Eight Reasons to Choose IRBCAM:
• Tried and TrustedThe first version of IRBCAM was released in 2005 and over the years the generated robot code has been verified to work robustly by numerous end-users allover the world. Some examples of what is possible to achieve with IRBCAM and robot milling are available at the website of the company Red Sky, Portugal,http://redsky.pt
• Ease of UseIRBCAM has an intuitive and user-friendly 3D interface. Even complex robotic systems including external axes can be configured intuitively with graphical wizards.IRBCAM is currently used as a robotic teaching tool at several universities and technical colleges. However, the majority of our customers are industrial companies.Quote from one of our end-users: "We have been able get started with IRBCAM faster than any other robotic CAD/CAM software."
• AffordabilityIn the past it has been expensive and complex to convert CAD files into robot movements. IRBCAM brings this technology within the price range of many morecustomers. Universities and teaching institutions receive a large discount (teaching material available on request).
• Flexibility
IRBCAM is not limited to a particular manufacturer of robots, CAD/CAM software or operating system. You do not have to switch to a new CAD/CAM softwarewhen purchasing IRBCAM. IRBCAM has been tested and works with SurfCAM, Esprit, CATIA, ProEngineer, VisualMill, RhinoCAM, Creo, PowerMill, SolidCam andothers. Send us an example APT-CL or G-code file if you want us to test IRBCAM’s compatibility with other CAD/CAM software. IRBCAM is currently available forWindows, Mac OS X and Linux.
• Offline ProgrammingIRBCAM can also be used as a stand-alone offline programming and verification tool, including singularity checking, robot configuration (bending back-wards/forwards, elbow up/down, wrist flip/noflip, axis 6 ± 360 degrees) and collision detection. Robot programs can be created and verified in 3D without usingG-code or APT-CL toolpaths from CAD/CAM software, including some 5-axis functions found in CAM software.
• UniqueIRBCAM supports external axes (rotary and track motion), unlimited number of robot points and uninterrupted, parallel background loading of files. We are happyto work with and support end-users who want to build and set up their own robot cell and individual solutions.
• Continuous Development IRBCAM is continuously developed and new functions and features are added based on customer requests.• Cloud Service IRBCAM running on a multi-user Windows server (Virtual Machine via Remote Desktop Protocol) is offered as an alternative to local installations.
