The advantage of offline programming (OLP) over manual teaching of machinery is that it does not require any capacity of the production line. This provides an economic benefit especially in the manufacture of small batch sizes and complex components.
Technology and rule-based offline programming
FASTSUITE Edition 2 offers a unique concept for offline programming. Robot programs are not only dependent on the geometry to be processed, but also on the technology used, e.g. laser welding or roller hemming, and on the respective robot controller.
FASTSUITE Edition 2 offers so-called technology and control modules for the different technologies and controllers. These modules, which can be adapted to any customer situation, ensure that high-quality, complete and consistent robot programs are output that do not depend on the programmer’s know-how.
Virtual Commissioning – Controller connection
The applications of FASTSUITE Edition 2 are based on a scalable, signal-based simulation model. This model demands that, as in a real plant, controllers at different levels can be connected to the simulation model. These can be software-based controllers (SIL) or hardware-based controllers (HIL). FASTSUITE Edition 2 has a special infrastructure for connecting controllers, which allows signal-based communication with external controllers via shared memory. This infrastructure makes it possible to connect controllers very easily to the simulation model via standard interfaces, such as OPC-UA or via proprietary connectors.
“With the implementation of the software, we can now program our parts offline, import parts from 3D scan files and immediately start producing on the machine as soon as we have a CAD file available. For example, we have parts that used to take several days, which we can now run in under an hour.”
