Any use above and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
The manufacturer likewise accepts no liability for inadequate or incorrect results.
Operation or storage of the device outside the stipulated area will be deemed as not in accordance with the intended purpose. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
Ambient temperature range:The surrounding air must be free from dust, acids, corrosive gases or substances, etc.
Can be used at altitudes of up to 2000 m (6561 ft. 8.16 in.)
Checks must be carried out at regular intervals to ensure that operators are working in a safety-conscious manner.
Before leaving the workplace, ensure that people or property cannot come to any harm in your absence.
Devices with a higher rating may affect the energy quality of the mains due to their current consumption.
This may affect a number device types in terms of:*) at the interface with the public grid
see "Technical data"
In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device should check whether the device may be connected, where appropriate by discussing the matter with the power supply company.
IMPORTANT! Ensure that the mains connection is earthed properly
The fumes produced during welding contain harmful gases and vapours.
Welding fumes contain substances that cause cancer, as stated in Monograph 118 of the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Use at-source extraction and a room extraction system.
If necessary, use a welding torch with an integrated extraction device.
Keep your face away from welding fumes and gases.
Fumes and hazardous gasesEnsure an adequate supply of fresh air. Ensure that there is a ventilation rate of at least 20 m³ per hour at all times.
Otherwise, a welding helmet with an air supply must be worn.
If there is any doubt about whether the extraction capacity is sufficient, the measured toxic emission values should be compared with the permissible limit values.
The following components are responsible, amongst other things, for the degree of toxicity of welding fumes:The relevant material safety data sheets and manufacturer's specifications for the listed components should therefore be studied carefully.
Recommendations for trade fair scenarios, risk management measures and for identifying working conditions can be found on the European Welding Association website under Health & Safety (https://european-welding.org).
Flammable vapours (e.g. solvent fumes) should be kept away from the arc's radiation area.
Close the shielding gas cylinder valve or main gas supply if no welding is taking place.
Flying sparks may cause fires or explosions.
Never weld close to flammable materials.
Flammable materials must be at least 11 metres (36 ft. 1.07 in.) away from the arc, or alternatively covered with an approved cover.
A suitable, tested fire extinguisher must be available and ready for use.
Sparks and pieces of hot metal may also get into adjacent areas through small gaps or openings. Take appropriate precautions to prevent any danger of injury or fire.
Welding must not be performed in areas that are subject to fire or explosion or near sealed tanks, vessels or pipes unless these have been prepared in accordance with the relevant national and international standards.
Do not carry out welding on containers that are being or have been used to store gases, propellants, mineral oils or similar products. Residues pose an explosive hazard.
An electric shock is potentially life threatening and can be fatal.
Do not touch live parts either inside or outside the device.
During MIG/MAG welding and TIG welding, the welding wire, the wire spool, the feed rollers and all pieces of metal that are in contact with the welding wire are live.
Always set the wirefeeder up on a sufficiently insulated surface or use a suitable, insulated wirefeeder holder.
Make sure that you and others are protected with an adequately insulated, dry base or cover for the earth or ground potential. This base or cover must extend over the entire area between the body and the earth or ground potential.
All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately dimensioned. Replace loose connections and scorched, damaged, or inadequately dimensioned cables and leads immediately.
Use the handle to ensure the power connections are tight before every use.
In the case of power cables with a bayonet connector, rotate the power cable around the longitudinal axis by at least 180° and pretension.
Do not wrap cables or leads around the body or parts of the body.
The electrode (rod electrode, tungsten electrode, welding wire, etc.) mustDouble the open circuit voltage of a welding system can occur between the welding electrodes of two welding systems. Touching the potentials of both electrodes at the same time may be fatal under certain circumstances.
Arrange for the mains cable to be checked regularly by a qualified electrician to ensure the ground conductor is functioning properly.
Protection class I devices require a mains supply with ground conductor and a connector system with ground conductor contact for proper operation.
Operation of the device on a mains supply without ground conductor and on a socket without ground conductor contact is only permitted if all national regulations for protective separation are observed.
Otherwise, this is considered gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
If necessary, provide adequate earthing for the workpiece.
Switch off unused devices.
Wear a safety harness if working at height.
Before working on the device, switch it off and pull out the mains plug.
Attach a clearly legible and easy-to-understand warning sign to the device to prevent anyone from plugging the mains plug back in and switching it on again.
After opening the device:If work on live parts is required, have a second person switch off the main switch at the right moment.
Ensure that the workpiece is held securely by the workpiece clamp.
Attach the workpiece clamp as close as possible to the area that is to be welded.
Position the device with sufficient insulation against electrically conductive environments, such as insulation against conductive floor or insulation to conductive racks.
If power distribution boards, twin-head mounts, etc., are being used, note the following: The electrode of the welding torch / electrode holder that is not used is also live. Make sure that the welding torch / electrode holder that is not used is kept sufficiently insulated.
In the case of automated MIG/MAG applications, ensure that only an insulated wire electrode is routed from the welding wire drum, large wirefeeder spool or wirespool to the wirefeeder.
EMC device classification as per the rating plate or technical data.
In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g. when there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the device is installed is close to either radio or television receivers).
If this is the case, then the operator is obliged to take appropriate action to rectify the situation.
Do not reach into the rotating cogs of the wire drive or into rotating drive components.
Covers and side panels may only be opened/removed while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.
During operationThe welding wire emerging from the welding torch poses a high risk of injury (piercing of the hand, injuries to the face and eyes, etc.).
Therefore, always keep the welding torch facing away from the body (devices with wirefeeder) and wear suitable protective goggles.
Never touch the workpiece during or after welding - risk of burns.
Slag can jump off cooling workpieces. The specified protective equipment must therefore also be worn when reworking workpieces, and steps must be taken to ensure that other people are also adequately protected.
Welding torches and other parts with a high operating temperature must be allowed to cool down before handling.
Special provisions apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion
- observe relevant national and international regulations.
Welding machines for work in areas with increased electrical risk (e.g. near boilers) must carry the 'Safety' sign. However, the welding machine must not be located in such areas.
Risk of scalding from escaping coolant. Switch off cooling unit before disconnecting coolant flow or return lines.
Observe the information on the coolant safety data sheet when handling coolant. The coolant safety data sheet may be obtained from your service centre or downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
Use only suitable load-carrying equipment supplied by the manufacturer when transporting devices by crane.
If the wirefeeder is attached to a crane holder during welding, always use a suitable, insulated wirefeeder hoisting attachment (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
Welding with the device during crane transport is only permitted if this is clearly stated in the intended use of the device.
If the device has a carrying strap or handle, this is intended solely for carrying by hand. The carrying strap is not to be used if transporting with a crane, counterbalanced lift truck or other mechanical hoist.
All lifting tackle (straps, handles, chains, etc.) used in connection with the device or its components must be tested regularly (e.g. for mechanical damage, corrosion or changes caused by other environmental factors).
The testing interval and scope of testing must comply with applicable national standards and directives as a minimum.
Odourless and colourless shielding gas may escape unnoticed if an adapter is used for the shielding gas connection. Prior to assembly, seal the device-side thread of the adapter for the shielding gas connection using suitable Teflon tape.
Use filters if necessary.
Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under pressure and can explode if damaged. As the shielding gas cylinders are part of the welding equipment, they must be handled with the greatest of care.
Protect shielding gas cylinders containing compressed gas from excessive heat, mechanical impact, slag, naked flames, sparks and arcs.
Mount the shielding gas cylinders vertically and secure according to instructions to prevent them falling over.
Keep the shielding gas cylinders well away from any welding or other electrical circuits.
Never hang a welding torch on a shielding gas cylinder.
Never touch a shielding gas cylinder with an electrode.
Risk of explosion - never attempt to weld a pressurised shielding gas cylinder.
Only use shielding gas cylinders suitable for the application in hand, along with the correct and appropriate accessories (regulator, hoses and fittings). Only use shielding gas cylinders and accessories that are in good condition.
Turn your face to one side when opening the valve of a shielding gas cylinder.
Close the shielding gas cylinder valve if no welding is taking place.
If the shielding gas cylinder is not connected, leave the valve cap in place on the cylinder.
The manufacturer's instructions must be observed as well as applicable national and international regulations for shielding gas cylinders and accessories.
Risk of suffocation from the uncontrolled escape of shielding gas
Shielding gas is colourless and odourless and, in the event of a leak, can displace the oxygen in the ambient air.
Use internal directives and checks to ensure that the workplace environment is always clean and clearly laid out.
Only set up and operate the device in accordance with the degree of protection shown on the rating plate.
When setting up the device, ensure there is an all-round clearance of 0.5 m (1 ft. 7.69 in.) to ensure that cooling air can flow in and out freely.
When transporting the device, observe the relevant national and local guidelines and accident prevention regulations. This applies especially to guidelines regarding the risks arising during transport.
Do not lift or transport operational devices. Switch off and disconnect devices from the grid before transport or lifting.
Before transporting the device, allow coolant to drain completely and detach the following components:After transporting the device, the device must be visually inspected for damage before commissioning. Any damage must be repaired by trained service technicians before commissioning the device.

If there is a TX/i torch body change system or WireBrake in the welding system, select the next larger CrashBox.
When cleaning the welding torch with the TC 2000, also select the next larger CrashBox.
A robot-specific, isolated robot flange is required for fitting the CrashBox /i.
To avoid damage to the welding torch or the torch hosepack, or to prevent false triggering of the CrashBox, consider the following points:
Avoid strong accelerations and maximum speeds during robot movements.
Ensure the free movement of the torch hosepack during all robot movements;
The torch hosepack must not tighten in any position and thus exert a strain on the CrashBox.
The torch hosepack must not whip around or get stuck when moving.
If possible, clarify all movement situations with Fronius system components in a simulation as early as the concept phase.

The CrashBox /i is designed specifically for fitting to the robot arm and for holding gas-cooled and water-cooled robot hosepacks and robot drive units. For PAP systems, the torch hosepack runs through the CrashBox and then through the robot arm. In conventional robot systems the torch hosepack runs along the robot arm and is attached to the clamp. In the event of a crash, the magnetic coupling smoothly deflects the forces along a large deflection path.
The clamp system can be used for the following push robot hosepacks:
Only send complete CrashBoxes for repair!
Incomplete CrashBoxes (e.g. without a magnetic ring) cannot be checked in the course of a repair.

The wire electrode can be retracted using one of two methods:
Method 1
Retracting the wire electrode at the preset wire retract speed:
Method 2
Retracting the wire electrode in 1 mm increments (0.039 in. increments)
Do not allow long lengths of wire electrode to be retracted, as the wire electrode is not wound onto the wirespool when retracted.
If there was a ground earth connection with the contact tip before the wire retract button was pressed, the wire electrode will be retracted when the button is pressed until it is short-circuit-free - it retracts by no more 10 mm (0.39 in.) with each press of the button.
If the wire electrode still needs to be retracted, press the wire retract button again.
Wire threading button
Wire threading can be performed using one of two methods:
Method 1
Threading the wire electrode using the preset feeder inching speed:
Method 2
Threading the wire electrode in 1 mm increments (0.039 in. increments)
If there is a ground earth connection with the contact tip before the wire threading button is pressed, the wire electrode will be retracted when the button is pressed until it is short-circuit-free – it retracts by no more than 10 mm (0.39 in.) with each press of the button.
If there is still a ground earth connection with the contact tip after 10 mm (0.39 in.) of wire retraction, pressing the wire threading button again will cause the wire electrode to be retracted again by a maximum of 10 mm (0.39 in.). The process will be repeated until there is no longer a ground earth connection with the contact tip.

In addition to environmental and operating conditions, the service life of the PAP welding torch hosepack is heavily influenced by the axis rotation in the fifth and sixth robot axis.
For details, see the following sections:
The PAP welding torch hosepack reaches its optimal service life when operated within the recommended axis rotations.
Any axis rotation beyond these limits accelerates wear and thus reduces the service life of the PAP torch hosepack.
The expected hosepack service life is shown in the diagram "Hosepack service life depending on the axis rotation in the fifth and sixth robot axis" starting on page (→).
(4) | Fourth robot axis: +/- 175° |
(5) | Fifth robot axis: +/- 90° |
(6) | Sixth robot axis: +/- 200° |
(4)+(6) | Fourth + sixth robot axis: +/- 360° in total. |
Operating at the maximum values of the axis rotations reduces the service life of the PAP welding torch hosepack.
The expected hosepack service life is shown in the diagram "Hosepack service life depending on the axis rotation in the fifth and sixth robot axis" starting on page (→).
Operating outside the limits invalidates any warranty claim.
Maximum axis rotations reduce the hosepack service life.
(4) | Fourth robot axis: +/- 175° |
(5) | Fifth robot axis: +/- 120° |
(6) | Sixth robot axis: +/- 360° |
(4)+(6) | Fourth + sixth robot axis: max. +/- 535° in total. |
= recommended axis rotation in the sixth robot axis
Example:
With an axis rotation in the sixth robot axis of 280° and at a tilt angle of 90° in the fifth robot axis, the relative service life of the hosepack is 76-77%.
IMPORTANT! The values specified in the diagram are standard values that may vary depending on the environmental and operating conditions.
The values were determined at an axis rotation of 0° in the fourth robot axis.
