ABB Robotic Software Boost Productivity

ABB​’s pri­or­i­ty is to boost their cus­tomers’ pro­duc­tiv­i­ty and to decrease the total cost of own­ing and oper­at­ing a robot. This led to the devel­op­ment of a fam­i­ly of soft­ware prod­ucts to sup­port every stage of the robot life cycle.

If the user’s goal is to max­i­mize return on invest­ment for robot sys­tems, offline pro­gram­ming is the way to go. ABB’s sim­u­la­tion and offline pro­gram­ming soft­ware enables robot pro­gram­ming to be com­plet­ed on a PC in the office while con­tin­u­ing pro­duc­tion. This soft­ware is enti­tled RobotStudio.

Robot­Stu­dio allows the user to per­form tasks such as train­ing, pro­gram­ming, and opti­miza­tion with­out inter­rupt­ing pro­duc­tion, which increas­es the prof­itabil­i­ty of the sys­tem due to risk reduc­tion, quick start-up, and short­er change-over.

Robot­Stu­dio pro­vides real­is­tic sim­u­la­tions using real robot pro­grams and con­fig­u­ra­tion files. It is built on the ABBVir­tu­al Con­troller, an iden­ti­cal copy of the real soft­ware that runs the robots in production.

Robot­Stu­dio and Robot­Stu­dio Pow­er­Pacs are avail­able for down­load, and can be used in a tri­al peri­od for 30 free days. The ABB web­site has a ​“How to use it” sec­tion on their web­site which assists cus­tomers in get­ting start­ed in just 30 min­utes. There is also a ​“Blog” sec­tion enabling users to stay up to date with Robot­Stu­dio as well as share con­tent and ideas. 

The appli­ca­tion soft­ware pack­ages are avail­able for the fol­low­ing appli­ca­tions: arc weld­ing, assem­bly, cut­ting, die cast­ing, pack­ag­ing, plas­tic, spot weld­ing, press automa­tion, machin­ing, and machine tend­ing.
