1-5 EMF Information

Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized electric and magnetic fields (EMF). The current from arc welding (and allied processes including spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, and induction heating operations) creates an EMF field around the welding circuit. EMF fields may interfere with some medical implants, e.g. Pacemakers. Protective measures for persons wearing medical implants have to be taken. For example, restrict access for passersby or conduct individual risk assessment for welders. All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or
using a cable cover. 2. Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange
cables to one side and away from the operator.

3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body. 4. Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the
welding circuit as possible. 5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as
possible. 6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source. 7. Do not weld whilst carrying the welding power source wire
feeder.
About Implanted Medical Devices: Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations. If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recommended.

2-5 Informations relatives aux CEM

Le courant électrique qui traverse tout conducteur génère des champs électromagnétiques (CEM) à certains endroits. Le courant issu d’un soudage à l’arc (et de procédés connexes, y compris le soudage par points, le gougeage, le découpage plasma et les opérations de chauffage par induction) crée un champ électromagnétique (CEM) autour du circuit de soudage. Les champs électromagnétiques produits peuvent causer interférence à certains implants médicaux, p. ex. les stimulateurs cardiaques. Des mesures de protection pour les porteurs d’implants médicaux doivent être prises: par exemple, des restrictions d’accès pour les passants ou une évaluation individuelle des risques pour les soudeurs. Tous les soudeurs doivent appliquer les procédures suivantes pour minimiser l’exposition aux CEM provenant du circuit de soudage:
1. Rassembler les câbles en les torsadant ou en les attachant avec du ruban adhésif ou avec une housse.
2. Ne pas se tenir au milieu des câbles de soudage. Disposer les câbles d’un côté et à distance de l’opérateur.

3. Ne pas courber et ne pas entourer les câbles autour de votre corps.
4. Maintenir la tête et le torse aussi loin que possible du matériel du circuit de soudage.
5. Connecter la pince sur la pièce aussi près que possible de la soudure.
6. Ne pas travailler à proximité d’une source de soudage, ni s’asseoir ou se pencher dessus.
7. Ne pas souder tout en portant la source de soudage ou le dévidoir.
En ce qui concerne les implants médicaux : Les porteurs d’implants doivent d’abord consulter leur médecin avant de s’approcher des opérations de soudage à l’arc, de soudage par points, de gougeage, du coupage plasma ou de chauffage par induction. Si le médecin approuve, il est recommandé de suivre les procédures précédentes.

3-5 Información sobre los campos electromagnéticos (EMF)

La corriente que fluye a través de un conductor genera campos eléctricos y magnéticos (EMF) localizados. La corriente del arco de soldadura (y otras técnicas afines como la soldadura por puntos, el ranurado, el corte por plasma y el calentamiento por inducción) genera un campo EMF alrededor del circuito de soldadura. Los campos EMF pueden interferir con algunos dispositivos médicos implantados como, por ejemplo, los marcapasos. Por lo tanto, se deben tomar medidas de protección para las personas que utilizan estos implantes médicos. Por ejemplo, aplique restricciones al acceso de personas que pasan por las cercanías o realice evaluaciones de riesgo individuales para los soldadores. Todos los soldadores deben seguir los procedimientos que se indican a continuación con el objeto de minimizar la exposición a los campos EMF generados por el circuito de soldadura:
1. Mantenga los cables juntos retorciéndolos entre sí o uniéndolos mediante cintas o una cubierta para cables.
2. No ubique su cuerpo entre los cables de soldadura. Disponga
los cables a un lado y apártelos del operario.

3. No enrolle ni cuelgue los cables sobre su cuerpo.
4. Mantenga la cabeza y el tronco tan apartados del equipo del circuito de soldadura como le sea posible.
5. Conecte la pinza de masa en la pieza lo más cerca posible de la soldadura.
6. No trabaje cerca de la fuente de alimentación para soldadura, ni se siente o recueste sobre ella.
7. No suelde mientras transporta la fuente de alimentación o el alimentador de alambre.
Acerca de los aparatos médicos implantados: Las personas que usen aparatos médico implantados deben consultar con su médico y el fabricante del aparato antes de llevar a cabo o acercarse a soldadura de arco, soldadura de punto, ranurar, hacer corte por plasma, u operaciones de calentamiento por inducción.

6-4 Positioning Gun
WARNING: Keep hands clear of fixed blade and TCP locator. For best cutter performance, the MIG gun should be located so that the wire to be cut is 0.03″-0.06″ away from the fixed blade. The finished wire cut length is the vertical distance from the contact tip to the bottom of the fixed blade. NOTE: Gun and nozzle not shown in diagram.

6-5 Programming Events Sequence

WARNING: Keep hands clear of fixed blade and TCP locator.
1. Program the robot to position the MIG gun at a right angle to the blades. Insert the gun to the proper depth and position the wire between wire cutter blades.
2. Jog the welding wire before cycle start is initiated. (See 6-4 Positioning Gun on page 15) 3. Cycle Start Supply output signal from the robot controller/PLC. Pulse output for 0.5 seconds. 4. TOUGH GUN Wire Cutter will perform cutting operation. 5. Upon completion of the cutting operation, program the robot to extract the gun from the wire cutter and continue to weld.
6-6 Manual Operation
