Obligations of the
operator
Obligations of
personnel
Specific hazards
The operator must only allow persons to work with the device who:
-are familiar with the fundamental instructions regarding safety at work and accident
prevention and have been instructed in how to use the device
-have read and understood these operating instructions, especially the section "safety
rules", and have confirmed as much with their signatures
-are trained to produce the required results.
Checks must be carried out at regular intervals to ensure that operators are working in a
safety-conscious manner.
Before using the device, all persons instructed to do so undertake:
-to observe the basic instructions regarding safety at work and accident prevention
-to read these operating instructions, especially the "Safety rules" section and sign to
confirm that they have understood them and will follow them.
Before leaving the workplace, ensure that people or property cannot come to any harm in
your absence.
Stay out of the working area of the robot.
The device must be incorporated into a higher-level safety system within a secured area.
If this area has to be accessed when setup and maintenance work is carried out, make sure
that
-the entire system is switched off for the duration of the work in this area
-and that it is prevented from starting up accidentally, e.g. as the result of a control fault.
If untrained operators have access to the device, its compressed air supply must be disconnected for the duration of work in accordance with "Performance Level d" of the ISO
13849-1 standard.
In addition to these operating instructions, the safety rules issued by the robot manufacturer must also be observed.
Keep your body, especially your hands, face, hair, clothing and all tools away from moving
parts, such as:
Do not touch cleaning cutter / cleaning brush immediately after use - risk of burns. Observe
the special safety rules in the operating instructions for handling the cleaning cutter / cleaning brush.
Protect hands, face and eyes against flying parts (shavings, etc.) and compressed air/parting agent mixture escaping from the parting-agent injection nozzles.
10
Covers may only be opened/removed for the duration of any maintenance, installation or
repair work.
Protecting yourself and others
EMC Device Classifications
During operation
-Ensure that all covers are closed and fitted properly
-Keep all covers closed
When welding, you expose yourself to numerous dangers. In addition to these operating
instructions, the safety rules of the manufacturer of the entire welding system must also be
observed.
Keep all persons, especially children, out of the working area while any devices are in operation or welding is in progress. If, however, there are people in the vicinity,
-make them aware of all the dangers and health risks (crushing from mechanicallypowered parts, injury from cleaning cutter / cleaning brush, flying shavings and similar
matter, escaping compressed air/parting agent mixture, flying sparks, dazzling by arc,
inhaling of harmful welding fumes, noise, possible danger from mains or welding current, etc),
-provide suitable protective equipment or
-erect suitable safety screens/curtains.
Devices in emission class A:
-Are only designed for use in industrial settings
-Can cause line-bound and radiated interference in other areas
EN
Devices in emission class B:
-Satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas. This is also true for
residential areas in which the energy is supplied from the public low-voltage mains.
EMC device classification as per the rating plate or technical data.
EMC measuresIn certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for emis-
sions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g. when there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the device is installed is close to
either radio or television receivers).
If this is the case, then the operator is obliged to take appropriate action to rectify the situation.
Check for possible problems, and check and evaluate neighbouring devices' resistance to
interference according to national and international requirements:
-Safety devices
-Power, signal and data transfer lines
-IT and telecommunications devices
-Measuring and calibrating devices
Supporting measures for avoidance of EMC problems:
al measures are necessary (e.g. use a suitable line filter).
2.Control lines
-must be kept as short as possible
-must run close together (to avoid EMF problems)
-must be kept well apart from other leads
3.Equipotential bonding
4.Shield, if necessary
-Shield off other nearby devices
-Shield off entire welding installation
11
EMF measuresElectromagnetic fields may pose as yet unknown risks to health:
-effects on the health of others in the vicinity, e.g. wearers of pacemakers and hearing
aids
-wearers of pacemakers must seek advice from their doctor before approaching the device or any welding that is in progress
-for safety reasons, keep distances between the welding cables and the welder's head/
torso as large as possible
-do not carry welding cables and hosepacks over the shoulders or wind them around
any part of the body
Safety measures
at the installation
location and during transport
Safety measures
in normal operation
A device toppling over could easily kill someone. Place the device horizontally on a level,
firm and solid surface and anchor it securely to prevent it toppling over.
Special regulations apply in rooms at risk of fire or explosion
-Observe relevant national and international regulations.
Use internal directives and checks to ensure that the workplace environment is always
clean and clearly laid out.
When transporting the device, observe the relevant national and local guidelines and accident prevention regulations. This applies especially to guidelines regarding the risks arising during transport.
After transporting the device, it must be visually inspected for damage before commissioning. Any damage must be repaired by trained service technicians before commissioning
the device.
Only operate the device if all safety devices are fully functional. If the safety devices are
not fully functional, there is a risk of
-injury or death to the operator or a third party,
-damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operator,
-inefficient operation of the device.
Any safety devices that are not functioning properly must be repaired before switching on
the device.
12
Never bypass or disable safety devices.
Before switching on the device, ensure that no one is likely to be endangered.
Check the device at least once a week for obvious damage and proper functioning of safety
devices.
-Only use suitable original parting agent from the manufacturer.
-Observe the information on the parting agent safety data sheet when handling parting
agent. The parting agent safety data sheet may be obtained from your service centre
or downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
-Do not mix the manufacturer's parting agent with other parting agents.
-If damage results from using a different parting agent, the manufacturer accepts no
liability. In addition, no warranty claims will be entertained.
-Used parting agent must be disposed of properly in accordance with the relevant national and international regulations.

General
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.
The Robacta Reamer Alu Edition and the Robacta Reamer Alu 3000upm are intended exclusively for aluminium applications.
