Introduction to ROBOGUIDE software
1. Introduction of ROBOGUIDE
FANUC ROBOGUIDE is a simulation software provided by FANUC Robot Company. It simulates around an offline three-dimensional world, and simulates the layout of real robots and peripheral equipment in this three-dimensional world, further simulating the trajectory of the robot. Through such a simulation, the feasibility of the scheme can be verified and the accurate takt time can be obtained at the same time.
ROBOGUIDE software has built-in models and motion parameters of all FANUC robots, as well as a large number of peripheral equipment model libraries; in addition, almost all robot option functions can be used in the simulation software.
Therefore, for beginners, this software has a great advantage that it allows you to familiarize yourself with the various functions of FANUC robots and even simulate the vision processing program at almost no cost. On this basis, when you come into contact with the actual robot, you will be more comfortable.
ROBOGUIDE is a core application software, which includes a variety of simulation modules, and different application scenarios will use different simulation modules. For example, handling/gluing (Handling Pro), arc welding (Weld Pro) and spraying (Paint Pro), etc., each module requires a separate registration code, and the software module used for gluing simulation is Handling Pro.
2. Typical simulation steps of ROBOGUIDE
1. Establish a workstation
After laying out the robot, end effector, peripheral equipment, and workpiece in the 3D environment, the establishment of the workstation is completed. You can use the model library that comes with ROBOGUIDE to import each model, or use the model created by general 3D software (such as SolidWorks, UG, Proe).
It is also possible to use the real robot backup file to create a simulated robot. After importing the required peripheral device model layout, a simulation workstation consistent with the actual site is established.
2. Offline programming
In the simulation workstation, the simulation teaching pendant that is consistent with the actual teaching pendant can be used to teach the robot; the trajectory programming of the simulated robot can also be completed by using the automatic program generation function and other methods.
3. Simulation output
The accurate takt time of the robot can be obtained after simulating the off-line program, and the off-line program can be directly imported into the on-site robot for use. ROBOGUIDE can also directly output simulation video for solution presentation.
