6-2 Installing the Wire Cutter
WARNING:
Ensure air and power supply is off and disconnected before
proceeding. Please follow your facility's lockout / tagout procedures.
A. Mounting Wire Cutter
1. The wire cutter should be installed within the weld cell where it is
clear of all tooling and convenient for the robot to access the unit.
The base plate has been designed for mounting on top of the
TOUGH GUN Reamer. Be sure to consider movable fixtures and the
confines of the robot.
2. Attach the WC-400 wire cutter base to the top of the reamer, or
other sturdy platform using the same three (3) M6x1.0x20 mm
Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS) that are securing the clamp
housing cover onto the reamer. (see Figure 6-D)
3. If mounting a WC-100 wire cutter (old style) to the reamer, use
three (3) M6x1.0x25 mm SHCS.
4. Thread the M12 connector into the 4-Pin receptacle labeled “Wire
Cutter” located on the Setup Switch plate (on the side of the
reamer).

2. Remove the ¼” NPT plug on the T-fitting located on the side of the
reamer.
3. Install air fitting WC-100-28 onto the top of the T-fitting.
4. Install the supplied 810-1-2 air line from the wire cutter valve to the
