I'm trying to create a custom post for ABB Welding that initiates a ArcLStart for the first point then ARCL instructions ending with an ArcLEnd.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sample code I'm trying to generate above.  Thanks!

Hi Stefanie,

I attached a post that will allow you to have the target data inline with ArcLStart and ArcLEnd.
Let me know if you need any other changes. We'll make this post the default post in future installs.

Hi,
I modifying a post processor for ABB Welding and I wonder, in what order the procedur will be excecuted in my Program module. For example I had on top of the module procedure with movement and operations (subprograms), bottom I have a Proc Main where the top procedure is called. So, that procedure on top will be executed first and then the Main ? How do I know what procedur will be executed first? I need to set something on robot controller or something like that? In attach an example of code.

Hi Piotr,

The robot controller should be able to find the "Main" automatically when you select "PP to Main" on the teach pendant. I don't think it matters where the actual "Main" is.

As I recall the ABB Arcware software uses a /On and /Off argument to start and end welds. they can be added to any move instruction. Calling the arc instruction switches the motion handling over to the arcware parameters as configured in your .proc settings.

im trying to get this issue resolved myself actually.

@Sergei will get in touch with you as we are currently developing an addin specific for welding and we can make sure it fullfills your needs. We can also help you customize your post processor for welding.
