3-D simulation allows quick layout of automation work cells
Enables user to determine obstacle clearances and verify reach and cycle times
Programs can be developed on offline PC without operating robot
Real-time viewing function enables remote monitoring of actual robot operation
DENSO's Wincaps II offline programming software enables users to program a robot from a remote personal computer without actually operating the robot. By viewing the robot's actions in 3-D simulation and creating 3-D solid renderings of peripherals such as grippers, conveyors, pallets, etc., the user can determine obstacle clearances and verify reach, as well as develop and troubleshoot programs. After the robot is in regular operation, its actions can be monitored remotely by viewing near-realtime 3-D simulation via RS232C or Ethernet connections.
