Intuitive Robotic Offline Programming

Visual Components recently highlighted its decades of software development, advanced 3D simulation expertise, and robotic offline programming (OLP) software with a robotic welding cell demonstration that showed manufacturers how to reduce robot programming time and effort. Attendees experienced a KR AGILUS industrial robot from KUKA Robotics performing a simulation weld of a complex part using Visual Components Robotics OLP software to program, simulate, and execute weld path and parameters.

Visual Components Robotics OLP software programmed the KR AGILUS' complete weld path with just a few clicks. Attendees watched as the process was verified and validated offline on a screen then simulated within a KUKA Edu_ArcWelding mobile training cell. In addition to KUKA's automation, built-in post-processors make OLP software compatible with a wide range of globally recognized brands and more than 40 robot controllers, eliminating the need to know multiple languages and protocols.

"Visual Components' OLP software allows manufacturers to reimagine new and efficient processes and systems without risk or loss of production for programming and commissioning," said a company spokesperson. "The software imports part data via a 3D CAD file directly to the robot, allowing engineers to program multiple robot paths and test performance without spending hours mapping and teaching repetitive movements."

In addition to reducing programming and commissioning time from days to hours, the software allows programmers to update and reprogram their system from anywhere and store process knowledge for future use, making it simple to reuse programs and preserve institutional information.
