Path tab

NOTE: This topic is only applicable to the following Robotics OLP products:

General

Base: Robot base used in the path
Sync base: To enable the Synchro base for Yaskawa, Fanuc robot brands, tick this box.
Tool: Robot tool used in the path
Configuration: Robot configuration used in the path. Determines how the robot joints are calculated when moving to points. Configuration is usually 0 for floor mounted robots and 1 for ceiling mounted robots. (Configuration names depends on the robot brand)
Work piece: Select and lock the needed workpiece for welding if there exist multiple workpieces.

Via, approach, near, away, departure, via points: These points can be taken away from path by unchecking. The distance to next point (when approaching weld) or from previous point (when departing from weld) can be modified.
Lead in: An approach distance or diameter with certain angle can be given to the cutting tool at the beginning of the cut operation.
Lead out: Similar function like lead in but applies during the end of the cut operation.
Click the Cross icon to lock the values set under Lead in/Lead out function.

Set start: Set weld start to current point
Set end: Set weld end to current point
Reset: Reset end and/or start point to original position
Repick: Repick the weld path from 3D world
Renalyze: Renalayze the weld path by topology analysis
Reverse: Reverse the weld path (change direction to the opposite)
Multipass: Make a multipass weld from the selected weld (opens the multipass interface, see Multipass weld)
Change start: Change the start point to the current point on a path that forms a closed loop (start and end points are the same)
Stitch: Enables stitch welding ON for the path (intermittent welding)
Auto smooth: Smooths the wire roll based on the first and the last point in the path
Auto align: Smooths the wire roll based on the first point in the path
