Purpose
|
|
Learn to extend the seam weld process geometry with process specific information. In combination with the process tables, the controller can assign the specified procedure and process parameters to the welding operation.
|
|
|
Load the project Arcwelding_Basic.cendoc from the Projects folder of this tutorial library.

Steps
|
|
1
|
Process tables
|
Process tables are technology specific tables that include possible cases of process states that the controller forwards to the tool, initiated over certain event triggers in the OLP program. In arc welding the process table defines additional parameters that are assigned to a seam welding operation.
|
|
1.1
|
|
Switch to the Controller Builder workbench.
|
|
1.2
|
|
Open the Process table dashboard and select the Arc welding process.
|
1.3
|
|
In the top right corner pick start the Import command. Pick the file ArcWelding_ControllerTable.csv from the installation directory of the training material.
Where needed, the values of the different parameters can be modified here. Just click on a value and edit it.
|
1.4
|
|
Do not forget to save the controller with the new or updated tables.
|
|
|
|
|
2.1
|
|
Switch back to the OLP workbench.
|
2.2
|
|
In the Welding contour definition, press the Weld seam properties button. This displays a set of seam definition parameters.
|
2.3
|
|
Enter the values for the new welding operation and select the seam on the workpiece to program the operation.
|
2.4
|
|
Open the Active program dashboard. Notice that the values from the seam definition and the controller table have been applied to the operation.
