Abstract

A method of programming a curved path for a welding robot includes recording input of a first arc segment endpoint, a first intermediate point, and a second arc segment endpoint along the curved path. The first intermediate point is located between the first and second arc segment endpoints. The curved path is determined from the first and second arc segment endpoints and the first intermediate point. Input of a third arc segment endpoint is recorded. A distance of the third arc segment endpoint to the curved path is determined and compared to a threshold distance. A second intermediate point along the curved path between the second and third arc segment endpoints is automatically interpolated when the distance is less than the threshold distance. The first, second and third arc segment endpoints, and the first and second intermediate points are communicated to a robot controller to program movements of the welding robot.
