3 INTRODUCTION
The RT welding torch systems are developed for fully automatic MIG/MAG welding using
robots. The systems consist of a variety of Aristo RT torch necks designed for robotic use,
torch mounts, cable assemblies optimized for robotic use, and safety-off features to prevent
the system from damage in case of collision.
The standard RT welding system provides collision protection through the use of KS-2 that is
a mechanical spring-loaded safety-off functionality. This can optionally be replaced by FL-1 to
take advantage of the collision detection function of the robot control system. The standard
RT welding system can be used with a variety of cable assembly types.
KSC-2 and FLC-2 torch mounts with Infiniturn or Helix cable assemblies are intended for use
in hollow wrist robot welding systems designed for advanced welding applications. The
safety-off mechanism in the KSC-2 torch mount allows for large elastic deflection of the torch
in case of collision. The Infiniturn and Helix cable assemblies are light-weight and simple to
install, providing a highly reliable system with precise maneuvering capabilities.
In combination with the well established Aristo RT robot welding torches, these constituents
create a highly reliable and long lasting system which needs only a minimum of
maintenance.
Consumption wear parts and instruction manual are included on delivery of torch mounts and
cable assemblies.
The ESAB ordering numbers, available accessories, spare parts, and wear parts are
found in the Spare parts list.

4 TECHNICAL DATA
4.1 Welding torch
The torch model has to be chosen according to the welding application. The required
duty-cycle and capacity, the cooling method, and the wire diameter must be considered. If
there are increased requirements, for example caused by preheated work pieces, high heat
reflection in corners, etc, these must be taken into account by selecting a welding torch with
adequate reserve in power rating.
The RT welding torches are intended for the use with CE-conform welding power sources for
the processes of metal inert gas welding (MIG), metal active gas welding (MAG) and metal
inert gas soldering with commercial round wires. Do not use the torch for other processes.
For aluminium welding the RT82W water cooled torch must be used.
See the spare parts list for available torch models.

For detailed information regarding the rating and technical specifications of your torch please
see the spare parts list included with the torch. The values for torch rating and duty cycle are
valid for a 10 min. cycle.
The indicated ratings refer to a standardized case of use. In special cases, e.g. in case of an
especially high heat reflection on the torch, the torch may overheat at lower currents than
indicated. In this case, please use a more powerful model or reduce the duty cycle.
The rating will be notably reduced with the use of pulsed arc power sources.
For cable assembly ratings, see section "Cable assemblies".

4.2 Torch mount
The type of torch mount required depends on the RT welding torch system design and on the
choice of safety-off devices, see section "Overview welding torch systems" in the
INTRODUCTION chapter.

4.2.1 Torch mounts for standard RT system
For standard RT systems the torch mount is installed on the KS-2 safety-off mechanism
(alternatively on the FL-1 intermediate flange), clamping the cable assembly and the
connected torch neck.
The torch mount must be selected in accordance with the type of torch and its geometry.
Various mount types may be used. See the spare parts list for available torch mounts for
standard RT system.

4.2.1.1 KS-2 safety-off mechanism
The KS-2 safety mechanism is a spring supported devise that protects the robot and the
torch system in case of a collision.
4.2.1.2 FL-1 intermediate flange
The rigid intermediate flange FL-1 can be used instead of the KS-2 if the robot has an
electronic collision detection system.
4.2.2 Torch mounts for hollow wrist system
In the hollow wrist system the Aristo RT welding torches are connected via a quick change
system to the torch mount.
The torch mount KSC-2 allows for elastic deflection of the torch in case of a collision. At the
same time, an electrical contact is opened, signalling the robot control to stop. After resetting
the error, the initial geometry and Tool Center Point (TCP) of the torch will be reached with
high precision. The system functions purely mechanically and is spring loaded.
The torch mount FLC-2 has no built-in safety-off function. It is a rigid mount that is connected
to the electronic collision detection system in the robot.

The Infiniturn cable assembly allows for endless rotation of the torch in both directions. At the
same time, cooling fluid, shield gas, blow out air, the welding power and the signal of the
safety-off mechanism are transferred.
The Helix cable assembly is designed for a rotational range of ±270° from the neutral
position and can be used for simple welding tasks that do not require endless rotation.
The Infiniturn cable assemblies are available in gas and water cooled versions, the Helix
cable assemblies can be universally used for gas or water cooled applications. A Helix cable
assembly operated with a gas cooled torch must not be connected to a water cooling
system.

5 INSTALLATION
5.1 Preparation
WARNING!
For your own safety, make sure that the robot is either in standby or power-less
state before doing maintenance work in the moving radius of the robot.
The following assembly instructions must be exactly adhered to. Attention is to be paid
during assembly that the cables are not damaged. This can lead to a short circuit, which may
damage the electronics of the robot or the welding torch.
Use only original ESAB components that have been specially developed for this purpose.
Only then can the correct functioning of the whole welding torch system be guaranteed.
Below, the different steps of installation are described in the preferred order, recommended
by ESAB.
CAUTION!
For hollow wrist systems make sure that the clear space around the robot is at
least Ø45 mm (1.8 inch) around the wrist and 50 mm (2.0 inch) near the wire
feeder.
5.2 Installing the adapter flange
1. Position the model-specific adapter flange (2) with the index pin on the robot arm and fix
it with the hexagon socket screws (1) included. The number and type of screws and
index pin may vary depending on the robot model.
NOTE!
Ensure that the index pin is located correctly! The maximum torque of 1.2 Nm
(10.5 lbf in) must be observed for the fastening of the adapter flange screws.
Prevent self-loosening of the screws by using suitable thread locking measures.
5.3 Installing the torch mount
The installation procedure of the torch mount depends on the design of the system together
with the choice of torch mount and safety-off mechanism.
Only torch mounts having a hole pattern coinciding with that of the mounting surface may be
attached.

(0.2 inch).
2. Position the mount on the safety-off mechanism KS-2 and carefully insert the cylindrical
pins (1) into the holes provided. In doing so, take the later position of the torch into
account. Two mounting positions may be potentially possible.
3. Then screw down the mount evenly using the enclosed cylinder screws with hexagon
socket (2).
NOTE!
The maximum tightening torque for the cylinder screw (2) is 6 Nm (53 lbf in)
and the property class category is 8.8.
