Software Roboguide

ROBOGUIDE is a robot system animation tool specifically developed for the production and maintenance of robot systems. It can be used both in offices and on the factory floor.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

CELL CALIBRATION AND USER FRAME
ROBOGUIDE automatically creates reference programs in order to calibrate the simulation to the real robot system. Three taught robot positions allow adjusting the entire process.

COLLISION DETECTION
Collision detection feature to get a visual warning in case of collisions during the robot simulation

EASY PROGRAMMING OF STANDARD
SOFTWARE TOOLS
Application software packages can be selected and configured with ROBOGUIDE. This reduces system cost and drastic accelerates system start up.µ

EASY TO USE POWERFUL OFFLINE PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
ROBOGUIDE allows powerful programming with an intuitive and easy-to-use interface
• Cell Layout and Cycle Time can be tested Offline
· Virtual controller technology for true cycle times and reach
· All robot models can be simulated. ArcTool, SpotTool and HandlingTool application software can be selected and configured.
· Easy to use with Virtual Teach Pendant (Same menus & displays as the real robot)
• Offline Programming speeds system integration and reduces system cost
· Cycle time profiler, collision detection & work envelop display
· Motion trace displayed as node map; AVI video file output
· Import of work pieces, tools, fixtures and obstacles in IGES format

GRAPHICAL AND VIDEO DISPLAY OF ROBOT PROGRAMS
• Motion trace displayed during testing
• AVI video file output possible
• Graphical output of results for quick documentation and decision making

IMPORT OF CAD DATA IN IGES FORMAT
Imported formats help build system layouts and evaluate system operation quickly and comprehensively.

PROFILER FUNCTION
The teach pendant program profiler analyses the timing of each program line in order to achieve best cycle times.

VIRTUAL TEACH PENDANT
• Easy to use with same menus & displays as the real robot
• No special training necessary

OPTION PACKAGE: CHAMFERING PRO FOR INTELLIGENT DEBURRING
Automated robotic deburring with the Intelligent Deburring Package is done in 3 easy steps
1. STEP 1: Click the lines to be deburred on the 3D CAD data of the parts displayed on the ROBOGUIDE screen to generate the robot deburring programs automatically.
2. STEP 2: Simulate and check the automatically generated deburring programs on the ROBOGUIDE screen.
3. STEP 3: Using the 3D laser vision sensor (V-500iA/3DL), the intelligent robot recognises the position of the parts delivered to the cell and executes deburring by fitting the program generated in ROBOGUIDE with the actual parts.

The use of intelligent robots enables the automatic generation of deburring programs and the elimination of positioning fixtures. The result is simple and low cost deburring cells that can adapt easily to part changes.
