Arguments<br />

GlueC [\On|]\[Off] [\Conc] CirPoint ToPoint Speed Gluegun [\F1]<br />

[\F2] [\D] Zone Tool [\WObj]<br />

[\On] Data type: switch<br />

The argument \On is used in the first Glue instruction to start the glue process (see<br />

Figure 1).<br />

The argument may only be used in the first glue instruction to perform the<br />

necessary gun opening and setting of the flow in advance. Executing two<br />

consecutive instructions with \On argument will result in an error message.<br />

As the instruction cannot contain the arguments \On and \Off together, the gluing<br />

path must have at least 2 instructions, one containing the \On and one containing<br />

the \Off argument.<br />

The pre-actions, which are performed on the path to the programmed position,<br />

are setting of the gun opening output and setting of the analog glue outputs.<br />

[\Off] Data type: switch<br />

The argument \Off is used in the last gluing instruction to terminate the gluing<br />

when the programmed position is reached. On the way to the end position the<br />

output for opening the gun as well as the flow outputs will be reset according to<br />

the given time within the specified ggundata.<br />

So it is not possible to terminate gluing without using the \Off argument during<br />

movements.<br />

[\Conc] (Concurrent) Data type: switch<br />

Subsequent instructions are executed while the robot is moving. This argument<br />

is used in the same situations as corresponding argument in other Move instructions<br />

but for gluing it is also useful to permit higher speeds when consecutive<br />

glue instructions are close to each other.<br />

Using the argument \Conc, the number of movement instructions in succession is<br />

limited to 5. In a program section that includes StorePath-RestoPath, movement<br />

instructions with the argument \Conc are not permitted.<br />

If this argument is omitted, the subsequent instruction is only executed after the<br />

robot has reached the specified zone.<br />

CirPoint Data type: robtarget<br />

The circle point of the robot. The circle point is a point on the circle between the<br />

start point and the destination point. To obtain the best accuracy, it should be<br />

placed about halfway between the start and destination points. If it is placed too<br />

close to the start or end point, the robot may give a warning. The circle point is<br />

defined as a named position or stored directly in the instruction (if marked with<br />
