Vero Software’s WorkNC 2018 R1 has a robot module that is said to make offline programming of robots easy.
Simulation and singularity resolution tools in the software can take full advantage of the benefits robots bring to the manufacturing process. These tools free toolpaths from the limitations of milling, as the tool at the end of the robot’s arm can also be a grinder, a laser head, a welding nozzle and other tools.
Robots also allow for the tool to be fixed, and the part to be moved around it, instead of the traditional method of a fixed component and moving tool.
