C - DESCRIPTION
1 - DEFINITION
This autonomous crossedslides PROXI-WELDY, equipped with proximity sensors, can be mounted on
WELDYCAR which is able to support one MIG/MAG torch. This option is used for the automatic joint tracking
through the 2 electrical slides.
The WELDYCAR,equipped with the crossed slides, keeps the same technicalcharacteristics.The
electrical supplyofthe PROXI-WELDY is done by the 14Vplug on the WELDYCAR.
On a basic WELDYCAR, the joint tracking is made by manual slides. Now, with this option, it’s possible to
track the joint in automatic on steelor aluminiumpiece, thanks to proximity sensors.
The PROXI-WELDY can be used as a simple crossed electricalslide when the proximitysensors are not
easy to be adjusted.

2 - POWERSUPPLY
The PROXI-WELDY is powered by connecting a jackplug onto the WELDYCAR,itselfpowered by a 14.4
VDCbattery.
The WELDYCAR carriage and its associated PROXI-WELDY are completely autonomous. The WELDYCAR
battery provides continuous operationof2 hours.
3 - POSITIONOF THE TORCH
The adjustment between the torch and the proximity sensors is made by manualcrossed slides S=40 mm.
For filet joint, activate the sensors and then, adjust thetorch in the joint.

-The light V2, V3, V4 and V5 are on continuouslighting
-The V1 and V5 are off
In the manual mode, it’s possible to move the slides manually with the remote control :
-Push buttons B6 : to move the Y axis up/down
-Push buttons B7 : to move the Zaxis left/right
2.2 Automatic mode
-After adjustment in manual mode of the slides (preferably in medium position), it’s possible to put the
machine in automatic mode
-When pushing button B3 (for Y axis) orB4 (for Zaxis), the automaticmode is pre-selected in according the
selected axis.
-The light V2 (forY axis) or V3 (for Z axis) are flashing when the automaticmode is selected.
-Push start button B5 to track the jointwith the proximity sensors.
-Adjust the torch position according the proximitysensors.
In automatic mode, it’s always possible to come back to manual mode by pushing the B5 button. Push only 1
button B3 orB4 to come back to manual mode on the correspondentaxis.
