In this exercise, you will learn how to teach Air Moves using the Beacon Welding software.

Once you have completed this exercise, learn how to create a playlist in Exercise 7

Understanding automatic approach/departure points

0:00

nice feature of the high robotics Cobalt

0:02

welder is that we actually build in

0:04

approach points and depart points for

0:06

you but if there are instances where

When to use air moves for collision avoidance

0:08

you're going to collide with a part or a

0:10

clamp or a fixture you can add air moves

0:13

to go around that before you start

Selecting "Teach Air Moves" feature

0:15

welding so let's set up some air moves

0:22

so I select that second icon there

0:25

it says teach air moves and we're going

Programming air moves like standard weld points

0:27

to teach these the same way we would any

0:29

of those other weld points we taught

0:32

so

0:34

let's grab the puck here

Creating vertical clearance move to avoid obstacles

0:36

that green button and then we're going

0:38

to come straight up first to go around

0:40

an obstruction I'll click that blue

0:42

button

Chaining multiple air moves for complex navigation

0:43

you can add as many of these in a row as

0:46

you want so I'll do three before we go

0:49

down to the part here

Integrating air moves with linear weld programming

0:51

and then let's set up that first linear

0:53

weld

1:02

all right and then we'll hit save

Running collision-free weld sequence

1:08

and then hit play

1:10

and so before it goes to do that linear

Watching automated obstacle avoidance in action

1:12

weld you're going to see it do that

1:14

sequence of air moves to avoid the

1:16

obstruction
