Flow Of Operations; Operation Steps - Mitsubishi CR750-Q Series Instruction Manual

3. Flow of Operations

This chapter explains the flow of operations involved in starting up a system using MELFA-Works, up to
operating a robot in its actual environment. The specific operations that can be carried out in each dialog
box/window are explained in the subsequent chapters; refer to the corresponding chapter for further details.
3.1.

Operation Steps

Several operations are involved in constructing a system using MELFA-Works. They can largely be divided
into the following 4 steps.

Using "SolidWorks"

Using "MELFA-Works"

Using "calibration tool"

Using "RT ToolBox2"
Table 3-1 Operation Steps
Create workpieces, hands and other parts in SolidWorks
and convert other CAD data to mark for MELFA-Works.
In MELFA-Works the coordinate system are used as marks
for SolidWorks functions. (Chapter 4.2 Part Names and
Marking)
Use MELFA-Works to specify processing locations,
intermediate postures and various parameters to eventually
create template robot programs, dot sequence data and
calibration programs.
Use the calibration tool to calibrate dot sequence data to
processing positions of workpieces in the actual space.
Download the calibrated dot sequence data to a robot
controller.
Use RT ToolBox2 to create programs that are operable in
actual systems based on the template programs created in

step . Debug the created operational programs.
