Step 9:
1. Press “F2” to select the “JOG” mode.
1. Next, pressing the XYZ arrow buttons will move the robot in each respective
direction. e X buttons will slide the plate forward (-) and backward (+) relative to
the front of the CNC table. e Y buttons will move the weld head left (-) and right
(+). e Z buttons will raise (-) and lower (+) the weld head.
2. Holding the shift key while pressing the XYZ buttons will increase the speed of
the movements.
Step 10:
Move the weld head (XYZ) to the location where the first weld will occur. When
setting the Z, lower the weld head until the force indicator on the side of the weld
head is set between the 3rd and 4th large tick marks (5th-7th total marks). Once
the XYZ are set, press “ENTR” to submit the coordinates for the first weld. is will
be saved as “Point 1.”
Step 11:
After pressing “ENTR” the screen will ask to choose a point type.
For welding, we will choose “Weld Point.” If “Weld Point” is not already
highlighted, use the cursor buttons in the bottom right of the pendant to
choose “Weld Point .” Once “Weld Point” is highlighted, press the “ENTR”
button to confirm choice.
Step 12:
Now you should be at this screen with “P2” displayed in the top right of the screen. To see the details of
Point 1 that we just created, press the left cursor (<-) button. e coordinates are displayed on the 3rd line
down on the screen. e 4th line shows that this point is a weld point. To create the next weld point, press
the right cursor (->) button.
