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:
Tack weld |
|
Spot weld |
|
For both types the job assignment is the same.
The job assignment consists of two types of points:
Weld Point
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:
Clearence
Engage
Retract
