INTRODUCTION
This manual is intended to guide a system integrator, when integrating ESAB
equipment with an ABB robotic solution.
Supported equipment
Power source
Power sources for Integrated system: Mig 5000i / Mig5000iw
Power sources for Anybus system: Mig 5000i / 5000iw, Mig 4004i Pulse, Mig 4002c /
4002cw, Mig 5002c / 5002cw, Mig 6502c / 6502cw
Wire feed system
For hollow wrist robots like IRB1520ID, 1600ID and 2600ID it is recommended to use
drive unit RoboFeed 3004HW and electronic unit Feed Control Box 3004HW.
For robots with traditional upper arms it is recommended to use wire feed system
RoboFeed 3004W. RoboFeed 3004W contains both a mechanical drive unit and
electronics.
