In robotic welding, parts often include repeated or symmetric weld areas
When the weld zones are identical, the parameters, sequence, and strategy remain the same; only their spatial position in the robot cell changes.

A reference welding program is created once on a part of an assembly, then 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 to other similar zones using geometric transformations (symmetry or linear translation).
The system recalculates positions and orientations while preserving:
- weld parameters,
- sequencing,
- torch orientation logic.
Duplicated programs remain editable and independent.
Benefits:
-Reduced manual definition of repeated weld paths
-Improved consistency across identical welds
-Faster programming of part families and variants
-OLP workflow without occupying the robot cell
