This new version 7.5 update focuses on accelerating and simplifying the programming process and includes new features for a variety of robotic applications. Key highlights include:
• New material removal simulation capabilities so users can visually see what the material removal process will look like. This can help users forecast whether a collision between the robotic arm and stock material could occur in real life.
• Improvements to the overall user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) for easier and faster programming. Users will experience an improved tab system menu design, a cleaner interface, and many other improvements for an overall 50 percent reduction in programming time.
• Streamlined programming using two new modes: Operation focus and Orientation helper. Operation focus consolidates the tools and workflows needed for an error-free program onto one window while Orientation helper, with its combination of axis configuration and optimized automatic path planning, provides live feedback on the feasibility of a planned operation. This makes it ideal for task experts with no robotics experience.
• Enhanced CAM functionality to manage and store operation parameters in an optimized manner resulting in a smoother programming experience.
• Formalized and enhanced support for macros to manage and validate robot behavior outside of the trajectory scope. A new feature called Macro manager ensures an error- and collision-free path between operations and the executed external macro.
• New simplified processor framework allows users to make updates with minimal training and no coding experience.
“With a rising interest in robotic offline applications, programming challenges increase with new customer requests. Robotmaster V7.5, with its latest set of new features and improvements, like the re-designed tab system and the new interactive tool orientation scan, improves upon Robotmaster's well known state-of-theart tools to satisfy the market needs, setting an exciting new milestone for the extremely capable V7 architecture,” said Alfonso Lopez, an applications team manager with IntercamSA, a European based distributor of Robotmaster software.
