RobotStudio

Early adapters Competitive advantage

Traditional Today

RobotStudio True Offline Programming

“RobotStudio is the easy-to-use, low cost software for visualization and offline programming of ABB robots”

“It is the tool you need to maximize your productivity”

VirtualRobotTM Technology

VirtualRobot is an exact copy of the S4 controller

Robot programs and configuration parameters can easily be transferred between robots and PC

VirtualRobotTM Technology True Offline Programming

Improved comprehension

Build new solutions quickly:

Evaluate alternatives Initial feasibility studies Initial cycle-time calculations

Visualize solutions: Share a proposed solution

with users on all levels Address problem areas at

an early stage

Include 3D simulations in quotations

Risk reduction

Verify new designs quickly:

Check reachability Avoid collisions Detect singularity issues

Secure project feasibility and success

Time to market

Start programming before the system is installed:

Motion programming I/O programming

Enables parallell workflow between you and your sub suppliers

Less capital tied up!

Shorter time to market and quicker start-up!

Improved part quality

Exact robot programs

Positions calculated from CAD data

Improved tolerance for deviations between batches

Verified path accuracy through simulation

Open for application adaptations

What can RobotStudio do for me?

How can I improve the comprehension of my quotations?

How can I reduce the risk for costly mistakes?

How can I reduce cost of programming?

How can I benefit from a quicker start up?

From six months to six days…

Situation: Contract manufacturer plasma

spraying details to make them heat-resistant

Online programming had been going on for half a year

The customer did not approve the part quality

Benefits: Higher part quality

With RobotStudio the CAD data was utilized to quickly generate a very accurate program

Cut programming time

A new program was created with RobotStudio in half a day

Reachability RobotStudio showed that the robot could be placed in a better position in relation to the part

System integrator improved comprehension

Situation:

A system integrator is quoting a robot system

Before presenting the offer to the customer a simulation was built in RobotStudio

RobotStudio showed that the robot could not reach as required

Benefit:

Improved comprehension.The realistic simulation prevented a costly mistake

Large sub-supplier quicker startup-time

Situation:

Sub-supplier welding big cabins for trucks

Required offline programming to minimize disturbance

A competitor got the initial order but failed to offline program the station

Benefits:

Reduced risk the integrator knew they would succeed where the competitor failed

Shorten startup-time at customer site

The ABB solution was awarded the next order!

Subcontractor cut time-to-market

Situation:

Automotive subcontractor that needed to shorten time-to-market and increase the product quality

Benefits:

Cut time-to-market by 50% when using RobotStudio for more exact robot programs

Cut programming time 50% programming offline compared to online “RobotStudio is very easy to work with

and very exact”, says Max Mortensen,Core Process Responsible at Fuel Tech.

Small company cut programming time

Situation:

Small company welding and cutting bullet traps for shooting ranges

Benefits:

Reduced risk RobotStudio can project the cycle time for each component, so bigger and more complicated projects can be planned.

Cut programming time

Torsten has become a better robot programmer, he dares to test different solutions in RobotStudio

“RobotStudio cuts programming time by 50%”, says Torsten Werner, CEO at Comtri.
