Creating a Position

In the Configuration mode, on the Tightening Positions page, in the Tightening Positions list select an existing workpiece or group/level. Then, at the upper-left corner, select the Add Position button.
Position pop-up window opens.

In the Position tab, enter and select the position parameters:

• ID: enters the unique identifier string of the position.
  All IDs must be globally unique, so that no other group or position may have the same ID.

• X / Y / Z: enters the physical location of the tightening position. This location is normally reused also to enable and to disable volumes and to calculate the image position in the workpiece view.

• P-Set: enters the tightening parameter set, which is selected for this position.

• Disabled:

• Tools: assigns the necessary tool to the Position. No tools means all tools.

In the Volume tab, enter and select the volume parameters:

Each tightening position has a tolerance that let the tool operate within a so-called Enabling Volume area. A separate tolerance, called Disabling Volume area, is used to no longer allow the tool to operate.

• Enabling Volume parameters: enable the tightening tool within the specified position.

• Disabling Volume parameters: in addition to the Enabling Volume parameters, it is possible to give an upscale volume of the Enabling Volume parameters through the Disabling Volume parameters.

For more information about volumes, see the paragraph Volume Types.

In the Bolt tab, define the image position and bolt display radius in the image.
If these parameters are not specified, the image location is calculated from the workpiece transformation; besides, the radius is 10 by default.

In the Advanced tab, enter and select the advanced parameters:

• Reject Management

  • Retries: selects how many retries are allowed for tightening positions

  • Bypass a NOK: selects if a tightening position can be bypassed.

• Coordinate System

  • Use absolute coordinate: mostly used for home position of tool. If needed, select to refer to a Cartesian System that uses x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis to establish a point some distance from a common origin.

  • Geometry Condition: the geometry condition identifier enables conditional segments in the geometry. Geometry conditions assigned in an individual position requires that the group containing this position is configured in a forced tightening order.

  • Position No.: if configured, sends back to the tightening controller.

At the lower-right corner of the Position pop-up window, select Save.

Repeat the Creating a Position - Manual Creation of the Tightening Positions procedure as many times as many tightening positions are needed.

In the Configuration mode, on the Tightening Positions page, teach the tightening positions of the new workpiece model - for more information, see the paragraph Teaching New Workpieces.

Make sure that a new group is automatically created. The taught tightening positions are into the created group.

Copy the taught tightening positions into the necessary existing workpiece. Then, delete

Delete the new group that was automatically created and contained the taught tightening positions.

If needed, edit the parameters of the tightening positions.

In the Configuration mode, on the Tightening Positions page, teach the tightening positions of the new workpiece model - for more information, see the paragraph Teaching New Workpieces.

Edit the parameters of the group to let it be a workpiece model.

In the Configuration mode, on the Tightening Positions page, in the Tightening Positions list select an existing workpiece or group/level. Then, at the upper-left corner, select the Add Position button.
Position pop-up window opens.

Edit all the parameters of the tightening positions, but do not enter the coordinates X / Y / Z.

Repeat the Creating a Position - Creating and Reteaching procedure as many times as many tightening positions are needed.

Reteach all the tightening positions - for more information, see the paragraph Reteaching Single Positions.

Reteaching a single position is not a process, it is a one-time action, so it must not be finished specifically.
