1 Remember that the direction of the search dictates the direction that the
resulting program displacement can shift a program.
2 You should almost always search perpendicular to the part feature surface.
The search accuracy will suffer if the search direction is at an angle to the
feature surface.
3 For a newly programmed search try executing the search using the forward
button. When the robot stops motion with the torch touching the part, move
the cursor to the SearchPoint and modify the position of the robtarget. This
ensures that a search on a perfect part will return a displacement that is very
close to zero.
