Commonly used robot off-line programming software technology

　　First said the robot programming. Generally speaking, the robot programming can be divided into both online and offline programming programming teaching. Teach programming is commonly used in entry-level applications, such as handling, spot welding, for complex applications, teaching programming in practice mainly exist the following problems:

　　

　　1, teaching online programming process trival, efficiency is low.

　　

　　2, the accuracy is determined by teaching of visual, and for complex path teaching online programming is difficult to obtain satisfactory effect.

　　

　　Based on the disadvantages of teaching programming appears, then offline programming appears! Compared with the teaching programming, off-line programming has the following advantages:

　　

　　1, to reduce the downtime of robot, when the next task programming, robot can still work on the production line.

　　

　　2, through the simulation function, to predict the occurrence of problem, so as to eliminate the problems in the bud stage.

　　

　　3, wide applicable scope, but for a variety of robot programming, programming and can be convenient to realize optimization.

　　

　　4, to be programmed for complex tasks.

　　

　　5, easy to modify the robot program.

　　

　　Commonly used off-line programming software, can be classified by different criteria, for example, can be classified according to the domestic and foreign, can also according to the universal off-line programming software and factory special off-line programming software.

　　

　　According to the domestic and foreign classification, can for the following two camps:

　　

　　Domestic: RobotArt

　　

　　Abroad: RobotMaster, RobotWorks, Robomove, RobotCAD, DELMIA, RobotStudio, RoboGuide

　　

　　According to the general off-line programming and manufacturer for off-line programming, and for the following two camps:

　　

　　General: RobotArt, RobotMaster, Robomove, RobotCAD, DELMIA

　　

　　Factory dedicated: RobotStudio, RoboGuide, KUKASim

　　

　　Domestic RobotArt, leading domestic counterparts 4-5 years, have free download website, need website registration trial accounts.

　　

　　RobotMaster relatively the strongest foreign software, based on the MasterCAM platform, generate nc machining path is an advantage, RobotWorks, RoboMove followed, but a set of hundreds of thousands of ocean, now not to try. RobotCAD DElMIA are focused on the simulation, the price is expensive than the former, or search * solution version.

　　

　　Robot off-line programming software of manufacturer, with ABB RobotStudio is strong, but also just put the teaching in the computer, pay attention to is the simulation and the beat.

　　

　　Here, the off-line programming software, make detailed contrast.

　　

　　1. RobotArt (China, can free download the trial)

　　

　　RobotArt from royal park, Beijing aerospace background, is currently the off-line programming software in the domestic brand of top software. Software is the biggest characteristic is according to the shape of parts in virtual scene, automatically generating process track, and can control the most mainstream robot, support for domestic robots are quite pops the dalai! Software based on the geometric topology information of d/a robot is generated, then the same trajectory simulation, path optimization, post code, at the same time collision detection, scene rendering, animation and output at an organic whole, can quickly generate lifelike simulation animation effect. Widely used in grinding, deburring, welding, laser cutting, CNC processing, etc.

　　

　　RobotArt off-line programming simulation software interface is illustrated below:

　　

　　Advantages:

　　

　　1) support multiple formats of 3 d CAD model, can be introduced into extension step, igs and STL, x_t, PRT (UG), PRT (ProE), CATPart, sldpart format;

　　

　　2) support for a variety of brands of industrial robot off-line programming operation, such as ABB, KUKA, Fanuc, Yaskawa, Staubli, KEBA series, wide, when the new number, etc.);

　　

　　3) have a large number of high-end application experience of aeronautics and astronautics;

　　

　　4) automatic identification and search the CAD model of point, line, face information generated trajectory;

　　

　　5) locus associated with CAD model characteristics, model movement or deformation, trajectory automatically change;

　　

　　6) a key optimal trajectory and geometry level of collision detection;

　　

　　7) supports a variety of technology package, such as cutting, welding, spraying, deburring, nc machining;

　　

　　8) to support the entire station simulation animation published to the web, mobile terminal;

　　

　　Disadvantages:

　　

　　Software for small foreign brands robot also does not support, but as a robot off-line programming, or rather to force, function is not lost to foreign software.
