Spray Tool

Spray tool creation in the tool editor:

Nozzle diameter – Diameter of spray nozzle

Distance to part – Distance between nozzle and part

X pattern value – width of spray pattern in x direction

Y pattern value – width of spray pattern in y direction

Max effective distance – maximum distance from part where spray can effectively be applied

Spray rate – rate of material (paint or other) deposit

Spray color – Color of simulated spray cone and sprayed surfaces

Accumulation target value – Ideal thickness of spray accumulation on part

Simulation Mode

Occlusion

When activated, occlusion precents the simulated spray from going through bodies. If an obstacle is covering the workpiece surface, that section will not be sprayed.

Simulation Accuracy

Sets the desired simulation accuracy. Sliding the bar fully to the left will give the coarsest and fastest accumulation results. Sliding the bar fully to the right will give the finest results but take much more calculation time.

Show Mesh

Toggles whether the spray mesh is visible. The spray mesh directly effects the spray simulation accuracy.

Triangle Size

The size of the spray mesh triangles (in mm). The smaller the triangle size, the higher the spray simulation accuracy.

Refinement Margin

Defines how far to extend the mesh refinement (in mm) from the spray paths.

Refine Mesh

Applies changes made to Triangle size and Refinement margin

Clear Paint

Removes the visualization of the spray on surfaces. This is useful if you wish to play the robot simulation multiple times, as the paint does not automatically clear when a simulation is restarted.
