📖 Full Details
This comprehensive robot programming suite streamlines the entire workflow from initial cell design through production commissioning. Supporting both ABB and KUKA robot platforms, the toolkit provides offline programming capabilities that significantly reduce on-site commissioning time and minimize production disruption.
The ABB workflow centers on RobotStudio with custom Add-Ins developed in C# that automate repetitive programming tasks. These include automatic path generation from CAD geometry, collision-aware reach analysis, and cycle time optimization using proprietary algorithms that analyze path segments and suggest speed/acceleration adjustments.
For KUKA systems, WorkVisual serves as the primary development environment with custom KRL modules handling complex motion sequences. The programming approach emphasizes modularity—reusable motion primitives that can be assembled into complete programs with minimal manual coding.
Safety integration follows IEC 62443 cybersecurity standards and ISO 10218 robot safety requirements. Every program includes comprehensive safety I/O mapping, zone violation checks, and emergency stop handling. The suite includes automated test generation that validates safety functions against specified requirements.
Program structure follows automotive industry best practices with clear separation between motion logic, I/O handling, and error recovery. Standardized naming conventions and documentation templates ensure programs are maintainable by operations teams after handover.
The suite has been deployed across multiple automotive supplier projects, consistently achieving first-time-right commissioning rates above 90%.
