WeldPro Offline Robot Programming

Course Duration
The duration is 2 days
Frequency of course taught on an as-requested basis
Course Description
WeldPro is FANUC Robotics plug-in to the RoboGuide
off-line programming tool, allowing users to simulate a
robotic arc welding process in 3-D space. Driven
exclusively by a FANUC Robotics Virtual Robot Controller,
WeldPro is empowered with the most accurate program
teaching tools and cycle time information available in any
simulation package.
A user can easily navigate through WeldPro to create
complete workcells by importing actual tooling and
workpiece CAD files. Anyone familiar with programming a
FANUC robot will be able to easily create new weld paths
with proper torch angles and process parameters. All
programs and settings from the virtual workcell can be
transferred to the real robot to decrease installation time.
Prerequisites
The person attending must have completed the Lincoln
Automation Basic Robotic Programming and System
Training Course.

James F. Lincoln Foundation

JFLF Overview
The James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation is a
non-profit, welding education organization founded in
1936 to promote welding as a better method of joining
metals and to promote welding as a career choice. Today
numerous low cost welding educational textbooks,
videos, DVDs, teaching aids and no cost periodicals and
technical papers are available through the Foundation.
In addition, the JFLF awards over $45,000 in cash and
prizes each year to the winners of its welding design project contests, as well as the state and national SkillsUSA
welding competition winners. See their website,
www.jflf.org for details on specific contest rules,
regulations and application forms.

The Arc Welding Bookshelf

The James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation was
created through a deed of trust to encourage and
stimulate scientific interest in and scientific study,
research and education in respect of the development
of the arc welding industry through advance in the
knowledge and design and practical application of the
arc welding process. As a contribution to scientific
progress and to promote industrial progress through
education, the Foundation produces and publishes books
and other educational materials as a non-profit service to
the industry.

14th Edition
Published by The James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation
With over 500,000 copies of previous editions published since 1933, the Procedure Handbook is
considered by many to be the Bible of the arc welding industry. The hardbound book contains
over 750 pages of welding information, techniques, procedures, photographs, drawings and charts.
Much of this material has never been included in any other book. A must for all welders,
supervisors, engineers and designers. Many welding instructors will want to use the book as
a reference for all students.
