Water System
There are four (4) ball valves that control the main water system to the cell. These four (4) valves are for "Plant Water Out", "Plant Water In", "To Header", and "From Header". Closing these ball valves will remove water from any of these four systems.
Each of the four (4) Robot Weld Controllers also have two (2) ball valves that control water to and from the header.
When doing maintenance on the robots and any of their associated equipment, close the water valves to stop water pressure to the equipment, and apply your personal lock according to follow all Lockout / Tagout (LOTO) procedures.
For further information regarding the water connections used throughout the 2V11 Bodyside Sub Cell, refer to the Water Drawing Package 2V11&MFS-WATER.
Major Components
The water drop controls all water coming from plant water and dispersing water to each individual piece of equipment. The water drop is located on the outside of the fencing. These are major components of the water system.
| Item | Description | Function |
|---|---|---|
| A | Apollo Ball Valves | Used to Open / Close water between the plant or the system header. |
| B | Turck Flow Monitor | Measures the flow rate of the water going through the system. If flow rate is too high or low, a signal will be sent to the system Central Processing Unit (CPU). Settings are adjusted by a potentiometer on the monitor. |
| C | Pressure Gauge | Displays the current water pressure at the specific line. |
| D | Water Filter Housing | All water in the system flows through the water filter housing to remove any contaminants from the water system. |
| E | Filter Bag Clamps | Used to secure the bag in place while in operation. Remove water pressure and power from the system before loosening clamps. |
| F | Water Inlet | Water enters the filter housing through this port. |
| G | Filter Gage | Shows the current pressure in Bars and PSID for the water filtration system. This also shows the current condition of the filter based on these values as Clean, Change, or Dirty. |
| H | Water Outlet | Water leaves the filter housing through this port to go to the rest of the system. There may be a ball valve found at this location to stop water from going downstream when in service. |
