Each pressurized and open state of a welding gun should be defined as a separate pose. If a welding gun is a 2-column gun, the state at the time the X1 and X2 signal are given should be defined also.

 

Open the motion dialog box, click the <Active mech> button and select a welding gun. When the pose tab in the motion dialog box is clicked, the state will become as shown in [Figure 3.6]. Defined poses will be listed in the list box. The example shown in Figure 3.8 is the state of only one pose, which is called HOME.

 

When the [Create] button is clicked, a dialog box will be displayed as shown in [Figure 3.8]. The user can input poses using this dialog box. The units used are degrees for the X gun and mm for the C gun. The 3 poses described in [Table 3-2] should be created
