SAFETY

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION,

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY

QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

1) The equipment is not waterproof. Using
the unit in a wet environment may result
in serious injury. Do not touch equipment
when wet or standing in a wet location.

2) The unused connectors have power on
them. Always keep the unused connec­ tors covered with the supplied protective
panels. Operation of the machine without
the protective panels may result in injury.

3) Never open the equipment without rst
unplugging the power cord or serious
injury may result.

4) Verify the customer-supplied power

connections are made in accordance

with all applicable local and national
electrical safety codes. If none exist,
use International Electric Code (IEC)

950.

5) Never remove or bypass the equipment
power cord ground. Verify the equipment
is grounded in accordance with all appli­ cable local and national electrical safety
codes. If none exist, use International
Electric Code (IEC) 950.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

POSSIBLE.

1) Do not plug in the power cord without rst
verifying the equipment is OFF and the
cord input voltage is the same as required
by the machine or serious damage may
result.

2) Always verity both the pinion and wheels
are fully engaged before applying power
or equipment damage may occur.

3) Do not leave the equipment unattended.

4) Remove from the work site and store in
a safe location when not in use.

FALLING EQUIPMENT
can cause serious
personal injury and
equipment damage.

Faulty or careless user installation is
possible. As a result, never stand or walk
underneath equipment.

MOVING PARTS can
cause serious injury.

READ INSTRUCTIONS.

Read the instruction manual before
installing and using the equipment.

2

1) Never try to stop the pinion from moving
except by removing power or by using the
STOP control.

2) Do not remove any protective panels,
covers or guards and operate equipment.

HIGH FREQUENCY WARNINGS

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS ARE REQUIRED WHEN USING PLASMA,

TIG OR ANY WELDING PROCESS THAT USES HIGH FREQUENCY

TO STRIKE AN ARC.

WARNING: HIGH FREQUENCY CAN EFFECT MACHINE

OPERATION AND THEREFORE, WELD QUALITY.

Read the precautions below before installing and using the equipment.

PRECAUTIONS:

1) Some plasma or welding cables are strong sources of high frequency interference.

NEVER lay a plasma or welding cable across the controls of the machine.

2) Always physically separate the plasma or welding cable leads from the machine
cables. For example, the plasma or welding cable leads should NEVER be bundled
with a pendant cable or the machine power cord. Maximize the separation between
any machine cables and the plasma or welding cables.

3) Strictly follow the grounding procedures specied for the plasma or welding unit.
NOTE: Some plasma and welding units produce exceptionally large amounts of high
frequency noise. They may require a grounding rod be driven into the earth within six
feet (2 meters) of the plasma or welding unit to become compatible with an automatic
cutting or welding process.

4) If the high frequency is produced using a spark gap, adjust the points so the gap is as
small as possible. The larger the gap, the higher the voltage and the higher the inter-
ference.

5) Some plasma or welding units will inject high frequency interference into the AC
power line. Use separate power line branches whenever possible to power the
plasma or welding source and the machine. Do not plug them into the same outlet
box.

6) High frequency noise may enter the machine through the plasma or welding supply
remote contactor leads. Some plasma and welding sources can produce noise spikes
of up to several thousand volts. These sources are not compatible with automated
cutting and welding equipment. It is recommended that the remote contactor leads on
these plasma or welding sources not be connected to the machine. An alternate
solution is to purchase a separate remote contactor isolation box.

INTRODUCTION

The K-BUG Stand Alone Linear Weaver is a compact unit designed for use with a torch support and
positioner xture or retrot to a carriage. Ideal for llet or butt joints with at or curved proles. Motion
parameters, including weave speed, weave width, and dwell times are digitally controlled by the remote
pendant control. The pendant also offers center steering and interfaces with the welding power source to
control the weld contact.

FEATURES

• Remote Pendant Control (wired 8 ft.)

• Digital displays for weld speed, dwell times, weave width, and weave speed

• Independent left, right dwell times

• All weaving starts and ends in center position

SETUP

Cables and Connections
K-BUG 6050 is supplied with two cable assemblies -- a power cable and a weaver control cable. It is also
supplied with a cable connector and a spare 3-pin connector with which the customer is to fabricate a
weld contact interface cable with the welding power source or wire feeder.

• The power cable connects at the 3-pin panel connector

• The weaver control cable connects at the 5-pin panel connector

• The weld contact cable connects at the 2-pin panel connector on the side of the pendant control

• Spare 3-pin connector for power cable

Mounting to a Torch Support
The K-BUG 6050 can be mounted onto a torch support to be used with a positioner. In the gure below,
it is shown mounted on a BUG-O FTS-1020 Torch Support. To do this, remove the Swivel Connector
(CON-1020) and Torch Holder (BUG-2708) from the torch support.

Mounting to a Carriage
The K-BUG 6050 can also be retrotted to a carriage. Additional parts, KBUG-5089 and KBUG-5088, to
provide X-Y racking are required to achieve this.

Mounting to a Fixture
The K-BUG 6050 can be permanently mounted to any customer designed xture or work cell.

PARAMETER SETTINGS

Advanced parameters, like Puddle Build-up and Crater Fill are maintained in a hidden menu. The user
must access this Parameters Menu to view and change these settings.

1. While holding down the Start button, plug the machine into an A/C power source of appropriate
voltage, then release the start button.

2. The active parameter (i.e. “n.0”) will be displayed in the Left Dwell display. The current setting for
the active parameter ( i.e. “1.0”) will be displayed in the Right Dwell Speed display.

3. To adjust the parameter setting, turn the Left Dwell knob. Turning clockwise will increase the value;
counterclockwise will decrease the value.

4. Press and release the Start button to scroll through the parameters.

5. When nished setting (all) values, press the Stop button and unplug the machine.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

1. Welding Preparation - Secure the necessary welding supplies

• Welding Power Source and Wire Feeder

• Shielding Gas, with pressure and ow regulators and appropriate ttings

• Torch for gas shielded automated welding

• Basic Weld Prep Tools

2. Welding Process

• Connect the control pendant to an A/C power source of appropriate voltage.

• Mount weaver to torch support or carriage.

• Insert torch and position torch for desired lead/lag angle to match the weld joint and so weld

torch is at desired weld starting point.

• Set desired weave parameters - Weave Width, Weave Speed and Dwell times.

• Verify adequate Shielding Gas Supply, if required.

• Start Welding - Switch Weld Contact switch to AUTO and press Start button.

• Press Stop button when welding is complete. Turn Weld Contact switch to OFF.

• Conrm Welding End.

MAINTENANCE

The weaver unit should be periodically checked and cleaned to maximize service life.

Before use:

Check all screws in the torch clamp. Tighten as needed. Loose fasteners may cause inconsistent
weld quality.

During use:

Monitor motor and welding torch for abnormal noise or overheating.

After each use:

1. Clean control panel to remove dust and other debris.

2. Inspect slide adjustment and torch for weld spatter or other debris. Clean as needed.

3. Inspect power cable and torch cable for cracked, cut or damaged insulation. Replace as needed.

4. Inspect connectors for damaged pins or loose connections. Replace as needed.
