General
Device concept
The KD 7000 cold-wire wire-feed unit has
been developed specifically for the Ma-
gicWave 2600/2600 CEL and TransTig
2600 CEL/3000 power sources.
At the same time, the flexible design of the
KD 7000 with its own mains cable and inte-
grated drive control allows for combination
with more or less any TIG power source or
laser welding system.
The wire speed is specified either using the
controls on the KD 7000 itself or by means
of an analogue signal from an external ro-
bot or machine controller. The drive control
on the KD 7000 ensures precise adherence
to the specified wire speed.
The TIG-KD manual torch can be used for manual cold wire TIG welding.
For robot applications with the TIG cold-wire welding process, the TIG-KD connection box
acts as a central node to network the robot control to the power source and the KD 7000.
To set the welding parameters for the power source on the robot, the TIG-KD connection
box supports the simulation of various remote controls.
All other communication with the power source takes place via the analogue/digital robot
interface that is required for the MagicWave 2600/2600 CEL and TransTig 2600 CEL/3000
TIG power sources.
The TIG-KD connection box is not intended for cold wire TIG welding applications with la-
ser welding systems. In this case, external control of the KD 7000 is via the robot controller.
The Robacta Drive KD is recommended as a wire drive for the KD 7000 in the case of al-
uminium applications. This is an external drive system that draws the wire during the weld-
ing process itself. The Robacta Drive provides for exceptionally smooth wire travel.
The 4 roller drive integrated in the KD 7000 - that pushes the wire - is designed for use
when working with unalloyed/high-alloy steels. The VR 1530 KD external 4 roller drive is
recommended for robot applications with unalloyed/high-alloy steels.
If it is combined with an external wire drive and an external wirespool holder, the KD 7000
can be used as a flexible control and adjustment unit with unlimited siting options.
Because there is no need for a connection to the hosepack, the KD 7000 can be set up in
virtually any position.
Application areas
The KD 7000 cold wire wire-feed unit is ideally suited for automated and robotic welding
tasks, however it can also be used for special applications in manual welding. The KD 7000
can be used for an extremely varied range of applications both for TIG and laser welding.
Depending on the design of the welding machine or the welding robot and the system com-
ponents, the flexible design of the KD 7000 means the layout of the wirefeed components
can be customised. The various configuration options are explained in the "Application"
section below.
