Robcad is Rad: Robotic Software

In today’s world, man­u­fac­tur­ing sys­tems are cost­ly and time-con­sum­ing. Before instal­la­tion occurs, the sys­tem needs to be val­i­dat­ed, equip­ment should be prop­er­ly func­tion­ing, and the user should feel con­fi­dent he will obtain max­i­mum effi­cien­cy from the work­cell or system.

Tecnomatix’s Rob­cad is a sim­u­la­tion tool that enables the user to per­fect his man­u­fac­tur­ing process­es with core tech­nolo­gies and process-spe­cif­ic appli­ca­tions. Rob­cad treats the user to a full-action mock­up of work­cells and man­u­fac­tur­ing sys­tems in a 3D envi­ron­ment so that engi­neers are able to study and vary the work­cells before the equip­ment is pur­chased. When prob­lems can be detect­ed and solu­tions can be devised dur­ing the ear­ly stages of plan­ning, both mon­ey and time are saved. 

Man­u­fac­tur­ing process­es are devel­oped, sim­u­lat­ed, opti­mized, and val­i­dat­ed with Rob­cad. This helps users cut their costs, increase qual­i­ty, and get prod­ucts com­plet­ed more quick­ly. Cycle times can be cal­cu­lat­ed, which will help short­en the ramp-up time. Along with the offline pro­gram­ming, the life-like design of the work­cell or sys­tem enables opti­mized development. 

A ben­e­fit of Rob­cad is that the process­es it address­es run the gamut: arc weld­ing, spot weld­ing, water­jet cut­ting, laser cut­ting, paint­ing, spray­ing, and mate­r­i­al han­dling. It also can inter-oper­ate with main­stream CAD sys­tems while han­dling large amounts of data. Mul­ti­ple robots and mech­a­nisms are accu­rate­ly sim­u­lat­ed and syn­chro­nized, and Rob­cad boasts an impres­sive library of typ­i­cal robot mod­els and con­trol configurations.
