Where the parameters required for the plasma welding process are supplied via a robot
control unit, a robot interface is required (e.g. ROB 3000, ROB 4000).
1. Connect a 10-pole remote control cable to the LocalNet connection on the rear of
PlasmaModule 10 and to the robot interface for PlasmaModule 10
2. Connect a 10-pole remote control cable to the LocalNet connection on the rear of
the TIG power source and to the robot interface for the TIG power source
Connecting
PlasmaModule 10
and TIG power
source to the
robot control
Connecting the
shielding gas and
plasma gas
NOTE! Where the gas for a plasma welding system is supplied by gas cylin-
ders, there must be one cylinder for plasma gas and another cylinder for shiel-
ding gas. Never take plasma gas and shielding gas from one and the same gas
cylinder.
1. Connect the plasma gas to the plasma gas connection of PlasmaModule 10 (on the
rear of the unit), working pressure approx. 6 - 8 bar (86.99 - 115.99 psi.)
Important! Use only pure argon as plasma gas
2. Connect the shielding gas to the gas connection of the power source (on the rear of
the unit)
Important! Use only inert gases as shielding gas (e.g. argon)
