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.
