INTRODUCTION
The CobraCooler™ is a separate stand-alone unit that conveniently attaches
both mechanically and electrically to the MK welding power supply. The
CobraCooler™ provides recirculating coolant to an attached water-cooled
capable orbital weldhead.
The CobraCooler™ also provides a status bit to the MK welding power supply
regarding any potential coolant failures such as no coolant flow, over-tem-
perature, or power failure. The CobraCooler™ also provides control and
tachometer signal conditioning to the MK welding power supply so that this
system can interface with a variety of different orbital weldheads.
Electrically, the MK welding power supply plugs into the CobraCooler™ for
both operational power and control signals to the weldhead and pendant. The
same electrical connections are then provided by the CobraCooler™ to the
weldhead, pendant, and AC input making for a clean, safe and portable
electrical interface.
