Tack Welding

The tack welding function is provided for fixing the substrate to a designated location before the main welding. Welding conditions for tack welding must be created, and it is possible to perform tack welding by moving the robot quickly using direct teaching. Tack welding is available through the following two methods.

1. TB/TW – Select Welding Command → Property Tab → Check Tack Welding Item
   

   

   No.	Item	Description
   1	Select Welding Condition	Select a preset welding condition to use for tack welding, or save as a different name to use it later.
   2	Confirm Welding Condition	Confirm the selected welding condition setting. This will display a popup.
   3	Perform Tack Welding Popup Screen	A separate popup window is displayed, and tack welding is performed by moving the robot using direct teaching and the Get Pose button of the cockpit. To end tack welding, press the End Tack Welding button.
