Strategic Offline Robot Programming Partnership Announced



OCTOPUZ Inc. will now offer its Offline Robot Programming (OLRP) software through an enhanced partnership with RobotWorx, a robotics solutions integrator that focuses on quality industrial robotic solutions and customized integration. The new collaboration will allow OCTOPUZ to directly support and enable the expansion of RobotWorx service offerings into Offline Robot Programming. "While traditional robot programming requires downtime and manual manipulation of a teach pendant, OCTOPUZ enables path-sensitive, complex robot applications to be programmed without disruption to the manufacturing process," said a spokesperson.

How it Works

Users create detailed virtual simulations of their real-world robot cells, complete with machinery and manufacturing components, in minutes. Within this virtual cell, OCTOPUZ uses built-in machine logic to automatically identify the optimal toolpath trajectory and program the required code for a multitude of industrial tasks. The code is then accurately converted to the robot brand's unique language for use in the real world.

"OCTOPUZ removes the traditional limitations of robot automation by enabling robot programming to be completed virtually, on a computer, while the robots are still online and working for you," said the spokesperson.

Maximize Robot ROI

RobotWorx provides this new solution to its existing and new customers with several benefits:

  • An intuitive, user-friendly software interface enables non-experts to program complex robot applications. Program through import from CAD or CAM software or natively in OCTOPUZ.
  • Automatically detect and avoid errors including singularities, joint limits, reach limits and collisions
  • Validate robotic processes through simulation
  • Program and post multi-robot cells
  • Single platform for all robot brands
  • Support for all robot manufacturing processes
  • Reprogram new robot functions in hours rather than days, without ever taking the robot offline.
