Robotic Deflection Mount 19. The installation of the RDM mount arm is now complete and is ready to accept the torch and cable assembly. Follow the outlined procedure found in the Installation Guide provided with the Torch and Cable Assembly. 3.02 Air Assist Feature The addition of air pressure to the RDM mount during operation will increase the force that would be required to activate the switches within the mount causing the robot arm to stop.
Robotic Deflection Mount 3.03 Wiring Diagram The RDM-2000 Series deflection mount uses a single normally closed, switch to determine the deflection breakaway. Since the circuit is normally closed, the emergency stop relay will be on during operation. If the power is lost, a wire breaks, or if there is a collision, the circuit will break telling the robot to stop. (If a normally open circuit is desired, use the white wire instead of the brown.) Refer to the diagram below.
