Point welding operation

Operation can be used to Tack weld and Spot weld.

Job assignment

In the strategy tab, you need to select the type of welding:

For both types the job assignment is the same.

The job assignment consists of two types of points:

1. Weld Point

2. Move Point

These points can be used to construct a chain of trajectories:

Drag points

These points can be moved by dragging.

They attach to faces , curves , splines , edges , vertices . Tool axis rotates automatically when attached.

Move points can be easily moved using Smart snap :

Position of the point can also be specified as an offset from the auxiliary yellow point.

To do this, first select the yellow point:

You can also rotate the axis vector by dragging the visual vector:

Point parameters

Points contains the following parameters:

Weld Point

Move Point

Caption - point name

Position - point coordinates.

Angles - tool axis inclination angle at point

Fix vZ - if enabled point vector does not change when dragged

Fix vX - enable 6 axis edit mode:

Motion type - is set by what type to move to the point:

• MultiGoto - Multi coordinate movement

• PhysicGoto - Physical machine axes movement

• Avoid collisions - Collision avoidance movement

Axes - machine axis at the current point.

When changing axes, two buttons appear:

- moves the point to the tip of the machine

- returns previous values

- 360/+360

Flip - controls flips in the robot

Auxiliary Point

Weld point also contains additional auxiliary points:

1. Clearence

2. Engage

3. Retract
