2.3. Tip dressing and gun search program preparation​

 

Prepare individual tip dressing and gun search programs that are to be executed by G1 and G2. Refer to the Spot Welding Function Manual separately for more details about the tip dressing and gun search functions.

 

The figure shown below is an example of the tip dressing and gun search programs for G1. Here, we need to go through features that should be part of the program configuration for executing the tip dressing and gun search programs for G1, independently of the execution of the operation program.  

 

 

n AXISCTRL OFF,T1

For turning the G1 axis into the “additional axis control invalid’ state. In the state, if the below Move command is executed, the G1 axis can be executed independently.

 

n MOVE command

The Move command needs to be prepared using the units that have a position only in relation to the G1 axis. Set the unit number as 2 by pushing the [SHIFT]+[Unit] keys, and then record the Move command by pushing the [REC] key.

 

 

n AXISCTRL ON,T1

It is required to turn the G1 axis into the “additional axis control valid’ state. In this state, the G1 axis can be executed simultaneously when executing the operation program of the robot.
