Fanuc M6i spray-paints a curved part. The path follows a freehand sketch
projected on the surface. The path is created with two mouse clicks in some 30
seconds and eliminates wasted time and paint.Fanuc P155 paints a chair. To allow the path to extend beyond the chair, the
path was projected on phantom surfaces that appear as transparent in the
movie. By reading the chair design, RobotWorks eliminates the lengthy
process of manually teaching the robot this long windy path along the chair's
surfaces.Fanuc M6i applies adhesive to the rim of an oil pan. The robot path around
the pan involves many arcs and curves. With RobotWorks this task requires
two clicks to program 243 points in about 30 seconds.Motoman UP6 applies glue on a contoured surface along a curved path created
in a free hand sketch. Using RobotWorks to run this task you click the mouse
four times to program 550 points in about 45 seconds. Tasks involving
complex contours are laborious to program manually and easily accomplished
with RobotWorks.A KUKA robot carries a car window against fixed glue dispensing machine, to
apply the glue precisely around the glass rim. The glue dispensing tip is not
round but shaped, and it turns around the path to be tangential at all times while
the glass maintains its orientation (an option in RobotWorks).A FANUC robot demonstrates thermal coating of a jet engine blade, when the
part is mounted on two-axes positioner, and the tool remains horizontal at all
times. The path is a Pattern, available in RobotWorks for many curves surfaces.
