Attention!
Should a final position proximity switch not be set correctly, then its operation should be checked
before operating the station.Should a faulty switch be evident, then manually move the robot out
of the change-over station. Isolate the station from both power and compressed air before ef-
fecting any repair or replacement of switches.
After resolving any ERROR-message the ATS-ROTOR is ready for operation, please ensure that the start
sequence is followed from the beginning.
If in doubt, then please contact your supplier before attempting to operate the station.
Should it not be able to locate the cause for an ERROR-message, the customer service has to be informed.
Setting of the proximity switches resp. reed contacts
(please refer to the service plan)
The setting of each proximity switch requires certain operating conditions of the ATS-ROTOR to be fulfilled.
The power supply must be guaranteed to recognise the status of each proximity switch accordingly. The
required operating conditions are described in the following.
S1-Torch neck available:
When compressed air is turned on (rotor is in upper final position) the torch neck remains in the holder
and positioned near the proximity switch. The distance between the torch neck and the proximity
switch is set at approx. 1 mm.
S2-robot in change-over station:
Loosen the proximity switch, press the actuator bolt (pls. refer to figure 3) manually up to the stop and
screw-in the distance proximity switch back down to the stop and turn it back by approx. 0.5 up to
0.75 rotations. Secure it with the counter-nut.
S3-Decoupled:
Turn-off the compressed air-supply, so that the fork head can be moved manually. Move the fork head
down to the lower stop, slightly loosen the reed-contact and move it upwards until the LED is activated,
then move it back 1 mm and screw it tight. Re-check the switching distance of 1 mm by moving the fork
head up and down manually.
