CAD-Based Path Generation

CAD-based path generation automatically creates robotic welding paths from part models, significantly reducing programming time for complex geometries.

Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action

CAD-based path generation uses computer-aided models of the part to compute optimal welding paths. These calculations consider geometry, material, and desired weld quality.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

Automatic path generation minimizes human error and increases weld precision. This leads to improved strength and lower risk of cracks or irregularities in the weld zone.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Use CAD software to input the part model. Select appropriate material parameters and desired weld quality. Start path generation and check the resulting paths for correctness. Then program the robot and perform the welding operations.
