Tecnomatix Robcad Spot addresses the entire spot-welding design process, taking into account such critical factors as space constrictions, geometric limitations and welding cycle times. Powerful features such as gun search, automatic robot placement, path cycle-time optimizers and weld-point management tools enable users to create virtual cells, simulations and programs that accurately reflect the physical cell and robot behavior. Robcad Spot Weld also enables efficient offline programming of robots, shortened production ramp-up time and optimized introduction of new products or variants without having to stop the welding line and lose production time.

Features:

• 2 way data transfer to and from various CAD/CAM systems
• 3D visualization
• Static and dynamic collision checking
• 2D and 3D cross-sectioning
• Customizable, Microsoft Excel-importable, integrated weld-point-data spreadsheet
• Advanced tools for weld point import, integration and management
• Libraries of robot, gun and component models
• Automatic selection of optimum gun assemblies
• Kinematics modeling of robots and devices
• Automatic placement of robots in the workcell
• Automatic generation of robot programs
• Simulation of robots, humans, part flow and mechanical operations

Benefits:

• Improve weld point management and distribution
• Increase gun reusability rate
• Optimize the workcell layout design
• Detect simulation problems at early stages of planning
• Increase validation of collision free weld spots
• Validate and optimize welding programs to meet the specifications
• Automatically create sequence information that is helpful for PLC design
• Reduce shop floor installation, debug and ramp-up time
