Universal Robots (UR) has introduced UR Studio, an online simulation tool built on PolyScope X, UR's most advanced, open and AI-ready software platform.
UR Studio enables customers, partners, and integrators to build 1:1 online simulations of their work cell and simulate every key aspect of their set-up. With UR Studio, users can test robot movements, simulate reach, speed and workflow, and calculate cycle time, making it a simple way to configure an optimized cell, maximizing return on investment before deployment even starts, the company reported.
"It is all about confidence and ease of deployment," said Tero Tolonen, Universal Robots' Chief Product Officer. "Whether you are new to automation or an experienced customer optimizing a complex cell, you want assurance and certainty before making the final decision on your solution. With UR Studio, we now provide an intuitive, easily accessible tool to simulate and visualize the end user set-up and thoroughly test the cell and its capabilities-mapping out details for maximum efficiency and performance."
UR Studio gives users the ability to interact with UR's robot portfolio and various components-such as pallets, machines, and workpieces-and end effectors, including standard grippers often used with UR cobots. Items can be configured to the user's preferences with the option of importing elements to mimic the workspace. This helps ensure the final solution fits within the real-world environment, which results in smoother deployments and faster return on investment. UR Studio also allows for potential issues to be identified early on, reducing downtime and avoiding the risk of costly adjustments.
UR Studio is provided without charge and runs directly on desktop browsers, requiring no installation-users simply log into the UR Studio website to get started. With the intuitive interface, navigation of the simulated environment is easy with pre-made templates for the most common applications, such as machine tending, screwdriving, palletizing, and pick & place, fast-tracking the building and configuration of the virtual work cell. New application templates will be added continuously.
UR Studio is designed to work hand-in-hand with the PolyScope X software platform, which is built to support simulation from the ground up, bridging the gap between concept and operation.
