General
PrincipleRobacta Reamer devices are welding torch cleaning devices that are used for automatic
cleaning of MIG/MAG welding torches. These devices can be relied upon to clean the interior and front of gas nozzles on torches of many different shapes, thereby significantly
extending the service life of these wearing parts. With the Robacta Reamer Twin, an even
application of parting agent prevents re-accumulation of dirt.
Device conceptA lifting cylinder for the lifting device, as well as all pneumatic components, form part of the
robust steel housing.
On the outside are the cleaning motor and the clamping device for the gas nozzle on the
welding torch.
The Robacta Reamer Twin is fitted with a wire cutter and parting agent nebuliser as standard.
During the cleaning process, both wire electrodes are shortened to a defined length for the
next welding process.
The wire cutter is an optional extra with the Robacta Reamer Alu Edition and Robacta
Reamer Alu 3000upm.
EN
For professional installation, a stable fitting base is available for all devices.
Application areasDevices from the Robacta Reamer series are intended exclusively for use in robot and oth-
er automated applications.
The devices were designed for use in the automobile and component supply industry,
equipment construction, chemical plant construction and machine and rail vehicle manufacturing.
The Robacta Reamer Twin can be used for processing steel and aluminium materials.

Whenever the cleaning device and connected system components are supplied with
voltage and/or compressed air, a risk of serious injury exists from:
► rotating cleaning cutter / rotating cleaning brush
► lifting device moving up/down
► extending/retracting gas nozzle clamping device
► activated wire cutter
► flying parts (shavings, etc.)
► compressed air/parting agent mixture escaping from the parting-agent injection noz-
zles

Page 78
If work has to be performed on the cleaning device while it is being supplied with voltage
and/or compressed air:
► keep your body, especially your hands, face, hair, any objects and all clothing away
from the cleaning cutter / cleaning brush, lifting device, gas nozzle clamping device,
wire cutter and parting-agent injection nozzles
► wear ear protection
► wear protective goggles with side protection
CAUTION!
A cleaning cutter / cleaning brush that has become very hot through use can cause
severe burns.
Before handling the cleaning cutter / cleaning brush, allow cleaning cutter / cleaning brush
to cool to room temperature (+25°C, +77°F).
Ensuring that the
cleaning device is
depressurised
Attempt to briefly activate the cleaning device without any compressed air supply to check
whether the cleaning device is depressurised. Proceed as follows:
Take protective measures:
1
-The cleaning cutter / cleaning brush, lifting device, gas nozzle clamping device,
wire cutter and parting-agent injection nozzles could start up. Therefore keep your
body, especially your hands, face and hair, any objects and all clothing away from
the parts referred to above
-wear ear protection
-wear protective goggles with side protection
Ensure that the cleaning device has been disconnected from the compressed air sup-

ply
On the Robacta Reamer Alu Edition, Robacta Reamer Alu 3000upm:
Briefly turn the "Cleaning" screw on the cleaning device 90° to the right, then turn it
3
straight back to its original position
-If the cleaning device does not respond to the turning of the screw, the cleaning device
is depressurised
-If the cleaning device responds to the turning of the screw, the cleaning device is still
connected to a compressed air supply.
If this is the case, you must disconnect the cleaning device from the compressed air
supply and check again that the cleaning device is depressurised before starting work
78
On the Robacta Reamer Twin:
Briefly press the valve lever on the cleaning device wire cutter to the side by more than
3
15° using a tool
-If the cleaning device wire cutter does not respond to the movement of the valve lever,
the cleaning device (including the wire cutter) is depressurised
-If the wire cutter responds to the movement of the valve lever, the cleaning device (and
therefore also the wire cutter) is still connected to a compressed air supply.
If this is the case, you must disconnect the cleaning device from the compressed air
supply and check again that the cleaning device is depressurised before starting work
