SETUP CONT’d
Clamp Welding Gun
With the Height Slide Assembly (CAS-1500) installed on the pendulum arm of the weaver, secure
welding gun in clamp located on the Height Slide Assembly. Arrange cables so that they do not interfere
with the movement of the machine before securing the cables in the cable anchor.
Connect Control Cables
Connect weld contact outlet pins A&B on the Drive Unit (MPD-1000) to the wire feeder contact circuit.
Install Current Sensor
Connect the Hall Effect Current Sensor (CAS-1550) “in-line” in the welding current circuit.
NOTE: It can be installed on either side of the circuit.
Plug in MdS 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 with aHC
CaUTION: machine may start moving as soon as it is powered “ON.” For operator safety, set weld
pattern to “NO WEaVE” and the Drive Unit (MPD-1000) to “OFF” before turning on the machine. Use
the power switch on the Drive Unit (MPD-1000) to turn the power “ON” and “OFF” to 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:
Pendulum Mechanism: The pendulum mechanism offers a weave of up to 1" (25.4 mm) left and right,
2" (50.8 mm) total. Center the pendulum motion 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 CAS-2051-
10 Remote Control) to position the height slide.
Tractor Position: Use the Carriage Travel Switch on the MDS Control Module (MDS-1005)
to position the Drive Unit with AHC 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]
The operator can temporarily override Automatic Height Control using the Up – down JOG Toggle
Switch on the Remote Control (CAS-2051-10) while welding. Automatic Height Control resumes
as soon as the jog switch is released. To disable the Automatic Height Control, move the Manual –
automatic Toggle Switch on the Remote Control (CAS-2051-10).
VERIFY SETUP
Before welding take a moment to verify the machine is setup correctly. With the tractor “ON” and the
arc “OFF” run the machine and verify it is moving in the intended direction. Verify Linear Weaver cross
arm moves over the full width of the weld at the desired pattern and weave speed; as well as 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.
