Suite of Tools for Optimizing Robotic Toolpaths



OCTOPUZ Inc. will introduce OCTOPUZ 2.1 at Automate 2019, taking place April 8-11 at McCormick Place in Chicago. OCTOPUZ provides intelligent offline programming and simulation solutions that are suitable for a wide range of industrial robots including KUKA, FANUC, ABB and Yaskawa Motoman.

OCTOPUZ 2.1 offers a simplified approach to solving toolpath trajectories. The new OCTOPUZ PathFinder suite of tools automatically identifies and solves limits and errors within the program. "Those visiting the OCTOPUZ booth at Automate 2019 will be able to see how these features work and the simplicity of programming complex paths within OCTOPUZ 2.1," said a company spokesperson. "OCTOPUZ 2.1 defies the common misconception that OLP is complicated by making complex path creation simple. With PathFinder, users will be able to achieve a desired path based on OCTOPUZ path intelligence and/or manual user input, resulting in more efficient programming."

PathFinder is comprised of seven tools, with two of the key tools being PathAnalyzer and PathSolver.

PathAnalyzer will automatically review original toolpaths while detecting and identifying collisions joint limits, reach limits and singularities. Using the generated report, users can self-resolve issues or allow OCTOPUZ to automatically solve on behalf of the user. PathSolver will leverage the PathAnalyzer tool to identify limitations and systematically resolve errors and present the ideal toolpath to the user. Once the process is completed, the new toolpath can be accepted and is ready to be uploaded to the robot.

In addition to the two key tools, PathFinder also includes additional tools designed for Auto Configurations on CAM Import, Error Visualization, Targeted Error Resolution, Foundational Reference Point Assignment and Simplified External Axis Configuration.

"With the release of OCTOPUZ 2.1, PathFinder users can now import CAM paths, and with a click of a button, generate a robot path that is clear of limitations and singularities. By leaving the complicated aspect of OLP to OCTOPUZ, users can spend more time manufacturing and less time programming," said the spokesperson.
