The ROBOGUIDE family of process focused software packages allows users to create, program and simulate a robotic workcell in 3-D without the physical need and expense of a prototype workcell setup. Part region and clearance region are displayed on the parts. Support to specify density distribution and deposit efficiency pattern by numerical values. Support to export painted object models to OBJ files. A link attached to robot tool can be specified as a paint target object. The software is designed to be as intuitive as possible, allowing 3D CAD to be imported directly into a cell layout.ĪRC Mate iD.
Additional plug-ins are available for the calculation of reducer lifetimes, motor duties and power consumption, while plug-ins monitoring possible collisions and enforced safety parameters, particularly for collaborative robots, come as standard. The finalised program can then be downloaded to the robot.
The simulations, which can be conducted offline, provide an operator with accurate robot motion and cycle times when designing and verifying a system. It allows operators to design, test and modify robotic systems through the use of a fully-simulated, 3D, CAD environment. It is suitable for both new, and experienced, robot users, and has several advanced features, including: a more intuitive user interface, the most up-to-date virtual controllers, and a drag-and-drop function for the addition of robots and components within a work cell layout.
