Hello. We have a KUKA KR C2 welding robot and we have a Binzel CAT2 collision protection installed on it. The robot is not new, but used. Now this sensor does not work, and we don't know if it worked at all. Do I need to write it somewhere in the parameters of the robot? I also noticed that the connection wires go to the welder. Maybe there is a place to look? The welder fronius a-4600 wels

CAT2 is a very simple product to test. Why not read the manual? Everything you need to know is in it.
Basically this is just a switch and to activate it, you need to apply torque. Torque limit depends on type so for details read the manual.
-
If you have a collision with the torch you want to have two things:
1 - robot stops moving
2- welding stops welding
what is actually working or not working?
do you have a wiring diagram?
if your sensor is connected to the powersource it should stop welding, this signal also should be sent to the robot to stop moving ($move_enable?)
after collision you need to "free" the robot with something like a bypass switch. How is this one connected (maybe permanent or bypassing your sensor?)
-
it is just a momentary switch. to test it you can connect it to a test circuit. continuity check with multimeter will do. then apply torque to the sensor to activate it. depending on type,(-S, -M, -X, -XL) as shown by graphs and tables in the manual.
-
and as manual shows, there is a wiring diagram.
as well as trip curve
which allows creating very simple test of the sensor:
one does not even need robot to test it. just a wrench, multimeter and the ability to interpret manual.
