5 Functional Description

The iCAT robot mount serves for accommodating the welding torches in exact position. The
mount is fastened to the robot by means of cylinder head screws and a robot flange. In order
to cover the required performance ranges, there are two different mount versions available –
air-cooled ABIROB
range of different standard welding torches is available. The inserted spring acts with its holding
force directly upon the triggering flange and fixes the switching axis, which is positioned by
three pins, in zero position. In the event of a collision, the iCAT can be deflected by 10° in X/
Y direction and can thus prevent, as a buffer, damage to the torch, peripheral equipment and
robot. The integrated microswitches represent an additional component in the subordinate
safety circuit. In the event of a collision, these micro-switches interrupt a circuit, which can, for
example, shut down the drive units of the robot. The signal flow for this operation is carried out
via the control cable in the cable assembly.
