Software makes it easy to program robots

RobotWare 6 robot controller software includes an extensive toolbox for developers and a broad range of communications capabilities. The enhancements improve the programming and control of robotic systems and equipment, without sacrificing motion control and safety.

RobotWare 6 comes with improved installation features, including Installation Manager, highlighted by a flexible application licensing mechanism for developers, and a new and intuitive user interface that improves robot set-up time and system reconfiguration.

Another feature is Externally Guided Motion (EGM), which, with the aid of external sensors, gives operators more precise control over robot motion. The new functionality also allows integrators to further optimize cell design and production flows. The sensors provide the ability to input absolute positions and to modify the robot’s path. Paths can be updated every four milliseconds with a controller lag of between 8 to 20 20 milliseconds, depending on the on the type of robot.
