Purpose
|
|
Use the Resource Builder workbench to easily build the water jet cleaning device.
|
|
|
The geometry of the cleaner will be imported from an external file to build the tool resource. To be able to use it in a manufacturing project, it will be completed with the appropriate information to easily attach it to a robot and to simulate its operation.

|
Define the tool resource
|
|
2.1
|
|
Import the geometry from the file Water_Jet_Cleaner.step, which is located on the installation drive of this manual.
|
|
2.2
|
|
Create a new tool type resource for the cleaning device.
|
|
|
3
|
Build the cleaning device shape
|
3.1
|
|
Attach the imported geometry to the resource.
|
|
|
4
|
Define the cleaner device properties
|
