Introduction
The Robot Workbench is a tool to simulate a standard 6-axis industrial robot, like Kuka.
You can do the following tasks:
- Set up a simulation environment with a robot and work pieces.
- Create and fill up movement trajectories.
- Decompose features of a CAD part to a trajectory.
- Simulate the robot movement and reaching distance.
- Export the trajectory to a robot program file.
To get started try the Robot tutorial, and see the programming interface in the RobotExample.py example file.
Tools
Robot toolbar
Place Robot: Places a robot in the model.
Trajectory: Creates an empty trajectory.
Insert in Trajectory: Inserts a robot tool position into a trajectory.
Insert in Trajectory (vertex): Inserts a preselected position into a trajectory.
Edge to Trajectory: Generates a trajectory from selected edges.
Dress-Up Trajectory: Creates a dress-up object that overrides aspects of a trajectory.
Trajectory Compound: Groups and connects multiple trajectories into one.
Set Home Position: Sets the home position of a robot.
Move to Home: Moves a robot to its home position.
Simulate Trajectory: Simulates robot movement along a selected trajectory.
Other tools
- Insert Robot:
Tool: Adds a tool shape to a robot.
- Set Default Orientation: Sets the default orientation for subsequent waypoint creation.
- Set Default Values: Sets the default values for speed, acceleration, and continuity for subsequent waypoint creation.
- Export Trajectory:
Kuka Compact Subroutine: Exports a trajectory as a compact KRL subroutine.
Kuka Full Subroutine: Exports a trajectory as a full KRL subroutine.
Scripting
See the Robot API example for a description of the functions used to model the robot displacements.
