Abstract
A method for setting a tool-based working condition in off-line teaching makes it possible to automatically set an optimum tool-based working condition while referring to specifications of a tool and workpiece-based working conditions so that reduced operation time required for the off-line teaching is efficiently realize. The method comprises steps of designating a welding point on CAD data of a workpiece; a step of retrieving one or more part codes concerning the welding point; a step of obtaining a combination of attribute codes necessary for the welding concerning the retrieved one or more part codes; a step of deciding a workpiece-based working condition on the basis of the obtained combination of attribute codes; a step of judging whether or not the decided workpiece-based working condition is included in specified specifications of a tool; and a step of retrieving a tool-based working condition suitable for the workpiece-based working condition from the specifications of the tool if the workpiece-based working condition is included in the specifications of the tool, so that teaching data is reflected thereby.
