3) Turn on any of the two wireless remote - control pendants.
WARNING!
Only one remote control unit is to be used while utilising the equipment. The other remote
control unit must be turned off and securely stored in a designated location.
4) Check that the emergency stop buttons are not pressed in.
5) Press the E-stop rest pushbutton.
If running as standalone, press the control mode pushbutton (white lamp).
In case an ESAB CaB is connected to the roller bed, check and verify that settings in the PEK are
correct and match the roller bed parameters.
The roller bed is now ready to operate.
5.5 Operating the roller beds
1) When the roller beds are correctly aligned and the wheel stands are in the correct position, start
loading the vessel on the roller beds.
This must be done steadily, to not shock load the roller beds. Shock loading cause damage to the
gearmotors.
Ensure that no protuberances on the vessel can strike objects around the roller beds or the floor
during rotation.
2) Press the desired travel direction (pushbutton 3 or 8). The roller beds now start to turn the vessel.
3) To adjust the speed up or down press pushbutton 5 or 10.
NOTE!
Test the emergency stop functionality frequently by pressing the e-stop pushbuttons, at
least one time a month.
5.6 Operation safety
Do not place multiple drive units under one vessel. This is only possible if the optional synchronization
cable (W212) has been supplied with the roller beds. In this case, the primary control panel (RB1)
controls the secondary drive unit (RB2).
Do not let parts of the vessel, for example, the connection tubes, come into contact with the roller
beds, floor, or objects in the vicinity during rotation. This can cause damage to the roller beds and
cause the wheels to slip or overload the units.
Make sure to have proper earthing during welding. Lack of proper earthing can cause the electrics on
the roller beds to short out.
If the emergency stop button is pressed in, find out the reason for the action before restarting the roller
bed.
Make sure that the wheel stands are placed in a correct position to fit the size of the actual work piece
diameter. See "Adjusting the wheel stands" chapter.
See section "Adjusting the wheel stands" for more information. Make sure that the drive and idler units
are aligned parallel to each other. Otherwise, the vessel can creep lengthways and fall off the roller
beds. This can also cause wear and damage to the roller bed wheels.
