Workshops
02/28 & 03/01
10:05 AM | 02:00 PM
10:05 AM | 02:00 PM
RobotStudio® for Welding
Live demonstration of RobotStudio® and the ArcWeld PowerPac. Step-by-step instructions to offline programming of specific welding applications.
This workshop will discuss and demonstrate the ease of programming Arc Weld instructions and weld paths using RobotStudio® and the ArcWeld PowerPac addin. You will learn how using standard CAD geometry tools and point and click methods make programming your next weld project quick and easy in the graphical interface of the ABB Robotstudio® software. Create and program your next weld project offline and increase cell uptime and productivity using RobotStudio®.

Weld Sensing and Tracking
Live demonstration of tactile sensing, ABB’s WeldGuide IV, and laser seam tracking in ABB’s Weld Lab.
This workshop will discuss and demonstrate the various tools to deal with welding product variation. Sensing devices to detect location features range from tactile touch style to active wire and laser based. We will also show tracking technologies such as “through-the-arc” and optical laser to offset pre-programmed paths. A combination of these tools can be helpful with part variations for your ABB robotics welding systems.

Spot Weld Gun Setup
Live demonstration of Spot Gun set-up, including servo-tuning, and SpotWare configurations in ABB’s Weld Lab.
This workshop is a hands-on experience with the Servo Gun Setup tool where you will learn to use the menu driven software tool to setup, configure and tune the gun for your spot weld application and your process requirements. The demonstration will include all the necessary steps to get a functional gun, and include an overview of Robotware Spot, the process control software in the IRC5 robot controller to complete the entire Spot Application.
