CONNECTING PROCEDURE
1. Attach the robot adapter to the end of the ro-
bot.
2. Lay out the applicator powder hose, electrode
rinsing air hose, cascade rinsing air hose, and
shaping air hose in such a way that neither
kinks or twist can likely form
3. Connect the shaping air (SA) to the proper
push-in fitting on the robot plate. Clean pneu-
matic tubing of any debris.
4. Connect the electrode rinsing air (EA) to the
robot plate. Clean pneumatic tubes of any de-
bris.
5. Connect the cascade rinsing air (CA) to the
robot plate.
6. Connect the ground cable to “GND” fitting on
the robot plate. Do Not Over Tighten
7. Connect the other end of the ground cable to
a good known earth ground source after in-
stalling the cable thru the robot arm.
8. Connect the low voltage cable to the robot
plate Align marks and tighten set screw. (See
Picture)
9. Install tubing and cables thru the robot arm.
Attach robot plate to robot adapter with (4)
77566-24C screws. (3/16 hex key)
10. Connect the low voltage cable to the control
unit. (see the current MicroPak or Evolver
MicroPak controller service manuals for wire
termination.)
Suggested switch setting:
SW-3 (1&2 On)
SW-7 (1 On) ( 5&6 Off)
11. Powder supply can either be delivered
through the dilute phase pump (Venturi) or
dense phase pump.
A. Dilute phase powder supply hose is
connected to the applicator. (Items 51,
52, 53,and 54 are ordered separately for
a Venturi Feed application.) “Table A—
Upper Powder Tube” in the “Parts Identi
fication” section shows optional parts
required for the tube connection. Con
nect dilute phase powder supply hose
(only if available.)
B. Dense phase powder supply hose is
connected to the multi-color integrator
(MCI). The MCI will use dilution air to
dilute the dense phase powder. Dilution
air requirements are powder dependent.
Connect the MCI to the open threaded
connection next to the pneumatic tube
connections.
The multi-color integrator will also have
the required powder supply lines and
one more pneumatic link used for a
pinch valve. Refer to “Function and
Operation” information from MCI
manufacturer’s documentation.
12. Align the 2 pins on the applicator rear plate
with the mating holes of the robot plate.
Spin the mounting ring to tighten applicator
to the robot plate.
