SETUP CONT’d
Position and Clamp Welding Gun
With CAS-1500 installed on the Linear Weaver Cross Arm, secure the welding gun in the clamp located
on the end of the Height Slide Assembly. Arrange cables so that they do not interfere with the movement
of the machine before securing the cable in the cable anchor.
Connect Control Cables
Connect weld contact outlet pins A&B, on the MPD-1000 Drive unit to the wire feeder contact circuit.
Install Current Sensor
Connect CAS-1550 Hall Effect Current Sensor “in-line” in the welding current circuit. NOTE: It can be
installed on either side of the circuit.
Plug in MdS System with aHC
Inspect the power cord before each use. Do not use if damaged. Plug in the machine to a power outlet
of the appropriate voltage.
Power ON the MdS System with aHC
CAUTION: machine may start moving as soon as it is powered “ON.” Use the power switch on the
MPD-1000 Drive Unit to turn the power “ON” and “OFF” to the machine. For operator safety, set weld
pattern to “NO WEaVE” and the Drive Unit to “OFF” before turning on the machine.
Position Welding Gun
Proper setup of the welding gun is critical to a successful weld. In addition to manually positioning
the welding gun within the clamp, the welding gun must also be properly set with respect to three
mechanical controls: The cross arm, the height controller and the tractor position.
Cross arm: The cross arm offers a weave of up to 1" (25.4 mm) left and right, 2" (50.8 mm)
total. Center the cross arm before placing the welding gun over the work area.
Height Slide assembly: The slide assembly has 2" (50.8 mm) of travel available. For best results,
position the slide assembly in the middle of the total range before setting the
welding gun. Use the Up – Down JOG Toggle Switch located on Remote
Control (CAS-2051-10).
Tractor Position: Use the tractor Carriage Travel Switch to position the Drive Unit
at the start of the weld. The operator can increase or decrease the tractor
travel speed at any time using the speed control on the MDS Control Module.
Set Motion Parameters
Use the Weaver Control Module (MDS-1005) to set the motion parameters. Refer to “Modular Drive
System Instructions and Parts Manual” for detailed explanation of all settings and adjustments for a
Linear Weaver (WPD-1100).
VERIFY SETUP
Before welding, take a moment to verify the machine is set up correctly. With the tractor “ON” and the
Arc “OFF”, run the machine and verify it is moving in the intended direction. Verify cross arm is in the
proper position as well as the Drive Unit travel speed. Use the Up – Down JOG Toggle Switch on the
Control Box (CAS-2051) to make sure enough vertical travel is available.
