TEACHING A CONTINUOUS PATH

A Continuous Path (CP) generates a constant velocity path along which the assembly fluid is
dispensed. Constant velocity is key in ensuring that the bead diameter does not vary. Note that
the closed-loop encoder feedback feature in the Ultra' TT system ensures that constant velocity is
maintained throughout the continuous path.
Use a CP Stop instruction when you want to eliminate the auto-blending capability associated with
CP Mid instructions. This will ensure that the exact position is reached.
Continuous path has several subsets of instructions:
• CP Start Point
• CP Mid Point
• CP Arc Point
•
CP Stop Point
• CP End Point
All CP paths must start with the CP Start instruction and can only end with a CP End instruction.
If this syntax is not followed, then the machine will provide the operator with an error message.
Prior to teaching line instruction, you must set desired line parameters.
Refer to Appendix E for detail explanations of each line parameter.

5.4.1 CP LINE

We will now program the continuous path for Figure D on the template.
Note: "1" = CP Start; "5" = CP End.
1. Tap "Insert" in the Program edit window. Select CP from the
Select Instruction window. Tap "OK". This will open the
Continuous Path window.
2. Tap "Jog" and jog the dispense tip to the 1st point (marked 1).
Tap "OK". From the Point Type
drop-down menu, select Start.
3. Select line type. Tap the "Edit"
button to enter the desired values
for Line Parameters.
