Quantity!

Complexity!

It is almost impossible to manually program multi-robot work cells

What is Robcad?

Robcad is a set of Digital Manufacturing tools for design,

simulation, optimization and off-line programming of

automated and manual manufacturing systems

Robcad creates a virtual

manufacturing environment

to evaluate and verify

manufacturing processes

Key Features

Interactive design of manufacturing lines and work cells

3D visualization

Collision checks

Simulations of manufacturing cells, to test, verify and optimize placement and programming of robots

Cable simulation

Built on Standard

Membership includes a variety of manufacturers and simulation suppliers in support of all robotic and automation applications.

What is RRS?“The projects of Realistic Robot Simulation (RRS) aim at achieving high accuracy when simulating the controllers of manufacturing systems.” - Fraunhofer IPK, Project Coordinator
