Today we will be demonstrating
and learning
about the different capabilities
of the drilling and riveting operations.
First,
we will take a look
at the different methods
we can use to create
manufacturing fasteners that will be used
during the drilling and riveting process.
The first method gives us the option
to automatically create fasteners
using a synchronized data
with planning command.
We will now move on to the next
two methods and learn how to manually
create fasteners ourselves.
The first method we will demonstrate
is how to create manufacturing fasteners
from design fasteners.
You can use this method
if you are manually creating and inserting
a new manufacturing product,
and then selecting a fastener type
from the pop up window.
The next method we will be
demonstrating is how to create
manufacturing fasteners from points.
This method involves
importing an engineering document
containing all the references of rivets
with their associated parameters.
This method allows us to add
a 3D representation
from a database or catalog, because it has
no relation to the Catia fasteners.
Also notice we do not check off the create
pattern box here,
but we do have the option to
and it will create them automatically.
We will now show how you can create
and apply filters to the manufacturing
product to help with the creation
of manufacturing patterns.
Creating and applying
filters gives us the ability to hide
or show fasteners we do
or don't want to include in the patterns.
Once filters are applied, select
the manufacturing pattern command
and then add manufacturing fasteners
to pattern button.
Then select the string of fasteners
you would like to add to this pattern.
The manufacturing patterns
that you create show up
in the Manufacturing View window.
Now that we have created
manufacturing patterns, we will learn
how to edit the user parameters
of the manufacturing fasteners.
Editing the manufacturing fasteners
will allow us to use them later in the
profile section,
we are able to change the diameter, length,
depth or colour of
the manufacturing fasteners
and this can be done
to individual fasteners or all fasteners
grouped into a pattern.
Now we will create profiles and actions.
Start by selecting Create Profile Command
and in the process type
choose between a drill rivet profile,
a drill profile
or a rivet profile.
Profiles help define the parameters used
in the motion of the robot and gun
during the drilling and riveting process.
Now we will create a robot task.
You add the option
to group
all of the operations into a sequence,
or you can leave that box unchecked.
Because we had that box checked,
we can see that
all of our actions will be wrapped
into one single drill rivet sequence.
From here, we can
expand that sequence
and we'll see the individual actions.
And we have the ability to add
in robot motions here.
Now we're playing that task.
And we can actually see the drilling
and riveting process happening.
And if we go back underneath our sequence,
we can see that we have the ability
to add an offset to either
all or individual actions
underneath a sequence.
When actions are not grouped
into a single sequence,
a drill or rivet action can be edited,
this allows the addition of robot motions
to the drill or rivet operations,
which can be found
underneath the drill or rivet action.
This can be used to create more complex
movement of the robot
during the drill or rivet process.
Lastly, select
the applicator profile command
and then select the robot.
Then from the dropdown, select
the profile group type.
Then create templates.
Give each template
a name, type and default value.
Applicator
profiles define the user profiles
with their own attributes
for a controller.
Each robot may have applicative
profiles associated to it.
This is used to define the parameters
that must be downloaded,
but without any impact on the simulation.
Thank you for your attention.
