Fast, Accurate Multi-Axis Programming For Robots.: Delcam PLC, AMS Division WWW - Delcam.tv

The document discusses a robot interface that allows users to easily program multi-axis robots in a similar way to programming 5-axis machines. It simulates the robot's behavior for peace of mind and supports popular robot brands. The interface calculates toolpaths, simulates them, and converts them to the robot's native language for accurate path tracking.

Fast, accurate multi-axis programming for robots.

Programming the multi-axis control systems for robots has traditionally been a complex and laborious task. Robots can be programmed using teach-and-learn methods, but these require a lot of fine tuning to achieve the perfect path. The PowerMILL Robot Interface lets you program robots with up to 8 axes as easily as you could program a 5-axis NC machine. Accurate 3D simulation shows exactly how your robot will behave, bringing complete peace-of-mind. Advantages Manufactures large parts more easily Great freedom of movement Works in hostile environments such as stone, composites, nuclear Adaptability, mobility Full robot programming and simulation in a single application Supports popular robots: KUKA, ABB, Fanuc, Motoman, Staubli Low cost manufacturing alternative to machine tools Programs as easily as a 5-axis machine tool Wide range of robot options from 3 to 8 axes, linear and rotary Manual axis adjustment to avoid singularities

Applications Sculpting in stone and wood Modelling in foam and resin Trimming and deburring of all types of materials Plasma cutting Laser cutting Spot and continuous arc-welding Laser cladding Turbine and jet blade repair Non-destructive measurement of complex 3D parts Painting
