General remarks
CAUTION!
Risk of injury from rotating cogs on the wire drive.
If you use the wirefeeder without the "VR 1500 cover", you must take other suitable safety
precautions.
WARNING!
An electric shock can be fatal.
If you do not use the optional VR 1500 adapter plate, the wirefeeder must be mounted in
such a way that it is insulated from earth.
Unreeling wire-
feeders
Unreeling wirefeeders are mainly used for large spools and welding wire drums, which are
located outside the welding system. The welding wire is transported to the wirefeeder by
means of the unreeling wirefeeder. A push-bull calibration is required between the wire-
feeder and unreeling wirefeeder.
The unreeling wirefeeders are available in the following versions:
VR 1500 cover
for protecting the drive components of the robot wirefeeder
VR 1500 adapter plate
for fitting the robot wirefeeder to the robot arm or fitting the hosepack strain-relief device
VR 1500 torch support
to stabilise and support the torch hosepack (increased service life for the torch hosepack)
Wirefeeding hose
for protecting the wire along its route from the wirespool to the robot wirefeeder; different
lengths are available for aluminium and steel wires
