Abstract
A method of programming multiple weld passes in a collaborative robot welding system to perform multi-pass welding is provided. A root pass is programmed for a first weld seam by manually positioning a welding torch and automatically recording root pass position and angle data. Secondary passes for the first weld seam are also programmed. The tip of the welding torch is positioned at a start point and a stop point for each secondary pass. The start and stop position data of the start point and the stop point are automatically recorded for each secondary pass. Numerical position and angle offset data are automatically calculated. The root pass position and angle data and the offset data are stored as a multi-pass template. The template is translated and applied to a weld reference frame of a second weld seam to aid in programming secondary passes for the second weld seam.
