SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
ELECTRIC ARC WELDING EQUIPMENT
CAUTION : READ BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION,
OPERATION ORMAINTENANCE OF THIS EQUIPMENT
1-1 INTRODUCTION
This equipment is intended for ultimate application by commercial/industrial users and for
operation by persons trained and experienced
in the use and maintenance of welding equipment. Operation should not be undertaken without adequate training in the use of such equipment. Training is available from many public
and private schools or similar facilities.
Safe practices in the installation, operation and
maintenance of this equipment requires proper
training in the art, a careful study of the information provided with the equipment, and the use
of common sense. Rules for safe use are generally provided by suppliers of welding power
sources, compressed gas suppliers, and electrode suppliers. Careful compliance with these
rules will promote safe use of this equipment.
The following Safety Rules cover some of the
more generally found situations. READ THEM
CAREFULLY. In case of any doubt, obtain qualied help before proceeding.
1-2 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
A. Burn Prevention
ELECTRIC ARC WELDING PRODUCES HIGH
INTENSITY HEAT AND ULTRAVIOLET RADIANT ENERGY WHICH MAY CAUSE SERIOUS
AND PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE AND WHICH
MAY DAMAGE ANY EXPOSED SKIN AREAS.
Wear helmet with safety goggles or glasses with
side shields underneath, appropriate lter lenses
or plates (protected by clear cover glass). This
is a must for welding or cutting (and chipping) to
protect the eyes from radiant energy and ying
metal. Replace cover glass when broken, pitted,
or spattered.
Medical rst aid and eye treatment. First aid
facilities and a qualied rst aid person should
be available for each shift unless medical facilities are close by for immediate treatment of ash
burns of the eyes and skin burns.
Wear protective clothing - leather (or asbestos)
gauntlet gloves, hat, and high safety-toe shoes.
Button shirt collar and pocket aps, and wear
cufess trousers to avoid entry of sparks and
slag.
Avoid oily or greasy clothing. A spark may ignite
them.
Flammable hair preparations should not be used
by persons intending to weld or cut.
Hot metal such as electrode stubs and work
pieces should never be handled without gloves.
Ear plugs should be worn when working on
overhead or in a conned space. A hard hat
should be worn when others work overhead.
B. Toxic Fume Prevention
WARNING: The use of this product may result
in exposure to chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
Adequate ventilation. Severe discomfort, illness
or death can result from fumes, vapors, heat, or
oxygen enrichment or depletion that welding (or
cutting) may produce. Prevent them with adequate
ventilation. NEVER ventilate with oxygen.
Lead-, cadmium-, zinc-, mercury-, beryllium-bearing
and similar materials, when welded or cut, may produce harmful concentrations of toxic fumes. Adequate local exhaust ventilation must be used, or
each person in the area, as well as the operator,
must wear an air-supplied respirator. For beryllium,
both must be used.
Metals coated with or containing materials that emit
toxic fumes should not be heated unless coating
is removed form the work surface, the area is well
ventilated, or the operator wears an air-supplied
respirator.
Work in a conned space only while it is being
ventilated and, if necessary, while wearing an airsupplied respirator.
Gas leaks in a conned space should be avoided.
Leaked gas in large quantities can change oxygen
concentration dangerously. Do not bring gas cylinders into a conned space.
Leaving conned space, shut OFF gas supply at
source to prevent possible accumulation of gases in
the space if downstream valves have been accidentally opened or left open. Check to be sure that the
space is safe before reentering it.
Vapors from chlorinated solvents can be decomposed by the heat of the arc (or ame) to form
PHOSGENE, a highly toxic gas, and other lung
and eye irritating products. The ultraviolet (radiant)
energy of the arc can also decompose trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene vapors to form phosgene. DO NOT WELD or cut where solvent vapors
can be drawn into the welding or cutting atmosphere or where the radiant energy can penetrate
to atmospheres containing even minute amounts of
trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene.
C. Fire and Explosion Prevention
Causes of re and explosion are: combustibles
reached by the arc, ame, ying sparks, hot slag, or
heated material, misuse of compressed gases and
cylinders, and short circuits.
BE AWARE THAT ying sparks or falling slag can
pass through cracks, along pipes, through windows
or doors, and through wall or oor openings, out
of sight of the goggled operator. Sparks can y
many feet.
To prevent res and explosion:
Keep equipment clean and operable, free of oil,
grease, and (in electrical parts) of metallic particles
that can cause short circuits.
If combustibles are in area, do NOT weld or cut.
Move the work if practicable, to an area free of
combustibles. Avoid paint spray rooms, dip tanks,
storage areas, ventilators. If the work cannot be
moved, move combustibles at least 35 feet away,
out of reach of sparks and heat; or protect
against ignition with suitable and snug-tting,
re-resistant covers or shields.
Walls touching combustibles on opposite sides
should not be welded on (or cut). Walls, ceilings, and oor near work should be protected by
heat-resistant covers or shields.
Fire watcher must be standing by with suitable
re extinguishing equipment during and for
some time after welding or cutting if:
1. Appreciable combustibles (including building
construction) are within 35 feet.
2. Appreciable combustibles are further than 35
feet, but can be ignited by sparks.
3. Openings (concealed or visible) in oors or
walls within 35 feet may expose combustibles
to sparks.
4. Combustibles adjacent to walls, ceilings,
roofs, or metal partitions can be ignited by radiant or conducted heat.
Hot work permit should be obtained before
operation to ensure supervisor’s approval that
adequate precautions have been taken.
After work is done, check that area is free of
sparks, glowing embers, and ames.
An empty container that held combustibles, or
that can produce ammable or toxic vapors
when heated, must never be welded on or
cut, unless container has rst been cleaned in
accordance with industry standards.
This includes: a thorough steam or caustic
cleaning (or a solvent of water washing,
depending on the combustible’s solubility), followed by purging and inerting with nitrogen or
carbon dioxide, and using protective equipment.
Water-lling just below working level may substitute for inerting.
A container with unknown contents should be
cleaned (see paragraph above). Do NOT
depend on sense of smell or sight to determine
if it is safe to weld or cut.
Hollow castings or containers must be vented
before welding or cutting. They can explode.
Explosive atmospheres. NEVER weld or cut
where the air may contain ammable dust, gas,
or liquid vapors (such as gasoline).
D. Compressed Gas Equipment
The safe handling of compressed gas equipment is detailed in numerous industry publications. The following general rules cover many
of the most common situations.
1. Pressure Regulators
Regulator relief valve is designed to protect
only the regulator from overpressure; it is not
intended to protect any downstream equipment.
Provide such protection with one or more relief
devices.
Never connect a regulator to a cylinder containing gas other than that for which the regulator
i
Page 3
was designed.
Remove faulty regulator from service immediately for repair (rst close cylinder valve). The
following symptoms indicate a faulty regulator:
Leaks - if gas leaks externally.
Excessive Creep - if delivery pressure continues
to rise with downstream valve closed.
Faulty Gauge - if gauge pointer does not move
off stop pin when pressurized, nor returns to
stop pin after pressure release.
Repair. Do NOT attempt repair. Send faulty
regulators for repair to manufacturer’s designated repair center, where special techniques
and tools are used by trained personnel.
2. Cylinders
Cylinders must be handled carefully to prevent
leaks and damage to their walls, valves, or
safety devices:
Avoid electrical circuit contact with cylinders
including third rails, electrical wires, or welding
circuits. They can produced short circuit arcs
that may lead to a serious accident. (See 1-3C)
ICC or DOT marking must be on each cylinder.
It is an assurance of safety when the cylinder is
properly handled.
Identifying gas content. Use only cylinders with
name of gas marked on them; do not rely on
color to identify gas content. Notify supplier
if unmarked. NEVER DEFACE or alter name,
number, or other markings on a cylinder. It is
illegal and hazardous.
Empties: Keep valves closed, replace caps
securely; mark MT; keep them separate from
FULLS, and return promptly.
Prohibited use. Never use a cylinder or its contents for other than its intended use, NEVER as
a support or roller.
Locate or secure cylinders so they cannot be
knocked over.
Passageways and work areas. Keep cylinders
clear of areas where they may be stuck.
Transporting cylinders. With a crane, use a
secure support such as a platform or cradle. Do
NOT lift cylinders off the ground by their valves
or caps, or by chains, slings, or magnets.
Do NOT expose cylinders to excessive heat,
sparks, slag, and ame, etc. that may cause
rupture. Do not allow contents to exceed 55
degrees C (130 degrees F.) Cool with water
spray where such exposure exists.
Protect cylinders, particularly valves from
bumps, falls, falling objects, and weather.
Replace caps securely when moving cylinders.
Stuck valve. Do NOT use a hammer or wrench
to open a cylinder valve that cannot be opened
by hand. Notify your supplier.
Mixing gases. NEVER try to mix any gases in
a cylinder.
NEVER rell any cylinder.
Cylinder ttings should never be modied or
exchanged.
3. Hose
Prohibited use. Never use hose other than that
designed for the specied gas. A general hose
identication rule is: red for fuel gas, green for
oxygen, and black for inert gases.
Use ferrules or clamps designed for the hose (not
ordinary wire or other substitute) as a binding to
connect hoses to ttings.
No copper tubing splices. Use only standard brass
ttings to splice hose.
Avoid long runs to prevent kinks and abuse. Suspend hose off ground to keep it from being run over,
stepped on, or otherwise damaged.
Coil excess hose to prevent kinks and tangles.
Protect hose from damage by sharp edges, and by
sparks, slag, and open ame.
Examine hose regularly for leaks, wear, and loose
connections. Immerse pressured hose in water;
bubbles indicate leaks
Repair leaky or worn hose by cutting area out and
splicing. Do NOT use tape.
4. Proper Connections
Clean cylinder valve outlet of impurities that
may clog orices and damage seats before connecting regulator. Except for hydrogen, crack valve
momentarily, pointing outlet away from people and
sources of ignition. Wipe with a clean, lintless
cloth.
Match regulator to cylinder. Before connecting,
check that the regulator label and cylinder marking
agree, and that the regulator inlet and cylinder
outlet match. NEVER Connect a regulator
designed for a particular gas or gases to a cylinder
containing any other gas.
Tighten connections. When assembling threaded
connections, clean and smooth seats where necessary. Tighten. If connection leaks, disassemble,
clean, and retighten, using properly tting wrench.
Adapters. Use a CGA adapter (available from your
supplier) between cylinder and regulator, if one is
required. Use two wrenches to tighten adapter
marked RIGHT and LEFT HAND threads.
Regulator outlet (or hose) connections may be
identied by right hand threads for oxygen and left
hand threads (with grooved hex on nut or shank)
for fuel gas.
5. Pressurizing Steps:
Drain regulator of residual gas through suitable vent
before opening cylinder (or manifold valve) by turning adjusting screw in (clockwise). Draining prevents excessive compression heat at high pressure
seat by allowing seat to open on pressurization.
Leave adjusting screw engaged slightly on singlestage regulators.
Stand to side of regulator while opening cylinder
valve.
Open cylinder valve slowly so that regulator pressure increases slowly. When gauge is pressurized
(gauge reaches regulator maximum) leave cylinder
valve in following position: for oxygen and inert
gases, open fully to seal stem against possible
leak; for fuel gas, open to less than one turn to
permit quick emergency shut-off.
Use pressure charts (available from your supplier)
for safe and efcient recommended pressure settings on regulators.
Check for leaks on rst pressurization and regularly
thereafter. Brush with soap solution. Bubbles indicate leaks. Clean off soapy water after test; dried
soap is combustible.
E. User Responsibilities
Follow all Safety Rules.
Remove leaky or defective equipment from service immediately for repair. Read and follow
user manual instructions.
F. Leaving Equipment Unattended
Close gas supply at source and drain gas.
G. Rope Staging-Support
Rope staging-support should not be used for
welding or cutting operation; rope may burn.
1-3 ARC WELDING
Comply with precautions in 1-1, 1-2, and this
section. Arc Welding, properly done, is a safe
process, but a careless operator invites trouble.
The equipment carries high currents at signicant voltages. The arc is very bright and hot.
Sparks y, fumes rise, ultraviolet and infrared
energy radiates, weldments are hot, and compressed gases may be used. The wise operator
avoids unnecessary risks and protects himself
and others from accidents.
A. Burn Protection
Comply with precautions in 1-2.
The welding arc is intense and visibly bright.
Its radiation can damage eyes, penetrate lightweight clothing, reect from light-colored surfaces, and burn the skin and eyes. Skin
burns resemble acute sunburn; those from gasshielded arcs are more severe and painful.
DON’T GET BURNED; COMPLY WITH PRECAUTIONS.
1. Protective Clothing
Wear long-sleeve clothing in addition to gloves,
hat, and shoes. As necessary, use additional
protective clothing such as leather jacket or
sleeves, ameproof apron, and re-resistant
leggings. Avoid outer garments of untreated
cotton.
Bare skin protection. Wear dark, substantial
clothing. Button collar to protect chest and
neck, and button pockets to prevent entry of
sparks.
2. Eye and Head Protection
Protect eyes from exposure to arc. Eyes may
be damaged by radiant energy when exposed
to the electric arc, even when not looking in the
direction of the arc. Never look at an electric arc
without protection.
Welding helmet or shield containing a lter plate
shade no. 12 or denser must be used when
welding. Place over face before striking arc.
Protect lter plate with a clear cover plate.
Cracked or broken helmet or shield should NOT
be worn; radiation can be passed through to
cause burns.
Cracked, broken, or loose lter plates must be
replaced IMMEDIATELY. Replace clear cover
plate when broken, pitted, or spattered.
Flash goggles with side shields MUST be worn
under the helmet to give some protection to the
eyes should the helmet not be lowered over the
face before an arc is struck. Looking at an arc
momentarily with unprotected eyes (particularly
a high intensity gas-shielded arc) can cause a
retinal burn that may leave a permanent dark
area in the eld of vision.
3. Protection of Nearby Personnel
Enclose the welding area. For production welding, a separate room or enclosed bay is best.
In open areas, surround the operation with low-
ii
Page 4
reective, noncombustible screens or panels.
Allow for free air circulation, particularly at oor
level.
Viewing the weld. Provide face shields for all
persons who will be looking directly at the weld.
Others working in area. See that all persons are
wearing ash goggles.
Before starting to weld, make sure that screen
aps or bay doors are closed.
B. Toxic Fume Prevention
Comply with precautions in 1-2B.
Generator engine exhaust must be vented to the
outside air. Carbon monoxide can kill.
C. Fire and Explosion Prevention
Comply with precautions in 1-2C.
Equipment’s rated capacity. Do not overload arc
welding equipment. It may overheat cables and
cause a re.
Loose cable connections may overheat or ash
and cause are.
Never strike an arc on a cylinder or other pressure vessel. It creates a brittle area that can
cause a violent rupture or lead to such a rupture
later under rough handling.
D. Compressed Gas Equipment
Comply with precautions in 1-2D.
E. Shock Prevention
Exposed electrically hot conductors or other
bare metal in the welding circuit, or in
ungrounded, electrically-HOT
equipment can fatally shock a person whose
body becomes a conductor. DO NOT STAND,
SIT, LIE, LEAN ON, OR TOUCH a wet surface
when welding without suitable protection.
To protect against shock:
Keep body and clothing dry. Never work in
damp area without adequate insulation against
electrical shock. Stay on a dry duckboard, or
rubber mat when dampness or sweat cannot be
avoided. Sweat, sea water, or moisture between
body and an electrically HOT part - or grounded
metal - reduces the body surface electrical resistance, enabling dangerous and possibly lethal
currents to ow through the body.
1. Grounding the Equipment
When installing, connect the frames of each
unit such as welding power source, control,
work table, and water circulator to the building
ground. Conductors must be adequate to carry
ground currents safely. Equipment made electrically HOT by stray currents may shock, possibly
fatally. Do NOT GROUND to electrical conduit,
or to a pipe carrying ANY gas or a ammable
liquid such as oil or fuel.
Three-phase connection. Check phase requirement of equipment before installing. If only
three-phase power is available, connect singlephase equipment to only two wires of the threephase line. Do NOT connect the equipment
ground lead to the third (live) wire, or the equipment will become electrically HOT - a dangerous
condition that can shock, possibly fatally.
Before welding, check ground for continuity. Be
sure conductors are touching bare metal of
equipment frames at connections.
If a line cord with a ground lead is provided with
the equipment for connection to a switch box,
connect the ground lead to the grounded switch
box. If a three-prong plug is added for connection
to a grounded mating receptacle, the ground lead
must be connected to the ground prong only. If the
line cord comes with a three-prong plug, connect
to a grounded mating receptacle. Never remove
the ground prong from a plug, or use a plug with a
broken ground prong.
2. Connectors
Fully insulated lock-type connectors should be used
to join welding cable lengths.
3. Cables
Frequently inspect cables for wear, cracks, and
damage. IMMEDIATELY REPLACE those with
excessively worn or damaged insulation to avoid
possibly lethal shock from bared cable. Cables with
damaged areas may be taped to give resistance
equivalent to original cable.
Keep cable dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal and sparks.
4. Terminals and Other Exposed Parts
Terminals and other exposed parts of electrical
units should have insulating covers secured before
operation.
5. Electrode Wire
Electrode wire becomes electrically HOT when the
power switch of gas metal-arc welding equipment
is ON and welding gun trigger is pressed. Keep
hands and body clear of wire and other HOT parts.
6. Safety Devices
Safety devices such as interlocks and circuit breakers should not be disconnected or shunted out.
Before installation, inspection, or service of equipment, shut OFF all power, and remove line fuses
(or lock or red-tag switches) to prevent accidental
turning ON of power. Disconnect all cables from
welding power source, and pull all 115 volts linecord plugs.
Do not open power circuit or change polarity while
welding. If, in an emergency, it must be disconnected, guard against shock burns or ash from
switch arcing.
Leaving equipment unattended. Always shut OFF,
and disconnect all power to equipment.
Power disconnect switch must be available near the
welding power source.

torch leAd connectionS
Power Cable
The torch tting is screwed into the back of the torch block using a conductive
sealant. RoboKing torches use a #4 AWG power cable which is secured to
the torch in the same manner. The power cable tting on the other end
connects to the power block inside the Cobramatic feeder.
ALL ROBOKING TORCHES MUST BE WATER COOLED
Conduit
The RoboKing comes standard with a teon lined conduit. The torch end
is secured with a set screw accessable through a hole in the handle under
RoboKing Owner's Manual - Page 1
Page 9
the rear Handle nut. Spiral steel conduits are available when using hard
and cored wires.
Gas Hose
The gas hose is pushed on to the inlet tube of the front body. The gas inlet
tube is located in the top center of the torch when viewed from the rear.
Water Hose
The water hose is pushed on to the inlet tube of the front body. The Water
tube is located in the lower left of the torch when viewed from the rear.
Electric Cable
A seven conductor control cable is used on RoboKing Torch, although only
2 conductors are used. The torch end of the control cable is secured to the
back of the torch with a cable clamp and the wires are connected to the motor
through a connector. The cabinet end has a 7 pin “W” clocked Amphenol
connector. See schematic for wiring information.
Section B operAtion
GenerAl deScription
The RoboKing is designed to be used in automation processes and is unique
in its design from other torches made by MK Products. The RoboKing Torch
maintains a constant, steady, uniform feed speed, regardless of curved or
looped wire conduit. The constant push exerted by the slave motor in the
cabinet, combined with the pull of the torch motor, causes the wire to literally
oat friction-free through the wire conduit. The 24 volt DC torch motor is
controlled by the speed control in the Cobramatic II cabinet.
There is no trigger in the torch to start the arc, this is controlled by means
of an outboard control.
motor GeAr Box
A 19.5:1 24VDC motor gear box is used on this version of the RoboKing
Torch. The motor gear box attaches to the angle head with three (3) Allen
screws. The torch serial number is stamped on the angle head. There are no
spare parts for the motor gear box; it must be replaced as a whole unit.
drive And idler rollS
General
The RoboKing comes setup from the factory with the drive roll & idler
roll requested at the time of order. Other sizes of grooved drive rolls for
aluminum wire are also available (see Optional Kits). Use Knurled drive
rolls for all steel applications. One set will feed all wire diameters from .030
(0.8mm) to 1/6"(1.6mm)
Drive roll tension is accomplished by means of a pressure-adjusting screw
located on the left hand side of the torch. Proper tension is achieved when
wire does not slip when a small amount of pressure is added to the wire
as it exits the tip.
RoboKing Owner's Manual - Page 2
Page 10
----------- IMPORTANT ----------NOTE:
Over-tightening of the drive rolls will cause excessive knurling and/or deformation
of the wire. When the complete system is set-up properly, wire will feed out of the
end of the torch and fall on the ground forming a uniform circle. If it forms a spiral
or spring then there is too much tension in the system. Please refer to the Cabinet
Owners Manual for adjustment to the tension setting detailed there.
THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF POOR WIRE FEED PERFORMANCE
---------------------------------------------
Drive Roll Installation/Removal
Please Note : Drive rolls have a LEFT HAND thread.
Remove the drive roll with small nose pliers by turning the drive roll clockwise.
Install new drive roll on motor shaft using left hand thread. Drive roll will
self-tighten when feeding wire.
Idler Roll Installation and Removal
1. Using a slot type screwdriver, loosen idler screw, taking care not to lose
lock washer under idler roll.
2. Insert new idler roll and lock washer onto screw, insuring that idler groove
is toward top and lock washer is beneath.
3. Tighten.

drive rollS KitS
Insulated Drive Roll Kits are used to prevent preheating of the wire which
may soften it and clog the liner. This picking up of current at the drive rolls
rather than at the contact tip is usually not a problem usless using too large
of a contact tip or excessively oxidized aluminum wire.

Maintenance of the torch will normally consist of a general cleaning of
the wire guide system, including tubes, drive rolls, and conduits at regular
intervals.
Remove spatter build-up from inside of nozzles with a hardwood stick.
The only parts on the RoboKing system that are subject to normal wear are
the conduit, contact tips, gas cups, front body liners, wire guides, drive and
idler rolls. A supply of these parts should be maintained on hand.
If repairs do become necessary, any part can easily be replaced by a
qualied shop maintenance personnel.
Your RoboKing System is designed to provide years of reliable service.
Normal wear and component failure may require occasional service.
The number of units in operation and the importance of minimal “down time”
will determine to what extent spare parts should be stocked on hand. See
the "Recommended spare parts list" for the most commonly replaced parts.

Section e trouBleShootinG
Regardless of which torch or feeder used, all MK Products’ push-pull guns
operate on the same principle. The 115 (42) VAC slave motor in the feeder
runs at a fast, constant speed, but has very low torque. It is always trying
to feed more wire than the torch motor wants, and when the motor gets all
it wants, it slows the slave motor, preventing a bird’s nest. Because of the
low torque produced by the slave motor, a brake system is used to prevent
wire overrun rather than tension. The drag adjustment in the spindle is
used simply to keep the wire slightly taut, so it will not pull off the spool while
feeding wire.
The high torque 24 VDC torch motor is controlled by a solid state speed
control. The torch motor is connected to the cabinet/control box via a control

cable and Amphenol. If this cable becomes damaged, a variety of symptoms
can occur, depending on which wire(s) break. To test, check each wire for
continuity and shorts.
teStinG the torch
See "W" clocked torch wiring diagram for infomation about pin-outs and locations.
Motor Check
Remove the torch connector from the cabinet.
Using the torch Amphenol connector, check the resistance across pins “A”
and “B” (motor leads). The resistance across the motor should be between
5-10 ohms.
If an open circuit or short exist, check the motor leads and motor
independently.
