The first work phase at the TWP workstation is laying out the plates UoM minute(s) per plate. After the plates are laid out, the tack welding can begin.
Tack welding time calculation is based on the length of the seam that is being tack welded. Straight and curved seams follow the same rules: one tack weld for every UoM mm (distance between tacks), UoM minute(s) per tack weld, and alignment of the plate UoM minute(s) per tack weld. The last phase is fitting the run-off plates, UoM minute(s) per panel. If needed, you can also configure bypass time in System Settings. Bypass time is the constant time in which the panel is bypassing the work phase without being processed.
