Offline Robot Programming | SprutCAM X

There are 2 main ways to program robots: offline and online

Online programming
(or teach-in programming)

Is performed by the operator or programmer directly at the installation site of the robot. Using the control panel or manual movement, the tool is sequentially approached to the required points in space. The input of machining parameters for the specified point is carried out using the robot controller.

In the process of online programming, the robot is not able to perform any operations, and the time spent on online programming, even operations of medium complexity, can reach several days. This programming method is suitable mainly for mass production of the same type of products.

Offline programming (OLP)

Is carried out on a separate PC using specialized software capable of simulating the machining on a digital model of a specific robot. With digital twin technology, you can continue to use a real robot at a production site without disrupting the manufacturing process while the next executable mashining program is being developed in an external CAD/CAM/OLP system.

Using OLP, a new machining program is launched on the robot in just a few hours, which are only required to set it up in real production conditions.

Key benefits of using OLP

Each element of the robot can be viewed from different angles to analyze all stages of manufacturing. This allows critical errors in the product or process to be identified and corrected in advance and eliminates the need for costly on-site modifications once production has started.

SprutCAM X Robot provides a convenient and natural robot programming environment,
in which the interaction of an engineer with a robot, tool and product is as close to reality as possible.

It seamlessly integrates offline programming, simulation and code generation, delivering quick, error-free industrial robot programs. Some robotic solutions require the purchase of a separate CAM system for full operation. In the case of SprutCAM X Robot, you do not need anything else.

SprutCAM X Robot is a complete, seamless offline industrial robot programming solution that provides:

  • Robotic cell zero-code digital twin builder
  • Technology setup and toolpath calculation
  • Simulation
  • Robot kinematics optimization for singularity avoidance and collision free movements
  • Postprocessing
  • G-code verification

Robot Axis Map

Toolpaths are calculated in native 6-axis codes, and no transformations are required to go from 5 to 6 axes. Singularity, calibration, collisions, reach limitations, and motion granularity are uniquely complex to robotic systems and can make programming particularly cumbersome. SprutCAM X Robot is pleased to offer a convenient tool for solving such difficulties – the Robot Axis Map.
