6 Putting into operation

6.1 Maintenance position of the robot
The iCAT WH robot mount serves for accommodating the welding torches in
exact position. The mount is fastened to the robot by means of cylinder head
screws and a robot flange. This iCAT version can only be used in connection
with ROBO WH torches. For iCAT WH mounts, a range of different standard
welding torches is available. The inserted spring acts with its holding force
directly upon the triggering flange and fixes the switching axis, which is
positioned by three pins, in zero position. In the event of a collision, the
iCAT WH can be deflected by 10° in X/Y direction and can thus prevent, as
a buffer, damage to the torch, peripheral equipment and robot. The integrated
microswitches represent an additional component in the subordinate safety
circuit. In the event of a collision, these microswitches interrupt a circuit, which
can, for example, shut down the drive units of the robot. The signal flow for this
operation is carried out via the control lead in the cable assembly.
DANGER
Risk of injury due to unexpected start-up.
For the entire duration of maintenance, servicing, dismounting and repair
work, the following instructions must be adhered to:
• Switch off the power source.
• Close off the compressed air supply.
• Pull the mains plug.
NOTE
• The iCAT WH mount may only be put into operation by trained
personnel.
Before the iCAT WH and the cable assembly can be mounted, the robot must
be moved to the maintenance position.
NOTE
• The maintenance position has to be approached with the robot.
• For the correct attachment of the iCAT WH mount and the cable
assembly, set the 4th, 5th and 6th axes of the robot as follows:
4th axis = neutral position, 5th axis = neutral position, 6th axis = neutral
position
