[Evaluation] commonly used robot offline programming software technology

Let me talk about robot programming first. Generally speaking, robot programming can be divided into teaching online programming and offline programming. Teaching programming is generally used for entry-level applications, such as handling, spot welding, etc. For complex applications, teaching programming has the following problems in practical applications:

1. Teaching online programming process is cumbersome and inefficient.

2, the accuracy is completely determined by the visual inspection of the teacher, and it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results for the complicated path teaching online programming.

Based on the drawbacks of teaching programming, offline programming will appear! Compared with teaching programming, offline programming has the following advantages:

1. Reduce the downtime of the robot. When programming the next task, the robot can still work on the production line.

2, through the simulation function, to predict the problem, so as to eliminate the problem in the bud.

3, a wide range of applications, can be programmed for a variety of robots, and can easily achieve optimal programming.

4. Program complex tasks.

5. Easy to modify the robot program.

Common offline programming software can be classified according to different standards. For example, it can be classified according to domestic and foreign countries, or can be used as general offline programming software and factory-specific offline programming software.

Classified by domestic and foreign, it can be the following two camps:

Domestic: RobotArt

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

According to universal offline programming and factory-specific offline programming, it can be used for the following two camps:

General: RobotArt, RobotMaster, Robomove, RobotCAD, DELMIA

Factory specific: RobotStudio, RoboGuide, KUKASim

Domestic RobotArt is the leader, and it is 4-5 years ahead of domestic counterparts. The official website has free downloads and requires the official website to register for trial accounts.

Among foreign software, RobotMaster is relatively strong. Based on MasterCAM platform, it is an advantage to generate CNC machining trajectory. RobotWorks, RoboMove is second, but a set of hundreds of thousands of oceans is not used. RobotCAD, DElMIA are focused on simulation, the price is more expensive than the former, or search * solution.

The offline programming software of the robot manufacturer is strong with ABB's RobotStudio, but it is only put the teaching in the computer, focusing on simulation and beat statistics.

Below, a detailed comparison of each offline programming software.

1.RoboArt (China, free to download trial)

RobotArt is from Beijing, the capital of Aerospace, and is the top software in the domestic brand of offline programming software. The biggest feature of the software is that it automatically generates machining trajectories according to the shape of the parts in the virtual scene, and can control most mainstream robots. It is quite awesome for domestic robot support! The software generates the robot motion trajectory according to the topological information of the geometric model, and then the trajectory simulation, the path optimization, and the post code are all in one go. At the same time, the collision detection, the scene rendering and the animation output are integrated, and the realistic simulation animation can be quickly generated. Widely used in grinding, deburring, welding, laser cutting, CNC machining and other fields.

The following picture shows the interface of RobotArt offline programming simulation software:

advantage:

1) Support 3D CAD models in multiple formats, and import extensions such as step, igs, stl, x_t, prt (UG), prt (ProE), CATPart, sldpart, etc.
