The use of SolidWorks will allow the programmer to develop complex
robot paths that are just not possible in any other Offline Robot Programming
software package today for the price. RobotWorks' powerful built-in functions allow the programmer to easily create
complicated robot applications involving tilt-turn positioners, cable
management, and
Turbine Blade Spray Paths: NOW IT'S EASY!
THE CHALLENGE: Develop Robotic Thermal
Spray Path Points on Complex Turbine Blades with required path spacing and point
vector orientation as required.
THE SOLUTION: RobotWorks + SolidWorks
RobotWorks + SolidWorks provides the Robotic Thermal Spray Programmer an
All-In-One Solution. Now you can easily create robot path point files for
complex geometries found in the Turbine Blade Repair Industry. Standard
SolidWorks tools & functions give you the part tools to create exactly the path
elements needed to overcome challenging geometries found in typical Turbine
Blade IGES files. Powerful Built-In Functions of RobotWorks facilitate
fast, easy creation of robot points.
THE CHALLENGE: Given a CAD file of a
complex Turbine Component, how to create complex robotic spray paths?
THE SOLUTION: RobotWorks + SolidWorks
Because RobotWorks is an integrated Add-On to SolidWorks, the programmer has
all of the built-in power of SolidWorks to design his own robotic spray path
elements EXACTLY to fit his needs. No more is it required to program
"work-around" solutions. RobotWorks makes it possible to achieve
precisely the motion necessary for production efficiency, repeatability, and
surface condition quality. Blades, Buckets, Vane Assemblies, Transition
Sections, whatever. The RobotWorks + SolidWorks solution can handle them
all.
TILT & TURN POSITIONERS Supported For Robotic Thermal Spray
The RobotWorks External Axes Module Option gives the Thermal Spray Robot
Programmer the tools required to construct his own Tilt-Turn Positioner CAD
model and create integrated motion programs for the most complex geometries
found in the Thermal Spray industry. Robot path point output files
automatically include Axis 7 and Axis 8 motion components.
FUNNEL POINTS TOOL: Control Robot Motion For Cable & Hose Management
THE CHALLENGE: Controlling Robot Motion to
MINIMIZE Cable & Hose Motion, Swing, and Interference during Thermal Spray
Production Processes.
THE SOLUTION: RobotWorks Introduces FUNNEL
POINTS TOOL in Version 6!
Excessive motion will cause problems due to the motion & "swing" of attached
cables and hoses attendant to the Thermal Spray production process.
RobotWorks' FUNNEL POINTS TOOL allows the Thermal Spray Robot Programmer to
easily modify robot path point orientation so that he can control excessive
robot motion. The programmer may insert a "Focus Point" or a "Control
Zone" to restrict robot motion over the course of the entire path. These
elements are easily adjusted for orientation and position, and simulation can
show the resultant robot motion.
Weld Build Up Paths A Snap With RobotWorks' STEP & REPEAT Pattern Tool
VIEW the Step & Repeat Help File Page...
The RobotWorks STEP & REPEAT Pattern Tool allows the user to select part
entities to create a robot path, then automatically duplicate the path in a
variety of pattern modes. This is AN EXCELLENT TOOL for WELD BUILD-UP,
GRINDING, POLISHING, OR BUFFING.
