[Technology Preview] NC Information for ZEMAN® Robotics Machines
ProStructures can now extract NC information for ZEMAN® Robotics machines. The new ZEMAN® XML functionality converts group data from the ProStructures to XML format. This XML describes Information such as Length, Weight, Position number of groups etc. as well as location and rotation of subparts attached as references to main part.
A new ZEMAN® Assembler Output type is added to the NC Data - General tab. To access the option, you must first create the configuration variable PS_ENABLE_ZEMANASSEMBLER and set its value to 1.
Also added, a new configuration variable PS_ZEMANASSEMBLER_SHOWSUBPARTAXIS enables the creation of ACS symbols containing the X, Y & Z main part and subpart directions used to create the XML files for Zeman.
ZEMAN® is a machine manufacturer for structural steel. They have separate XML format for creation of assemblies specially welded assemblies. The ZEMAN® XML utility added to NC-DSTV engine provides user of having Zeman Steel Beam Assembler with high-precision welding robots to automat manufacturing process. It is used to generate xml files and set of NC files for ZEMAN® robotic assembler. It gives any group data consisting various subparts from the ProStructures in form of XML format. This XML describes simple Information such as Length, Weight, Position number of groups etc. as well as it provides location and rotation of subparts attached with reference to main part.
This utility provides combined result of NC+XML for Beam Group or Column Group from ProStructures at single place, from where it can be read by the SBA (Steel Beam Assembler) and perform operation of attaching sub parts of Beam/Column to the main part of the groups.
- XML file (for the selected groups)
- NC file (All NC file required and correspondent to XML file)
