What is Robot Programmer?

3DEXPERIENCE-Delmia-Robot-Programmer-Screen

The Robot Programmer role enables users to simulate and validate robot tasks to eliminate errors before implementation. Whether you’re looking to fully automate a system or add a robot (cobot) to work collaboratively with an operator, robots using advanced programming can automate repetitive tasks, delivering benefits that will be seen immediately.

Benefits include:

  • Reuse current production robot programs to accelerate changes and adjustments in existing cells
  • Offline programming software so users can develop and test robotic programs without halting production
  • Seamless SOLIDWORKS integration and connection to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
  • User-friendly UI tailored to advanced robotics programming needs
  • Visualize robotic functions in real-time to catch potential issues early and reduce costly errors down the line

Key Benefits of Robot Programmer

End-to-End Digital Continuity

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers a unified platform that connects various stages of the product lifecycle, facilitating seamless collaboration and ensuring digital continuity from design through manufacturing to service.

Easier Collaboration

Improved Collaboration

The platform facilitates collaboration among multidisciplinary teams, allowing designers, engineers, and other stakeholders to plan, simulate, and optimize a wide range of robot applications in a shared environment.

This can lead to enhanced communication, faster decision-making, and a more integrated approach to product development.

  • Use the “Autoplace” function to determine your robot's optimal placement, ensuring it can reach everywhere you need it without getting in the way.
  • Ability to program robots offline, so you can keep your production equipment running while making tweaks to the robot program.
  • Over 2,000 different robot kinematic models are supported, allowing modification to robotic paths in a simulated environment to optimize movement and ensure collision-free operation.
  • Quickly calculate the loading of pallets based on the size and weight of the packages

Implement Faster with Fewer Errors
