Offline Programming of an ABB Robot Using Imported CAD Models in the RobotStudio Software Environment

Abstract:

Current trend in automation area is focused to the innovation in all fields of the technologies and technological devices. Probably industrial robots and manipulators belong to development too. Industrial robots and manipulators belong to progressive elements of automation. Modern concept uses the offline programming as a tools integration of the virtual CAD models into programming environment. Offline programming carries a lot of advantages for example possibility of the programming without real robot system, possibility of the collision state debugging. Implementation of CAD models in virtual environment of Robot studio achieves better workplace station of creating robotic system and also it generates rather trajectories of the robot path in this system.
