I'm happy to start a series of posts about what's new with the upcoming r2026xGA release.

This represents a significant enhancement for arc welding. Users working on spot welding are using, since long time,  even in DELMIA V5 an apps called “tool analysis”. This apps includes various commands for analyzing the welding gun accessibility on a robot, a station or on a complete line. It is also dedicated to balance the fasteners between the different robots.

While the arc welding process has some common needs we now offer a tool analysis apps for arc welding with some specificity . It proposes for now the analyze target command with some balancing capabilities and later, the line balancing command.

Value :  

Quickly perform feasibility studies and fastener balancing on CATIA Bead Fasteners for arc welding

Highlights : 

• Re-distribute fasteners across robots in the workcell

• Easily Analyze Targets to create multiple scenarios for welding Bead Fasteners

• Quickly balance fasteners across robots in the workcell

• Check which Bead Fasteners are feasible by which robot

Here is a short video showing tool analysis in action

The tool analysis app is available for :

Fabrication Robot Programmer (RFP)
Fabrication Robot Workcell Programmer for Industrial Equipment (RARWI)
Body-In-White Robot Programmer (RBWPR) 
Body-In-White Robot Engineer (RBWRT)
