GlueWare <strong>RAPID</strong> Summary<br />

14 GlueWare<br />

The GlueWare package provides support for gluing applications that are equipped with<br />

one or two gluing guns.<br />

The GlueWare application provides fast and accurate positioning combined with gun<br />

manipulation, process start and stop.<br />

Communication with the glueing equipment is carried out by means of digital and analog<br />

outputs.<br />

14.1 Glueing features<br />

The GlueWare package contains the following features:<br />

- Fast and accurate positioning<br />

- Handling of on/off guns as well as proportional guns<br />

- Two different guns can be handled in the same program, each gun controlled<br />

by one digital signal (on/off) and two analog signals (flows)<br />

- Gun pre-opening and pre-closing respectively<br />

- Simulated glueing<br />

14.2 Programming principles<br />

Both the robot’s movement and the glue process control are embedded in one instruction,<br />

GlueL and GlueC respectively.<br />

The glueing process is specified by:<br />

14.3 Glue instructions<br />

- Gundata: glue gun data. See Data types - ggundata.<br />

- The system module GLUSER: <strong>RAPID</strong> routines and global data for customizing<br />

purposes. See Predefined Data and Programs - System Module GLUSER.<br />

- System parameters: the I/O configuration. See System Parameters - Glueing<br />

Instruction Used to:<br />

GlueL Move the TCP along a linear path and perform glueing with the<br />

given data<br />

GlueC Move the TCP along a circular path and perform glueing with<br />

the given data<br />
