Jigless System
3.1
Outline
A jigless system is a system that welds by coordinating two manipulators; one holding the
workpiece while the other holds the torch.
To coordinate the movements of the two manipulators, a coordinated job is needed.
In a coordinated job, there is a coordinated operation where two manipulators, master and
slave, perform a reciprocal movement, and an individual operation where each of the two
manipulators performs an independent movement.
A move instruction in coordinated jobs displays two lines. The first line is for the slave side
(torch); the second line is for the master side (workpiece).
