Generate Code
Welds that have been successfully planned with the Plan dialog are able to be converted into a program for the cell’s robot using the Generate Code button found in the ribbon menu.
This button will only be enabled if a valid license has been applied to Weld by logging into your Verbotics Account. Demo versions of the Verbotics Weld software won’t have this feature enabled.
Clicking the Generate Code button will load a window containing options for generating and exporting code.
Code Generators
In Verbotics Weld, a code generator refers to a file used by Verbotics to convert weld programs from the format used by Verbotics into the format required for a given robot to run the program.
Verbotics has built-in generators for all supported robot makes. A list of these makes can be found here.
In addition to built-in generators, Verbotics may provide you with Custom code generators should your cell require it. Should your cell require a custom format for your robot, Verbotics can provide consultancy services by contacting us here.
If a Verbotics employee or integrator provides you with a custom code generator, this can be added to Verbotics by navigating to Preferences->Generators->Open Generator Directory
. This will open the generator directory in your file browser, where you can place the provided custom code generator.

Generator Preferences
The code generator for your robot can then be swapped to a custom generator by opening a project you wish to generate code for, then navigating to Project Settings->Program->Program
and then selecting the custom generator from the drop-down box at the top of the project settings menu. This drop-down box will list all code generators currently available to use.

Selecting Generator for Current Program
Note
If your project uses multiple robots, you will need to apply the new generator to the program settings for each robot individually.
