Section 3 - Unpacking and Setup
Head Height
Adjustment
The support column features a threaded shaft for
adjusting the overall height of the thruster head. The
adjustment is secured by three lock nuts which prevent
the thruster from moving once the overall height has
been established. This is shown in Figure 3–7 and
covered in detail in Chapter 6. A reference scale and
index pointer are located next to the column to indicate
the thruster head height.
Control Connectors
Base Interface Connector
On the rear of the housing is the base control
input connector as shown in Figure 3-8. The Base
Interface cable (Part No. 200-1124-3 or 200-1545-
01) is a supplied part and is included with the welder
(see Table 3-I). Connect one end of the cable to the
rear thruster connector and the other end to the Base
Interface connector (J35) as shown in Figure 3–7. The
control cable carries the operate and emergency stop
signals from the optical operate switches and abort
switch on the base. If you are using custom automation,
you may have separate operate and abort switches,
but these still connect to the press control input on the
welder. Both the base and thruster connectors are the
same DB–9 type. The pinout for this connector is given
in Appendix A.
User I/O Connector
Directly above the DB–9 base interface connector is
a HD–15 User I/O connector for custom automation
applications. This is shown in Figure 3–8. The pinout
for this connector is given in Appendix A.
Slide Kit Connector
To the right of the DB–9 base interface connector is
a round 16–pin connector for controlling the optional
Slide Kits.
This is shown in Figure 3–8. The pinout for
this connector is given in Appendix A.
