4.1.2 Robotic welding
Here shows an example of robotic welding (CO
2
/MAG) system. It is necessary to prepare the follow-
ing equipment other than this welding power source. For robot welding, only mild steel (solid), mild steel
FCW, stainless steel (solid) and stainless steel FCW are applicable.

Handling of wire feeder and welding torch
•
Make sure to use this welding power source
with the specified wire feeder. Otherwise, it is
not possible to perform welding operation.
Such wrong combination can damage equip-
ment.
•
For details including handling of wire feeder
and welding torch, see operating instructions
of each product.

Quality of applied gas is crucial as it directly
affects welding quality.
•
For CO
2
welding, use a carbon dioxide gas for
welding or of which water contents is 0.005%
or less.)
•
For MAG welding, use a mixed gas for MAG
welding: argon gas with 5 % to 20 % of car-
bon dioxide gas.
•
In case of mixing two gases (carbon dioxide
and argon), use a gas mixer.
•
For argon gas for the mixed gas, make sure to
use high-purity argon gas for welding (99.9 %
purity or higher).

Line-pack
wire feeder
A wire feeder for line-pack. An
adaptor unit

is needed sepa-
rately.
*
Adaptor unit consists of flexi-
ble conduit, wire guide and
FC support.
CAUTION
Do not install welding power source
near the workpiece.
Spatter may enter inside the power
source through the suction opening
for cooling fans at the front and side
panels, which can cause fire and burn-
out of internal equipment.
