4.2. Fillet welding that uses touch sensing and arc sensing

 

In general, the arc sensing function is used together with the touch sensing function. The touch sensing function enables you to find the exact welding start and end positions, and the arc sensing function allows you to find the correct direction by moving after the welding starts.

 

The first example is the most basic fillet welding.

 

The work sequence is as shown below:

1)     Setting the weaving conditions, arc sensing conditions, and welding conditions

2)     Searching the welding start position using touch sensing

3)     Searching the welding end position using touch sensing after moving near the end position

4)     Performing the work using the weaving commands and arc commands at the welding start position.

l  The example program is as follows:

 

~~~~~~~Arc sensing program : 0001.JOB~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

' Arc sensing program

S1   MOVE P,S=60%,A=3,T=1                                      ' 1: Operation start point

S2   MOVE L,S=30%,A=3,T=1                                      ' 2: End point touch sensing position

TOUCHSEN TSC#=1,-X,-Z,0,P10,V1!                              ' 3: Save the end point touch sensing position at P10

S3   MOVE L,S=30%,A=3,T=1                                      ' 4: Start point touch sensing position

TOUCHSEN TSC#=1,-X,-Z,0,P1,V1!                       ' 5: Save the start point touch sensing position at P1
