Coolant Connection (Water Cooled Torches Only)
Connect the water return line from the recirculator through the grommet on
the rear panel and into the 5/8" - 18 L.H. thread on the power block. The
water “IN” hose connects directly to the torch water “IN” fi tting; it does not
pass through the power supply.
Wire Threading Procedue
Wire Spool Installation
Release latches, and open right side door of cabinet.
Remove spool retainer nut from spindle hub.
Raise wire retainer bar to latched position.
Install wire spool onto spindle hub so that wire feeds from bottom of spool
towards slave motor. Make sure that the hole in the spool aligns with pin
on spindle hub. The white dot on the end of the spindle hub will aid in this
alignment.
Replace the spool retainer nut.
Lower the wire retainer bar onto the spool.
Wire Spool Drag Setting
NOTE:
Standard factory setting of the Spindle Tension Knob is set for All Other Wires.
There are two visible position settings for this Knob, IN - All Other Wires
(Fig. 1) and, OUT - .030/.035 Al Only (Fig. 2). The Spindle Tension Knob
must be set to match the Wire Size Selector Switch on the Cobramatic®
front panel.
To change this setting, it is easier done without the spool of wire on the
spindle. Remove the wire spool retainer and re-install it reversed back onto
the Spindle Tension Knob (Fig. 3). In the “Tool Mode”, the square shaped
end of the retainer fi ts onto the Knob. Grab the retainer and turn in the
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE direction until it stops. The Knob is now set to the
OUT position (.030/.035 AL Only).
To reset the Knob back to the factory setting of All Other Wires, use the
retainer as described above, and turn in the CLOCKWISE direction until it
stops. The Knob is now set to the IN position. Turning the retainer and
Knob in this direction may require more effort, since turning CLOCKWISE is
working against a spring.
Load wire spool onto spindle according to the previous instructions.
Replace the spool retainer nut.
