An ideal way to test your job and part weld quality is a function known as “Weld in Teach”. Not only will this function test the path of your job, but will engage a live arc based on your job’s weld parameters.
While in teach, you can engage {TEST START}. This function will allow you to run forward through a job to viewing the taught path of the robot. By default, this will not engage the arc of the welding equipment.
When you Test Start your job, a live arc will weld the part as taught by the user. The robot will continue to move at reduced air-cut speed based on the Functional Safety Unit (FSU) settings.
Make sure to use proper Personal Protection Equipment and safety practices when working around a live welding arc and moving robot.
