WeldGuide / Multi-pass software

WylieC

Can anyone tell me if you have seen problems with the indexing feature of the multi-pass function (5.13 and 5.14) -- or problems with multi-pass in general.

We are seeing major problems with robot malfunctioning and holding its position with the arc active during replay of multi-pass. Below is an example of what the program structure looks like and this similar structure is being used in many other locations through -out the parts being welded with no problems.  We are also getting many failed to read path faults in other locations however most of which are not using the indexing feature.  Some times the robot will continue to execute the replay when the PLAY button  is , even though a failed to read path fault occurred. Other times, moving PP to main and back to the routine seams to fix it, other times nothing will fix it and the weld has to be skipped.

Looks like a software problem to me but want to hear from someone else experiencing the same.

Example:

MpLoadPath "Weld1";
ArcRepL\Start, mdWeld1_P3\EndInd:=15, v500, sm1, wd1L, wv1, z50, tWeldGun\WObj:=Frame1\Track:=tr1\SeamName:="Weld1";
ArcRepL\End, mdWeld1_2\StartInd:=19, v500, sm1, wd1, wv1, z50, tWeldGun\WObj:=Frame1\Track:=tr1\SeamName:="Weld1";

 

Anyone out there experiencing the same problems?
