To validate a weld, gun feasibility & robot reach analyses are performed to check clearance and interference with the product and surrounding tools such as jigs and fixtures. During this process, 2D sections may be created at various instances to accurately define the robot and gun positions. The Generate 2D function supports this process. It has been greatly simplified and included in the Jog panel.
User Experience Value
Easily validate the robot and gun positions under multiple conditions.
Robot Simulation performance has been greatly improved when visualizing Tags. Improvements to the Tag model has provided dramatic improvements when many Tags are in the session, particularly when the tags are attached to an object in motion; for example while visualizing hundreds of Tag points in Robot Paint Trajectories that are attached to a part being moved by a conveyor in the simulation. When users perform the tool feasibility the user may create 2D sections at various instances to accurately define the robot and tool positions with respect to the surrounding tools. This process has been greatly simplified with the Generate 2D Section functionality which is now contained within the Jog panel. Users can more easily validate the robot and tool positions under multiple conditions.
