Parameter Settings

The configurations determine how the projection layout is built, scaled, and spaced across the face of the part.

Pattern Layout Dimensions

1.Size along X (mm) and Size along Y (mm): Controls the overall width and length boundaries of the projection area starting from the source frame origin.

2.Step along X (mm) and Step along Y (mm): Defines the resolution gap. The X step determines the distance between parallel passes, while the Y step dictates how close together individual calculation markers are dropped along each line.

3.Triangular path (deg): Setting an angle greater than zero pulls the outer boundary edges inward. This morphs a standard rectangular grid into a clean, tapered triangular pattern.

Distribution and Connection Rules

1.Cover all surface: When checked, it forces the calculation loop to extend all the way to the maximum boundary limits, ensuring no edges are left short if the sizing steps do not divide evenly.

2.Distribute lines evenly: When activated, it dynamically resizes the gap between lines so every pass is spaced perfectly across the chosen area without leaving an uneven gap at the final edge.

3.Connect lines: Joins individual parallel lines together at their ends into a single, uninterrupted zig-zag path, preventing the robot from constantly lifting and resetting between rows. This setting is kept on by default.

4.Remove points that are not on the surface: This filters out calculation markers that miss the target geometry entirely. When active, lines that fall off the edges or pass through hollow cutouts/holes are deleted automatically rather than creating floating air-paths.

Multi-Pass Offsets

1.Repeat times: Sets the total number of identical path layers to generate.

2.Repeat Offset along Z (mm): Sets a vertical spacing distance for each extra layer. This creates parallel multi-pass layers stacked along the Z-axis, which helps when programming layered material deposition or multi-stage surface treatments.

Program Integration

1.Create Program: Automatically generates a functional motion program alongside the raw geometry lines. Is on by default.

2.Tool angle X (deg) and Tool angle Y (deg): Tilts the orientation angle of the robot's TCP relative to the surface normal, allowing for fixed nozzle angles or custom torch tilts during execution.

3.Operation speed (mm/s): Injects a uniform linear travel speed limit straight into the motion parameters.
