Off-line programming software QIROX RoboPlan

robot programmingfor robotsfor welding applications

Overview
RoboPlan enables offline programming of welding robots while production continues on the robot system. Welding and travel paths as well as sensor routines are created on 3D models; welding parameters and sequence functions are defined in the software and the completed program is exported to the robot control system. This offline workflow requires less time than teach-in methods performed on the robot, increasing system utilisation, optimising production flow and adding flexibility to welding operations.

Advantages at a glance

• Parallel programming during production to increase system utilisation
• Fast product and component adaptation to optimise production processes
• Prototype programming to improve production planning
• Higher throughput and greater flexibility

Functionality
Welding and travel paths as well as sensor routines are created on 3D models; welding parameters and program functions are assigned within the software and the finished program is transferred to the robot control system for execution. RoboPlan reduces programming time compared with teach-in methods and supports continuous offline program creation while production runs.
