How to use robot as a operator/processor in welding process?

Hi
Is it possible, to use robot as a automatic welding robot in process?
I need to create a welding process wherein robot arm is carries out the welding process (the worker delivers the welded detail to the rotary table, and the robot performs the welding process. Then the worker removes the finished product and places it on the pallet)

I would be grateful for hints or sample models.

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.2.0

Do it this way:

You occupy the robot (regular Acquire) and bounce its time (tact); during this time the robot is busy and you reflect the time of this busyness - Delay with state; then the robot releases (Release) and so on. How much you want to play with the welding animation is also possible but time consuming.

Zrób tak:

Zajmujesz robota (zwykły Acquire) i odbijasz mu czas (takt); w tym czasie robot jest zajety i odbijasz mu czas tej zajętości - Delay z podaniem stanu; potem robota uwalnia (Release) i tak w kółko. Jak bardzo chcesz się bawić w animację spawania też jest to możliwe ale czasochłonne.

OK. Thanks for the answer, I will try to do as you wrote.

The animation is also needed in the project :')

For that create motion paths and trigger them by issuing travel relative/travel to loc tasks with a negative end speed (used as the path rank). Often you don't need to acquire and release the robot by way of a process flow - issuing a tasksequence can be enough to secure the robot for the operation, since it can only process once sequence at a time if there are no break tasks or preemption.
