摘要： A torch for use by a robot. The torch has a body that can be connected to an arm of the robot. A first actuator on the body can be activated by a user to initiate a recording cycle at a starting point of a desired welding or cutting path and to terminate the recording cycle at an ending point of the path. A second actuator on the body can be activated by the user to indicate way points from the starting point to the ending point as the user moves the torch along the path. The first actuator sends first information to a robot controller, operatively connected to and located remotely from the robot, to initiate and to terminate the recording cycle at the controller. The second actuator device sends the way points as second information to the controller to be recorded at the controller during the recording cycle.
