Tool Selection Assistant
New Functionalities
- Support all axis for weld gun approach direction
- This option will apply to all the commands of Tool Selection
assistant. Biggest impact will be seen in the way Pie reports and
section planes are positioned. The pie report and section planes
will be positioned as per the approach direction defined in the
application setting.
In case of Pie report: if a particular orientation of the weld gun
is accessible then, the Axis of approach will lie in the green zone
of the pie report.
In case of Section plane: By positioning the section plane as per
the approach direction, you will always see the right view in the
section result window.
- Capability to update Robot Posture after changing the Robot
Configuration in Generate stack of 2D Sections/3D Slices at the
selected welds command
- In Generate stack of 2D sections/ 3D slices at the selected
weld, in current scenario once the user changes the Robot
configuration using the Robot Configurations Combo box in the
dialog, the corresponding change is not reflected. This highlight
provides the functionality of changing the Robot configuration using
the Robot Configuration Combo box in the Dialog.
- Change Pie report colors for Analyze Welds for Robot command
- Currently, it is difficult to properly analyze the pie charts if
the pie chart color resembles that of the surrounding resources
color. This enhancement would help to properly analyze the results
of the welds, by changing the color.
Enhanced Functionalities
- User Interface Capabilities for Generate stack of 2D sections/
3D slices at the selected weld
- In Generate stack of 2D sections/ 3D slices at the selected weld
command, currently you can't change the manufacturing location. This
highlight allows user to move the manufacturing location with a
compass manipulation.
- User Interface Capabilities for Analyze Welds for Robot
- In the Analyze Welds for Robot command, you are able to select
multiple welds by multi acquisition.
- Performance improvement for Auto Gun Search Command
- Auto gun search is the entry point command in process planning.
It enables user to minimize amount of new tooling design for a new
product. This command performs search over very large no. of weld
guns and welds to enable validation. The improvement of performance
of this command gives a significant value as; it directly reduces
the time required to validate a new product.
- Support gun position changes and moving manufacturing location,
during manual weldgun search
- With this option, you can lock the manufacturing location by
using Lock Location check box. After manipulating the manufacturing
location using compass manipulation and on checking Lock Location
check box, the compass disappears and you can't modify the
manufacturing location with out un-checking the Lock location check
box.
