הגדרה

Follow these steps for initial machine setup:

1. Machine Placement and Track Assembly

Place the VCM-200E machine on a stable, level surface. If using for straight-line cutting, ensure the track is securely positioned and aligned for the desired cut path. The machine's wheels are designed to run smoothly on the track.

2. Torch and Rack Assembly

Attach the MT 210A torch to the torch rack. The torch holder is designed for torches with a 1.38 inch (35.1 mm) barrel diameter. Secure the torch firmly using the provided fasteners. The counter-balanced design allows for torch racking distance up to 18 inches (457.2 mm) from the machine.

3. Hose Connections

Connect the appropriate hoses to the 3-hose manifold block and then to the MT 210A torch. Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free. The system is configured for 2-hose operation.

4. חיבור חשמל

For the export model, connect the machine to the provided 220V AC to 110V AC step-down transformer, and then connect the transformer to a suitable power outlet. Ensure the power supply meets the machine's requirements.

הוראות הפעלה

Operating the VCM-200E involves precise control of speed and torch positioning.

1. בקרת מהירות

The machine features dual drive controls and a direct speed readout. Adjust the speed using the control knob. The constant speed AC induction motor, located opposite the torch for cooler operation, maintains a consistent speed over a wide range of temperatures. The speed range is 1 to 60 inches (25.4 mm to 152.4 cm) per minute.

2. Straight Line Cutting

For straight-line cuts, ensure the machine is properly seated on its track. Adjust the torch position and angle as required for the material thickness and desired cut. Activate the drive and monitor the speed readout.

3. Circle Cutting

To perform circle cuts, attach a radius rod assembly (sold separately) to the VCM-200E. The machine can cut circles with diameters ranging from 4 inches (101.6 mm) to 96 inches (243.8 cm). Follow the instructions provided with the radius rod assembly for proper setup and operation.

4. Torch Holder Adjustment

The torch holder can be adjusted using large thumb screws for hand-tight adjustments, allowing for precise positioning of the torch relative to the workpiece.

תַחזוּקָה

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your VCM-200E machine.

• Keep the machine and track clean from dust, debris, and metal particles.
• Inspect hoses and connections regularly for wear, damage, or leaks. Replace as necessary.
• Check the condition of the torch tip and replace it when worn to maintain cut quality.
• Ensure all moving parts, especially the drive mechanism, are free from obstruction.
• יש לאחסן את המכונה בסביבה יבשה ונקייה כאשר אינה בשימוש.

פתרון בעיות

If you encounter issues with your VCM-200E, consider the following:

• המכונה לא זזה: Check power connection, transformer operation, and ensure the drive control is engaged.
• מהירות לא עקבית: Verify the track is clean and free of obstructions. Inspect the cone disc drive for any issues.
• Poor cut quality: Check the torch tip for wear, ensure proper gas pressures, and verify torch alignment and speed settings.
• דליפות גז: Tighten all hose connections. If leaks persist, replace damaged hoses or fittings.

For persistent problems, contact ESAB customer support or a qualified service technician.
