SprutCAM Robot

A single, ‘cost effective’ software solution for the offline programming of industrial robots.

An efficient robot machining solution for the rapid creation of complex collision-free 3D movements in native 6 or more axes code (5 to 6 axis transformations are not required).

SprutCAM Robot

SprutCAM Robot offloads the tedious process of robot programming from the shop floor to a personal computer, making it a lot easier and much more effective.

SprutCAM Robot offers an extensive range of operations for 3-5 axis milling, deburring, trimming, cutting, welding, cladding and much more.

SprutCAM Robot supports programming of robots from Fanuc, Kuka, Staubli, Yaskawa Motoman, Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Nachi, ABB and many more.

Laser Welding Features in SprutCAM Robot

Main advantages and benefits:

  • Improved productivity thanks to offline programming (reduction of robot idle periods and reduction of programming costs)
  • Much faster and more accurate than teach programming
  • Easy programming of robots with rotary tables, robots on rails etc.
  • Automatic optimisation and search for collision-free motions (singularity and limb limits avoided)
  • Realistic machining simulation and verification
  • Generation of robot’s native NC code

Tool path generation

An extensive range of tool path strategies working directly with 3d models of the part and the workpiece are available

  • Roughing tool paths: parallel, equidistant, high-speed, adaptive roughing, roughing plane, roughing rotary machining, hole machining and many others
  • Finishing tool paths: finishing waterline, plane, scallop (3d constant step over), morph, rotary machining, 5 axis surfacing
  • Contouring tool paths: 2D, 3D & 5D contouring

All tool paths are generated taking into account the specific robot kinematics. The robot’s additional sixth and other degrees of freedom can be optimised either automatically or manually to extend the reach zone, avoid collisions or improve machining conditions.

Libraries

The SprutCAM Robot kinematic scheme library already covers a wide range of robots from all the major manufacturers, such as Fanuc, Kuka, Staubli, Yaskawa Motoman, Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Nachi, ABB etc. In addition, standard templates allow the rapid creation of new custom kinematic schemes for robots and robotic cells.

Applications

SprutCAM Robot applications include:

  • Milling (Stone / Wood / Foam / Resin / Aluminium)
  • Deburring / Trimming
  • Grinding / Polishing
  • Сutting (Plasma / Laser / Waterjet / Knife)
  • Welding (Plasma / Cladding – additive)
  • Painting / Spray Coating
  • Dispensing (Glue / Sealant etc.)

Robot position

Robot programming in SprutCAM Robot is performed with the robot’s position and orientation taken into account — floor/wall/shelf/ceiling mount, any position of a robot inside a cell is supported. Both “part to tool” and “tool to part” configurations are allowed.

Machining simulation

To guarantee the generated tool paths are error-free and efficient, SprutCAM Robot includes advanced simulation. The machining simulation in SprutCAM features:

  • Precise ‘real life’ robot kinematics simulation
  • Material removal simulation
  • Mechanical collisions detection
  • Part gouging detection
  • Robot singularities and out of reach zone detection

Postprocessing

The calculated toolpaths are converted to the native robot command codes by a post-processor. Many ready-to-use post-processors for all major brands are available. In addition, the built-in Post-processor Generator software can be used to create new, or, adjust existing post-processors.

Additional axes

Simultaneous control of a robot and unlimited number of linear and rotary additional positioning axes is supported. One example of such application is a robot simultaneously moving on a rail and doing some milling, another example is the continuous rotary machining of a part with a robot and a rotary table. The additional axes can be either controlled automatically using a set of rules or manually with the special “robot axes optimizer” feature.
