Lower and position the tip to an approach point about 25 mm (1 in) over the starting point shown in 4.
the gure.
Slowly move the tip close to the starting point without touching it.5.
Move the tip along all four edges, through step points of equal height [3 mm (0.125) in above the 6.
edges] spaced about 13 mm (0.5 in) apart, simulating the continuous welding of lines. The distance
between two contiguous rows of perforations of a work surface is 50 mm (2 in).
Once points have been recorded along all edges and the staring point is reached, return the end 7.
effector to the home position.
Save the program using the lename “ContinuousWelding and your last name”. 8.
Test and debug your program. 9.
Shutdown Procedure
Make sure there is nothing inside of the robot gripper. If an object is in the gripper, open it to release 1.
the object.
Clear the area around the robot.2.
Execute a soft home positioning by selecting Soft Home in the Motion menu of the menu bar.3.
Set the mode to Simulation.4.
Turn off the power supply.5.
Ask your instructor if the equipment should be disconnected. If yes, disconnect the system and 6.
return the equipment to its storage location.
