RobotStudio takes the guesswork out of programming.

The traditional method of programming robots, using a FlexPendant attached to the robot controller, works well for some tasks, but robots have been placed into ever more intricate and complicated operations-things that even the most skilled human programmer staring at a screen full of countless lines of code would be hard pressed to accomplish. Over the last decade it has become an increasingly popular way to test robot operation before a mistake on the factory floor results in damage, stoppage and/or loss of money. The ability to program a robot in the virtual world before it operates in the real world has dramatically changed the way companies and individuals think about programming robots.
So here, for not the last time I’m sure, I wanted to introduce the broader world to the concept of PC-Based robot programming with RobotStudio. But it got me thinking about how we are sometimes so deep into our own products and proud of how well they do what they are meant to do, that we forget the rest of the world needs reminding they exist sometimes.

What is RobotStudio?Īs it turns out, he knew we had an offline programming solution, he just hadn’t connected the dots to the name yet.
It was at this point I mentioned RobotStudio-ABB’s PC-based (AKA “offline”) robot programming software-but rather than him nodding along in recognition (as I expected) I was surprised to hear him ask, “What is RobotStudio?” Indeed. When we started talking about programming we inevitably reached the part of the discussion where the trend towards making robots easier to program came up.

I walked him around our robotics booth, which had three impressively large palletizing robots, one of our well-known FlexPickers, and an innovative hybrid welding cell with one robot bolted to another robot-something we’ve called the IRB 800, because it consists of an IRB 660 plus an IRB 140 (yeah, we can do math here in the robotics writing lab too!). Flexible, easy, and fast-just three words, but they sum up what is the most powerful, PC-based, 3D, virtual robot programming tool available.Īt the recent Automation and Power World in Orlando, Florida-ABB’s gigantic annual trade show devoted to our customers-I had a conversation with somebody who knows ABB’s robotics products reasonably well.
