4.5.5. Servo gun control for the variation of the fixed tip location

 

Changing the entire servo gun requires additional facilities (ATC, gun stand, etc.). However, if the user runs the system in a way that the moving tip is fixed and the fixed tip is changed, additional facilities will not be needed, and the time for the change can be saved as well. To support this, it is necessary to manage the consumption and the soft limit as much as the count of fixed tips, making it necessary to operate similarly to the welding gun change (servo tool change) function. Therefore, learn the welding gun change (servo tool change) function first before using this function.

 

This function differs from the servo gun change function in that mechanical and electrical connection and disconnection will not take place, and the motor and encoder information is always the same, so the information will not be not updated.

 

Sample Program		Meaning of the Command
Step B	....	(Move fixed tip 1.)
	GUNCHNG Fixed,GN=1	Handle the change with fixed tip 1.
Step	MOVE L, ...	I
	SPOT GN=1	Execute welding with gun number 1.
	...	I
Step K	....	(Move fixed tip 2.)
	GUNCHNG Fixed,GN=2	Handle the change with fixed tip 2.
Step	MOVE L, ...
	SPOT GN=2	Execute welding with gun number 2.
