[553] SpotWare
The Spotweld options are general and flexible software platforms for creation of
customized and easy to use function packages for different types of spotweld systems
and process equipments.
The SpotWare option is used for sequential welding with one or several pneumatic gun
equipments. If welding with several pneumatic guns at the same time is desired then
the SpotWare Plus option has to be used instead.
The SpotWare option provides dedicated spotweld instructions for fast and accurate
positioning combined with gun manipulation, process start and supervision of the weld
equipment.
Communication with the welding equipment is normally carried out by means of
digital inputs and outputs but a serial interface is also available for some type of weld
timers.
It should be noted that the SpotWare options are general and can be extensively
customized. They have a default “ready to use” functionality directly after install but it
is intended that some configuration data, RAPID data and RAPID routines has to be
changed during the customizing.
