Hi All
We are currently searching with the welding wire for weld seam locations, the process happens like so
1)Torch goes to cleaning station and is cleaned and wire is cut to set length (15mm)
2)A Pneumatic Clamp is activated and this holds the wire in welding torch ( this maintains the 15MM whilst the torch moves around the job)
3) A search is carried out ( 1D or 2D ) and the results are recorded in a variable (P001, or P002, Or P003 Etc)
4) After all searches or group of searches are finished the pneumatic clamp is released
5) The weld start /end position is then shifted by the relevent variable (P001, P002, P003 Etc)
5) The welds are then welded in their new position.
Problem i am having is if the wire is not cut correct Length (15MM ) every time it will give me bad search results and bad welds ( this only happens 1 in every 100 components maybe once a fortnight
Can i analyze the results along the lines of.....
IF P001 > 4 Pause
will this will look at the result held in P001 (variable) and stop the robot if the search recorded is greater value than 4mm ?
this will enable me to run the search again .
Can this be done on a NX100 robot?
Kind Regards
John
