PC-based RobotStudio Machine Tending PowerPac and new controller-based RobotWare Machine Tending software allow for simulation, validation and optimization to be completed in the 3D virtual world and then transferred directly to the real world. Cycle times, post processing capabilities and potential risks for collisions can be simulated virtually before mistakes are made on the factory floor. The interface is designed so that less-skilled personnel can control most common tasks, but the software provides unlimited access to powerful Rapid coding tools for advanced users.
