfactory milling result.
Also, the use of tools that are not suitable for the existing electrode pairing, can lead to serious
damage of the milling tool or electrode caps.
