4.2 Welding cable connection
The welding cable is connected through the welding cable socket marked “X20” on
the ALPHA 850.
Based on the system components to be configured, the welding cable must be
connected to the ALPHA 850 as follows:
Standard operation:
•
When connecting a welding gun with manual stud loading, the gun’s welding
cable must be:
- connected directly to the ALPHA 850,
- connected through a welding cable extension (option) to the ALPHA 850.
Automatic mode (option):
•
When connecting a gun with automatic stud loading, the welding gun’s
multicoupling must be:
- connected directly to the sorter,
- connected through an optional hose package extension to the sorter.
•
The connection between the sorter and welding ALPHA 850 welding device is
made with an optional welding device (see Chapter 1.8).
Welding cable connection
The DIX 50 welding cable plug of the welding gun or
configured NSA 606 sorter must be connected to the socket
marked X20.
The connection must be secured by a strong turn rightward.
Warning:
•
The welding cable connection cannot be locked! The connection
must be tested regularly for tightness!
•
To prevent inductive shunts, the welding cable must be laid
without looping, to the degree possible.
