RobotStudio True Offline Programming • “RobotStudio is the easy-to-use, low cost software for visualization and offline programming of ABB robots” • “It is the tool you need to maximize your productivity”
VirtualRobotTM Technology True Offline Programming VirtualRobotTM Technology • VirtualRobot is an exact copy of the S4 controller • Robot programs and configuration parameters can easily be transferred between robots and PC
Build new solutions quickly: Evaluate alternatives Initial feasibility studies Initial cycle-time calculations Visualize solutions: Share a proposed solution with users on all levels Address problem areas at an early stage Include 3D simulationsin quotations Improved comprehension
Risk reduction • Verify new designs quickly: • Check reachability • Avoid collisions • Detect singularity issues • Secure project feasibility and success
Shorter time to market and quicker start-up! Time to market • Start programming before the system is installed: • Motion programming • I/O programming • Enables parallell workflow between you and your sub suppliers • Less capital tied up!
Improved part quality • Exact robot programs • Positions calculated from CAD data • Improved tolerance for deviations between batches • Verified path accuracy through simulation
What can RobotStudio do for me? • How can I improve the comprehension of my quotations? • How can I reduce the riskfor costly mistakes? • How can I reduce cost of programming? • How can I benefit from a quicker start up?
Situation: Contract manufacturer plasma spraying details to make them heat-resistant Online programming had been going on for half a year The customer did not approve the part quality Benefits: Higher part quality With RobotStudio the CAD data was utilized to quickly generate a very accurate program Cut programming time A new program was created with RobotStudio in half a day Reachability RobotStudio showed that the robot could be placed in a better position in relation to the part From six months to six days…
Situation: A system integrator is quoting a robot system Before presenting the offer to the customer a simulation was built in RobotStudio RobotStudio showed that the robot could not reach as required Benefit: Improved comprehension.The realistic simulation prevented a costly mistake System integrator improved comprehension
Situation: Sub-supplier welding big cabins for trucks Required offline programming to minimize disturbance A competitor got the initial order but failed to offline program the station Benefits: Reduced risk the integrator knew they would succeed where the competitor failed Shorten startup-time at customer site Large sub-supplier quicker startup-time The ABB solution was awarded the next order!
Subcontractorcut time-to-market • Situation: • Automotive subcontractor that needed to shorten time-to-market and increase the product quality • Benefits: • Cut time-to-marketby 50% when using RobotStudio for more exact robot programs • Cut programming time 50% programming offlinecompared to online “RobotStudio is very easy to work with and very exact”, says Max Mortensen, Core Process Responsible at Fuel Tech.
Situation: Small company welding and cutting bullet traps for shooting ranges Benefits: Reduced riskRobotStudiocan project the cycle time for each component, so bigger and more complicated projects can be planned. Cut programming time Torsten has become a better robot programmer, he dares to test different solutions in RobotStudio Small company cut programming time “RobotStudiocuts programming time by 50%”, says Torsten Werner, CEO at Comtri.
