Programming robotic Weld Algorithms

In this video, I demonstrate a few programs I wrote for robotic welding. The programs use just a few waypoints and can draw different welding patterns. I got this idea after watching many Smooth Tool videos and wondering how they made it so easy. I decided to try it for myself and this is what I came up with. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below. Thanks for watching!

This is how I wanted to spend my morning, love these videos keep it up

Great video! is there any chance you can upload the programs to be downloaded and edited without rebuilding from the start?

Hi Josh,
Thx for your interesting videos. When you set up the UR on the lathe you used a swivel base. Can you point me to the manufacturer of these bases, since i couldn't find anything.

Sure, I actually designed and build those myself. It would be diy but I have drawings I would be willing to share.

Hi Josh,
I am trying to replicate your setup but I keep encountering a compile error, "Compile error: name 'start' is not defined" or in the case of trying to run the stitch pattern it returns the error for 'Waypoint_2'. Did you encounter an error like this while programming and can you advise on how to resolve?

[@joshuayoungers]

I don't think I ran into errors like that. And you have the moveJ section after a halt? Maybe remove start from the three below and making the moveL start definitely defined?
