6.08 870236 Robotic Interface Kits
870236-001 ABB Robotic Interface Kit
This kit includes the components required to allow the HMC-410 to plug into the 24 position amphenol connector
provided on the ABB robots.
Feature Benefit
1. 24 Position Amphenol A. Easy to install welding interface for Thermal Arc welder to ABB Robot
2. Analog Voltage Control A. Control welding voltage (or pulse frequency) remotely from robot
controller.
B. Integrate robot control of welding voltage for none, some, or all of the
welding segments for maximum flexibility.
3. Analog Wire Feed Speed Control A. Control wire feed speed remotely from robot controller.
B. Integrate robot control of wire feed speed for cold inching or welding
for none, some, or all of the welding segments for maximum flexibility.
4. Robot Controlled Gas A. Allows robot control of shielding gas
5. Robot Controlled Wire Forward A. Allows robot control of wire in the forward direction
6. Robot Controlled Wire Reverse A. Allows robot control of wire in the reverse direction
7. Robot Controlled Contactor A. Allows robot control of the welder output terminals
8. Welder Ready Signal A. Communicates status of welder to robot
9. Welder Inhibit Signal A. Communicates selection of a test (cold run) mode to the robot
10. Weave Inhibit Signal A. Communicates selection of a weave inhibit mode to the robot
11. Inch Speed Signal A. Communicates selection of a local inch command to the robot
12 Arc Established Signal A. Communicates selection of an Arc Established condition to the robot
13. Wire Stuck Signal A. Communicates the occurrence of a wire stuck to the work condition
to the robot
14. Water/Gas Sensor Signal A. Communicates the occurrence of a lack of water or shielding gas
condition to the robot
