Abstract
Disclosed example methods to generate a robotic welding program involve: generating a robotic welding program to weld a part using a collaborative robot welding system by manually manipulating the collaborative robot welding system to generate commands and robotic positioning information; automatically converting, using a processor, a first plurality of instructions of the robotic welding program for execution on the collaborative robot welding system to a second plurality of instructions to execute the robotic welding program on a non-collaborative type of robotic welding system; and performing the robotic welding program using the non-collaborative type of robotic welding system to weld the part using the second plurality of instructions.
