General
PrincipleThe FDV 80 carriage forms the basis of a mobile longitudinal welding system, consisting
of a straight-line carriage, control unit, torch head and weld tracking.
Device concept
Field of
application
Proper use
The modular design enables the carriage to be equipped for a wide range of
applications.
A exible system consisting of rails and swivelling units, along with a mechanical weld
tracking system, enables welding to take place on parallel workpieces as well as on
workpieces that are bent, diverge or are tapered.
The job is selected directly using the remote control.
The carriage is powered by a mains cable.
The FDV 80 carriage can be used in all situations where a high degree of exibility is
required when executing longitudinal weld seams:
- Welding of longitudinal members
- Shipyards
- Production halls
The FDV 80 carriage must only be used for creating mechanised butt and llet welds in a
horizontal welding position.
Any other use shall be deemed improper and the manufacturer will assume no
responsibility for any damages arising.
Can be used in the following welding processes:
- MIG / MAG process
Proper use also includes:
- Carrying out all maintenance work at the appropriate intervals
- Keeping a service book with the most important information (date, operator, activities
carried out)
- Using the spare parts stipulated by Fronius
- Following all the information in the operating instructions
- Using this document in combination with the operating instructions for the integrated
system components (power source, wire-feed unit, etc.)
NOTE! Any use of the machine other than for its intended purpose or any
unauthorised conversion or modications, shall be deemed improper use.
Any liability or warranty from the manufacturer is hereby invalidated.

Warning notices
on the carriage
A number of safety symbols can be seen on the rating plate axed to the carriage. The
safety symbols must not be removed or painted over.

Welding position and seam tracking
Possible
welding positions
Guidance of the
carriage
Its 4-wheel drive gives the carriage exceptional directional stability and the best possible
traction. A groove in the tread of the wheels on one side of the carriage also ensures
stable handling properties.
The following welding positions are possible:
- Horizontal
The adjustable guide roller on the carriage provide optimum seam tracking.
Depending on the carriage components and the workpiece to be welded, dierent roller
positions are possible:

Preparing the carriage
Checking the
surface of the
workpiece and
the carriage to
ensure they are
clean
Placing the
carriage
Adjusting the
guide roller
Before positioning the carriage, check the following:
- The surface of the workpiece must be clean (no sand, shavings, etc.)
- The bottom plate of the carriage must be clean and free of shavings
- The drive wheels must not be damaged and must be clean
- The guide roller and guide rails must be clean, undamaged and free of
welding spatter
1. Place the carriage on the workpiece.
If guide rollers with grooves are used: Ensure that the size of the guide rail is suitable
for the guide rollers.
2. Place the lateral guide rollers on the workpiece. Correct their position if necessary.
The holders (c) for the guide rollers (a)
(c)
(b)
(b)
have ve slots in which the guide rollers
can be secured:
1. Loosen the xing screw (b) at the de-
sired slot.
2. Position the guide roller (a) and extend
it to the desired length.

10
Option: setting
the lateral guides
(b)
(a)
Some carriage congurations have, in addition to the guide rollers, two lateral guides (a)
that guide the carriage. The guides and rollers can be installed facing towards the centre,
or even swapped over or rotated so that both rollers face outwards.
To adjust the guides, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the two xing screws (b) on both lateral guides.
2. Extend the lateral guides to the desired length.
Carriage strain
relief
3. Tighten the xing screws (b).
To attain optimum wirefeed, observe the following when connecting and routing the
hosepack:
- Do not allow the hosepack to become kinked
- Always lay the hosepack as straight as possible
- Suspend hosepack if necessary. Use balancer and hosepack holder.

Commissioning
Checking the
connections
WARNING! Operating the equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury and
damage. Do not use the functions described here until you have thoroughly
read and understood the following documents:
- These operating instructions
- All the operating instructions for the system components, especially the
safety rules
The following activities and work steps apply to the installed system. All connections
must be established. Before start-up, check the connections of the following system
components:
- Power source
- Cooling circuit
- Gas cylinder
- Wire-feed unit
- Welding torch with hosepack
- Workpiece
Precise information on the assembly and connection of the system components can be
found in the relevant system component operating instructions.

parameters
Selecting and
loading the
welding program
IMPORTANT! There are no xed rules for the sequence in which the system
components are switched on. They can be switched on in any order.
Switch the main switch on the following system components to the
"ON - 1" position:
- Carriage control unit
- Power source
- Wire-feed unit (if power is not supplied from the power source)
Determine the following settings for the welding process:
- Traversing speed
- Path
- Select the correct welding program
Further information and a detailed description of the carriage parameters can be found in
the operating instructions for the FRC-40 remote control.
IMPORTANT! For each workpiece a corresponding welding program must be created.
This contains a list of welding parameters that is saved under a specic program number
(job number). These programs can be reloaded at any time, and corrected as required.
The programs are managed from the FRC 40 remote control.
Load the relevant welding program.
More detailed information on "Managing welding programs" can be found in the
operating instructions for the FRC 40 remote control.
12
Carrying out a
test run
Perform a test run to check that all system components work together correctly. This is
done without an arc and thus allows you to check all movements during the process.
1. Set the "Welding ON / OFF" selector
switch (1) to the "OFF" position.
2. Press the "START" button (2).
The automatic program sequence
starts.
IMPORTANT! Never leave the
machine unattended, particularly when
it is moving automatically.
Starting the
welding process
(2)
(1)
NOTE! After you have pressed the "START" button, the carriage only starts to
move once the predetermined start-up delay time has elapsed.
3. Carry out a visual check during the process.
4. If necessary, make the relevant corrections (welding torch position, direction of travel
of carriage, traversing speed, etc.).
5. After the test, move the carriage back to its original position.
Start the welding process:
1. Set the "Welding ON / OFF" selector switch (1) to the "ON" position.
2. Press the "START" button (2). The automatic program sequence starts.

Troubleshooting
General
Basic
requirements for
the system to
work
Carriage
In the event of faults, note that the functioning of the entire system depends on many
additional components (power source, wire-feed unit, etc.) that are also potential sources
of problems.
- Connections established between separate system components
- System components are supplied with electricity and the mains voltage is as
specied (see rating plate)
Drive wheels slip during travel
Cause:Wheels dirty (with oil)
Remedy:Clean the wheels
Cause:Carriage overloaded (e.g. the torch cables pull the carriage up)
Remedy:Relieve cable strain (suspend)
Play on the torch
Cause:Play on the handles
Remedy:Tighten handles
Control error
messages
Cause:Play on the guide rails
Remedy:Tighten the pressure screws
