egardless of which torch or feeder used, all MK Products’ push-pull guns
erate on the same principle. The slave motor in the feeder runs at a fast,
constant speed, but has very low torque. It is always trying to
han the torch motor wants, and when the motor gets all it wants, it slows the
slave motor, preventin
a bird’s nest. Because of the low torque produced by
e slave motor, a brake system is used to prevent wire overrun rather than
ension. The drag adjustment in the feeder is used simply to keep the wire
slightly taut, so it will not pull off the spool while feeding wire.
he high torque 24VDC torch motor is controlled by a solid state speed
control located in the feeder, and a pot located in the torch. The torch motor,
otentiometer, and micro switch are connected to the cabinet/control box via
a control cable and Amphenol connector. If this cable becomes damaged, a
variet
of symptoms can occur, depending on which wire(s) break. To test,
check each wire for continuity and shorts.
emember, the micro switch in the torch activates both the slave motor and
orch motor circuits in the cabinet. Therefore, if the slave motor and brake
solenoid operate, but the torch does not, look more toward the torch motor’s
24V circuits, speed control, control cable, or the torch motor. If nothin
erates, look more toward the slave motor’s input, micro switch leads, or
micro switch.
