RobotStudio: Robot Simulation, Programming & Machining Process Verification Softwares
RobotStudio is software used for robot simulation, programming and machining process verification. It allows users to virtually create, program and simulate a manufacturing robot cell in 3D without the physical hardware.
What is RobotStudio?
RobotStudio is a software application developed by ABB for the design and configuration of robotic workcells. It enables users to virtually create, program, and simulate robots and manufacturing processes in a 3D environment without requiring access to physical hardware.
Some key features of RobotStudio include:
- Modeling and visualization - Build detailed 3D models of robots, grippers, fixtures, and the full workcell layout. Simulate and visualize robot behavior and movements.
- Offline programming - Graphically program robot motions and actions using RAPID code. Simulate and debug programs without production downtime.
- Digital twin - Create a virtual representation of the physical workcells to enable remote monitoring, information analysis, and optimization.
- Robot calibration - Virtually calibrate robots to reduce commissioning time.
- Collision detection - Identify and visualize potential collisions between robots, peripherals, parts and tooling.
- Machining simulation - Verify CNC program execution including animations of the machining process.
- Safety zoning - Define zones in the cell and visualize safeguarded space requirements.
- Simulation reports - Automatically generate detailed information on cycle times, program structure, reach studies and more.
RobotStudio connects to a variety of ABB robot controllers and can exchange data bidirectionally. It helps optimize robotic cells during every phase of the life cycle from initial design through overhaul and updates.
