Torch blow out
(Blow out weld-
ing torch) - Single
Bit
If the robot wirefeeder is fitted with an additional solenoid valve for compressed air, this
is controlled using the Torch blow out signal.
The signal is used to remove contaminations from the gas nozzle during torch cleaning.
Welding simula-
tion (Welding
simulation) -
Single Bit
The power source uses the Welding simulation signal to simulate an actual welding pro-
cess.
-
This allows the user to follow a welding path that has been programmed in the robot
controller without any actual welding taking place
-
All signals are set as if actual welding were taking place (without time dependencies,
no actual values)
•
Arc stable
•
Process active
•
Main current signal
-
No arc is ignited
-
No wire electrode is fed
-
The gas solenoid valve is not triggered
Synchropulse on
(SynchroPulse
on) - Single Bit
The Synchropulse on signal activates/deactivates the SynchroPulse function set in the
power source. The signal can be set before or during welding.
WireBrake on
(Wire brake on) -
Single Bit
By activating the WireBrake on signal, the wire electrode is held by the OPT/i MHP
WireBrake.
OPT/i MHP WireBrake is a mechanical component that is installed between the torch
hosepack and the torch body.
WireBrake on can be activated independently of the operating mode (internal parameter
selection, special 2-step mode characteristics, Job Mode, etc.).
If OPT/i MHP WireBrake is detected in the system, the WireBrake on signal is automatic-
ally set in Touch sensing.
NOTE!
Risk of signal overlap.
This may result in problems holding the wire electrode.
▶
It is not recommended to activate any other signals while the WireBrake on signal is
active.
▶
After deactivating the WireBrake on signal, wait 4 seconds before activating another
signal.
▶
A detailed description of the program sequence can be found in the Robacta TX
10i/G/W Operating Instructions.
Additional information for TWIN systems:
WireBrake is not available for TWIN hosepacks.
Torchbody
Xchange (Change
torch body) -
Single Bit
The Torchbody Xchange signal is only available in conjunction with a torch body change
system.
If the signal is High,, the torch body coupling is opened.
