TORCH LEAD CONNECTIONS

POWER CABLE - AIR COOLED

A #2 AWG power cable is used on the Prince??XL air cooled torch. The torch end is threaded into the torch body. The power cable ??? tting connects to the Power Block.

(MK P/N 003-1674) when using a Cobramatic?? wire feed cabinet. When the Prince??XL is purchased as a Spool Gun, the power cable comes standard with a lug connector and should be connected to positive lug of power supply.

CONDUIT

The Prince???XL Torch comes standard with a poly lined conduit, for running aluminum wire. The longer ??? tting with a shallow groove is used on the torch end. A set screw located on top of the torch handle secures the conduit in

Prince XL?? - Owner's Manual - Page 3

place. A small spool liner (MK P/N 003-0198) is used on the spool gun and held in place by the same set screw.

GAS HOSE

The gas hose is secured over the barbed gas ??? tting with a tie wrap. The cabinet end of the gas hose uses our standard gas ??? tting (1/8??? - 27 nps), whereas the spool gun uses a 5/8??? - 18 IAA RH male gas ??? tting.

ELECTRIC CABLE

A seven conductor control cable is used on the Prince??XL Torch. The torch end of the control cable is secured to the torch with a boot clamp and plugged into the pot assembly and micro switch connectors. Slack is left in the electric cable as it exits the back of the torch to prevent cable breakage. The cabinet end has a seven pin "W" clocked amphenol connector. See page 22 for torch electrical connections.

INSTALLING SPOOL ASSEMBLY (P/N 003-2090)

Loosen the screw that secures the conduit through access hole located on top right rear handle with a 1/16" Allen wrench.

Conduit Securing Screw

Remove conduit by pulling it out of the back of the gun.

2 Screws

E-Ring

Rear Wire Guide

Spool Liner

Install spool liner, and secure with screw.

Remove both rear handle screws, and secure spool canister with longer screws provided.

SPOOL GUN SETUP

LOADING ELECTRODE WIRE

Unscrew, and remove spool cover.

Apply tension to drive rolls, so the wire will be picked up and fed through the contact tip.

Straighten out ??? rst six inches of wire and push through liner.

Jog trigger until wire is picked up by drive rolls and fed through contact tip.

Hold brake assembly back towards top of gun, load spool onto shaft with wire coming off the bottom of the spool. Release brake assembly to rest on wire surface.

Replace spool cover, making sure opening is over liner.

Note:

The brake paddle assembly is designed to automatically control spool drag and keep the wire from jumping off the spool.

SECTION B

OPERATION

the slave motor in the cabinet, combined with the pull of the torch motor, causes the wire to literally ??? oat friction-free through the wire conduit. The 24VDC torch motor is controlled by a 3-3/4 turn potentiometer in the torch handle.

BARRELS

AIR/WATER COOLED

The Prince?? XL air cooled systems come standard with a straight air/water cooled barrel assembly. An optional curved air/water cooled barrel assembly (LE P/N KP2298-2, MK P/N 003-2152) is also available. In cases where these barrels need to be extended or the tip threads have been damaged, a Tip Extender (LE P/N KP2244-1, MK P/N 621-0424) can be adapted. The same tips and threads can be used, however a longer Te??? on liner (LE P/N KP2226-1; MK P/N 931-0137) is required.

BARREL REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

To remove a barrel assembly, loosen the patented EZ Lock??? Taper lock nut assy MK P/N 003-2572 3/4 to 1 turn. This will push barrel away from the body far enough so that it may be pulled out of the body.

To replace a barrel assembly, take care not to damage the ???O??? rings when inserting into the body. Open the drive and idler roll door and seat the barrel assembly until the inlet guide is almost touching the drive and idler roll and the rear face of the barrel is ??? ush with the aluminum body block. Tighten taper lock nut assembly ??? rmly so that barrel cannot rotate.

BARREL ROTATION

To rotate a barrel assembly, loosen the patented EZ Lock??? Taper lock nut assembly no more than 1 turn. Rotate barrel to the position of your choice and retighten taper lock nut assembly ??? rmly so that the barrel cannot rotate.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to weld without the barrel being tightly secured in the torch body, or damage to the barrel or body may result.

CONTROLS AND SETTINGS

POTENTIOMETER

The pot is located in the bottom of the pistol grip and provides 3-3/4 turns of rotation and up to 750 ipm.

The pot is mounted to one side of a PC board and is held in place by a support plate; both of which have slots that locate and secure the pot in the handles. The other side of the PC board houses the motor connectors and ribbon cable. Locking disks behind the pot knob provides a stop at the mini- mum and maximum pot settings.

TRIGGER, GAS VALVE AND MICRO SWITCH

The torch trigger is designed so that when it is partially depressed, gas ??? ow starts via the valve located in the torch body, prior to ignition of the arc. When the trigger is partially released after welding (extinguishing the arc), gas ??? ow continues until the trigger is fully released; built-in pre and post gas ??? ow.

The micro switch is wired ???Normally Open??? and secured to the torch block with two (2) screws. An insulator between the torch block and micro switch prevents accidental shorting of the switch leads. The trigger pin reaches through the handle and activates the micro switch just before the trigger bot- toms out on the handle.

Prince XL?? - Owner's Manual - Page 6

DRIVE AND IDLER ROLLS

GENERAL

The Prince?? XL torch comes standard with knurled drive rolls which will handle wire diameters from .023 - 1/16 inch. Optional grooved drive rolls are also available for feeding aluminum wire if desired (see Optional kits).

Drive roll tension is accomplished by means of a pressure adjusting allen screw located on the left hand side of the torch. Proper tension is achieved when wire does not slip if a small amount of pressure is added to the wire as it exits the tip.

----------- IMPORTANT -----------

NOTE: Over-tightening of the drive rolls will cause excessive knurling and/or deformation of the wire. When the complete system is setup properly, feeding wire out of the end of the torch and letting fall on the ground should form a large uniform circle. If it forms a spiral or spring then there is too much tension in the system, please refer to the Cabinet Owners Manual for adjustment to the tension setting.

INCORRECT DRIVE ROLL TENSION IS THE NUMBER ONE

CAUSE OF POOR WIRE FEED PERFORMANCE

---------------------------------------------

DRIVE ROLL INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

Note:

Neither of the handles needs to be removed to access the Drive or Idler Rolls.

1.Using a 5/32??? hex wrench, loosen the Idler Roll tension screw. This will relieve the pressure against the drive roll.

2.Align the Drive Roll Removal Tool (P/N 931-0100) over the ??? ats of the drive roll. Hold the torch with one hand or on a table top, with the other hand give the Removal Tool a quick snap-turn in the CLOCKWISE DIRECTION.

3.Once the drive roll is loose, continue to spin drive roll in the clockwise direction to remove the drive roll from the torch.

4.Install a new drive roll on the left-hand threaded shaft. The drive roll will self-tighten when it is feeding wire.

IDLER ROLL INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

1.Using a slot type screwdriver, loosen idler screw, taking care not to lose lock washer under idler roll.

2.Insert new idler roll and lock washer onto screw, insuring that idler groove is toward top and lock washer is beneath.

Prince XL?? - Owner's Manual - Page 7

3.Tighten.

4.Using a 5/32??? hex wrench, turn the Idler Roll tension screw into the gear- box housing and reference the Gearbox Assembly drawing to adjust the pressure against the drive roll.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lock washer must be under idler roll or it will not turn freely.

SECTION D

MAINTENANCE

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Maintenance of the torch will normally consist of a general cleaning of the wire guide system, including tubes, drive rolls, and conduits at regular inter- vals.

Remove spatter build-up from inside of nozzles with a hardwood stick.

The only parts on the Prince?? XL that are subject to normal wear are the conduit, contact tips, gas cups, barrel liners, drive and idler rolls. A supply of these parts should be maintained on hand.

If repairs do become necessary, quali??? ed shop maintenance personnel can easily replace any part.

Your Cobramatic System is designed to provide years of reliable service.

Normal wear and component failure may require occasional service.

The number of units in operation and the importance of minimal ???down time??? will determine to what extent spare parts should be stocked on hand. See the ???Recommended spare parts list??? for the most commonly replaced parts.

SECTION E

 

TROUBLESHOOTING

 

 

 

Regardless of which torch or feeder used, all MK Products push-pull guns

 

 

operate on the same principle. The 115 VAC or 42VAC slave motor in the

 

 

feeder runs at a fast, constant speed, but has very low torque. It is always

 

 

trying to feed more wire than the torch motor wants, and when the motor gets

 

 

all it wants, it slows the slave motor, preventing a bird???s nest. Because of the

 

 

low torque produced by the slave motor, a brake system is used to prevent

 

 

wire overrun rather than tension.

 

 

The 24 VDC torch motor is controlled by a solid state speed control and a

 

 

pot located in the torch. The torch motor, potentiometer, and micro switch

 

 

are connected to the cabinet/control box via a control cable and amphenol. If

 

 

this cable becomes damaged, a variety of symptoms can occur, depending

 

 

on which wire(s) break. To test, check each wire for continuity and shorts.

 

 

With the increased torque rating in the current Prince XL motor, P/N 211-

 

 

0071, it now draws about twice as much current on start-up as the original

 

 

Prince motors P/N???s 211-0054 & 211-0056. Even though the duration of

 

 

start-up is very short, about 15msec, it is too much for the standard 2A fuse

 

 

to handle. For this reason, all 2A fuses in the motor circuitry (F1) should be

 

 

changed to a 3AG 4A fast blow 250V fuse, P/N 151-0043. This new 4A fuse

 

 

is suf??? cient for use on all model welding guns on the wire feeders, while still

 

 

providing protection for the circuitry from any shorts in the motor or motor

 

 

leads.

 

 

This fuse change includes all Cobramatic, Cobramatic II and CobraMig 250/

 

 

260, WC-1, Torpedo???s, and any other motor circuits powering Prince XL or

 

 

Spool Guns using motor P/N 211-0071.

 

 

Remember the micro switch in the torch activates both the 115 VAC or 42

 

 

VAC and 24 VDC circuits in the cabinet. Therefore, if the slave motor and

 

 

brake solonoid operate, but the torch does not, look more toward the 24 VDC

 

 

circuits, speed control, control cable, or the torch motor. If nothing operates,

 

 

look more toward the 115 VAC or 42 VAC input, micro switch leads, or micro

 

 

switch.

 

 

The complete pot assembly is connected to the motor and set into the

 

 

handles. If the pot is disassembled, the pot knob can be put on the shaft in

 

 

any position and secured with the set screw. Turn the knob fully CCW, then

 

 

fully CW, then fully CCW again. This will self-align the pot, i.e., fully CCW will

 

 

be minimum wire feed speed, and fully CW will be maximum wire speed.

TESTING THE TORCH

MOTOR CHECK

Remove the torch connector from the cabinet.

Using the torch Amphenol, check the resistance across pins ???A??? and ???B??? (motor leads). The resistance across the motor should be between 5-10 ohms.

If an open circuit or short exist, check the motor leads and motor indepen- dently.

TESTING THE POTENTIOMETER

Using the torch Amphenol, check the resistance across pin ???D??? (wiper) and pin ???C???. The resistance should vary from 0 - 5K ohms.

Check the resistance across pin ???D??? (wiper) and pin ???G???. The resistance should vary from 5K - 0 ohms.

TESTING THE MICRO SWITCH

Using the torch Amphenol, check for continuity across pins ???E??? and ???F??? when the trigger is pressed.
