1.7 Power and Control Connections
The Dragon A400 Drive Motors are connected to the Control Box using Drive Motor Cables.
Homing Sensors are connected to the Control Box using Homing Sensor Cables. Air-powered
components are connected to the Control Box using plastic air lines. The Torch is grounded
through the Trolley via a Ground Cable. Ensuring all cables and connections are secure is
important to maintaining consistent and long-term operation of the machine.
1.7.1 Cable Connections
There are two types of electrical
cable connections on the Dragon
A400 - Motor Connections and
Sensor Connections. These
connectors are easily identiable by
their size - Motor Connectors are .75
in. diameter, sensor connectors are
.375 in. diameter.
1.7.2 Motor Connections
Motor Connections are achieved
via GX-type cable connectors. The
Dragon A400 is shipped with all
cables connected on the machine.
No cables will be connected at the
Control Box.
1.7.3 Motor Connector Check
Insuring the GX connections for the motors are secure at all connection points is critical to the
operation of the machine. Proper tightness for the GX connector should be achieved by hand
as tightening with wrenches or other tools can damage the connector.
