Spot-Welding Process Design and Validation

Tecnomatix Process Simulate Spot Weld enables users to design and validate spot welding processes in a 3D graphics and simulation environment from early planning phase up to detailed engineering stages and offline programming. Process Simulate Spot Weld facilitates manufacturing engineering tasks such as distribution of weld points to stations catering for geometric and cycle time constraints and selection of best weld gun from a classified library to re-use existing guns and tools.

Features:

• Projection of welds on parts
• Gun search wizard
• Weld gun validation
• Design/modify weld gun and tooling geometry and kinematics
• Robot reach test
• Robot smart placement
• Robotic simulation editing

Benefits:

• Reduce cost of change with early detection and communication of product design issues
• Reduce number of physical prototypes with upfront virtual validation
• Optimize cycle times through simulation
• Reduce cost by re-using standard tools and facilities
• Minimize productions risk by simulating several manufacturing scenarios
• Increase process quality by emulating realistic processes throughout the process lifecycle
