Question

About robot route plan

Hello,

I have a question about creo toolkit.

I want to draw the trajectory path in the creo environment in the completed CAD file.

Do I have a way to output the drawn trajectory path lines as point data or other file types that can be read by the robot ?

According to the figure below, I want to draw the welding trajectory path on the asterisk surface. How can I use the toolkit to draw and output point data?

Using toolkit :

  • ProXsecGeometryCollect
  • ProSurfaceContourVisit
  • ProContourEdgeVisit
  • ProEdgeTesselationGet

 

IMHO, writing code is an overkill. IGES data out of X-section curve should be sufficient to program a robot, another option to make a drawing and output DXF. Another option is to use a curve driven pattern for a datum point and output patterned points  to measure.dat file with Measure tool,  and another option is to use manufacturing app to make a trajectory cutter path and use the resulting CLS file. 

HIH.
