Robotmaster is an off-line programming software that provides quick and easy programming tools for welding and cutting. "Robot programmers can reduce weld programming time and effort by adopting Robotmaster while maximizing a rapid return on investment," said a company spokesperson.
Robotmaster seamlessly integrates robotic off-line CAD/CAM based robot programming, simulation and optimization. Common robot programming challenges typically require intricate user intervention or costly manual editing for producing error-free programs. Robotmaster provides innovative tools to optimize robot programs producing error-free robot paths, avoiding singularity zones and collisions, working around joint and reach limitations, and optimizing tool orientations along the entire trajectory. Furthermore, Robotmaster is suited to program robots for such tasks as trimming, de-burring, polishing, welding, dispensing, grinding, spraying, painting and 3D machining, while supporting most industrial robot brands.
With Robotmaster, simple to complex welds can easily be programmed using "one-click" seam programming. Automated strategies for entry/exit, corner settings, push/pull angle and stitching in addition to full manual control provide quick programming.
The integration of parameters specific to the user's process (i.e. welding) is simplified by parameter screens. These user modifiable screens define the interface, terminology and control settings unique to the application.
Welding parameters can easily be controlled with customizable screens for basic arc welding, multi-passes, seam tracking, weaving and touch sensing. Full control of all settings is possible for the entire program, a specific seam and point-by-point interaction.
A summary of Robotmaster features includes:
- Easy programming of simple to complex welds with full control of all welding parameters
- Quick programming ideal for high-mix low-batch type manufacturing with an interactive and dynamic programming environment
- Welding programs can be generated automatically from the CAD model and subsequently modified with minimal effort to adjust for optimal welds
- Automatically manage work angle and gun angle for optimal welding
- Gun orientations can be managed automatically to optimize the program for minimal wrist rotation and to maximize robot reach
- Advanced programming tools for rails and rotary positioners to effortlessly exploit the flexibility and added capacity/workspace offered by external axes
- Optimized welding paths that are free of robot singularity, collision, joint and reach limit issues
- A unique and intuitive "click-and-drag" simulation environment for workspace analysis and fine-tuning of weld paths and transitions.
"With Robotmaster, users can generate more profit with their robot by generating programs off-line and eliminating lost production time during programming," said a company spokesperson. "Robotics programming software reduces programming time from hours to minutes by generating robot control code directly from CAD/CAM tools. As a result, manufacturers can easily and efficiently program robots to produce higher quality products at lower cost, and achieve the speed and flexibility they need to challenge the competition."
