Programming robots to perform welding processes is challenging in terms of the requirements for the availability of robotic cells to perform initial tests. In this context, a time and material saving solution is offered by offline programming of robots. The paper presents the possibility of offline programming of welding robots, in particular the programming of a Fanuc robot type ArcMate 100iC, by means of the software solution called "Roboguide". The necessary programming steps will be presented in order to realize the necessary path for circular corner welding of pipe-to-plate components using the "Roboguide" software.
