Slide Kit Connector

The slide kit interface is a round 16–pin connector located directly to the right of the base interface connector on the rear of the thruster. The Dual Servo Spin Welder is prewired to accept a Dukane slide kit without any modification or reprogramming of the press. The connector is shown in Figure 3–8. The connector will interface to a Left/Right or an In/Out slide kit, and provides activation signals to extend and retract the slide table as well as readouts of the table position switches. It also provides an input for a signal from a part presence sensor. The pin numbers for the connector are shown in Figure A–3. The pin assignments and signal descriptions are given in Table A-III.
