Universal Robots Toolpath Generator for SOLIDWORKS

Universal Robots Toolpath Generator for SOLIDWORKS

SOLIDWORKS is a commercial CAD software package for designing industrial components. The 3D models developed in SolidWorks serve as a basis for G-code toolpath generation. Universal Robots’ Polyscope software contains the Remote TCP Toolpath URCap, which automatically generates robot motion based on imported G-code files. The purpose of this Toolpath Generator is to provide an easy-to-use approach for defining 2.5-axis toolpaths in SolidWorks. It also ensures the output from SolidWorks uses the correct syntax that is compatible with the Remote TCP Toolpath URCap. This product is provided to e-Series users free of charge.

Autodesk Fusion 360 Post-processor for Universal Robots

Autodesk Fusion 360 is an well-integrated and cloud-based CAD/CAM software package that can generate multiaxis toolpath files based on 3D models. It is easy-to-use, versatile, and affordable. This post-processor outputs toolpath files in either URScript or G-code format. The URScript format is compatible with both CB-Series and e-Series, whereas the G-code format is compatible with e-Series robots running the Remote TCP Toolpath URCap. This post-processor simplifies robot programming for process applications, including dispensing, gluing, deburring, polishing, sanding, welding, milling, etc. This product is offered to Autodesk Fusion 360 subscribers at no additional charge. *** Please obtain a link to download the post-processor through the Request Info button below.

Remote TCP & Toolpath URCap

The Remote TCP Toolpath URCap makes it easier to program Universal Robots for process applications, such as dispensing, deburring, polishing, etc. First, this URCap allows you to set Remote Tool Center Points (RTCP), where the tool center point is fixed in space, relative to the base of the robot. Second, it is also able to automatically generate robot motion based on an imported G-code toolpath file. When the robot is required to follow a complex trajectory for a dispensing or deburring application, it is much easier to program the toolpath based on a part model in the CAD/CAM software that the user is already familiar with. The user no longer needs to spend a long time programming waypoints and circle moves from the teach pendant.
