New Multi path capability for arc welding

After adding arc welding weaving in 2025xFD03, we are now adding multipath arc welding in R2026GA.

 

VALUE :

  • Simulate the actual weaving motion or multiple robot weld paths along a single contour performed by arc welding robots which is used for welding thick metals and for filling wide, flat joints.

  • Allows to detect collision and get an accurate cycle time estimation.

  • Allows to build the arc welding task in the Robotics Arc welding apps or from the Bead fastener in the design structure.

 

HIGHLIGHTS : 

  • Creates a multi-pass robot trajectory along a single contour

  • Easily create the initial Root Pass (the standard trajectory) and then additional passes inside a single interface

  • Define weld parameters such as Flip Direction, Base Offset, Wall Offset, Approach Distance, and Depart Distance
