28. Check that the index (0) marks are legible on each axis. Some day you will have to zero your machine and it would help to have these marks to know if you are in the right ball park.

Can you access the variable you want in the weld register?

I would suggest that the first lesson center on Safety; Work envelope, safety devices and processes. Next I would address the robot specifications; manufacturer, purpose, functionality, limits and other specifications ta are unique to a given machine. Then I would go into the controller and pendant communication functions - error messages - light meanings and such, how to call up programs, etc... Only after you students have a firm understanding of the robot's capabilities, processes and vocabulary would i put a teaching pendant in their hand. I would stress your technique for safely jogging a robot at a very slow speed before giving them training on how to jog a robot to "Home" or "Perch". The go over your recovery processes like re setting your TCP, re-entering a program and jogging back to a specific location to resume work.
Once your students could work and trouble shoot your existing programming I would introduce topics like touching up or adjusting points. Once they were comfortable with that I would move in to file creation and basic programming.

I am looking to build a torch test jig and was wondering if any one had thoughts, advice or files to share on the topic? I have used jigs supplied from torch manufactures like ABICOR BINZEL in the past and was wowed by how expensive they were.

Do your robots do any touch sensing? I would like to capture the position data registers on a part by part basis to analyze variation between parts before welding. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Does anyone else have any other suggestions for a TCP calibration tool? <6 axis GMAW Welder>
