RobotStudio True Offline Programming

• RobotStudio is the easy-to-use, low cost
  software for visualization and offline
  programming of ABB robots
• It is the tool you need to maximize your
  productivity

5
VirtualRobotTM Technology

• VirtualRobot is an exact copy of the S4
  controller
• Robot programs and configuration parameters can
  easily be transferred between robots and PC

6
Improved comprehension

• Build new solutions quickly
• Evaluate alternatives
• Initial feasibility studies
• Initial cycle-time calculations
• Visualize solutions
• Share a proposed solution with users on all
  levels
• Address problem areas at an early stage
• Include 3D simulations in quotations

7
Risk reduction

• Verify new designs quickly
• Check reachability
• Avoid collisions
• Detect singularity issues
• Secure project feasibility and success

What can RobotStudio do for me?

• How can I improve the comprehension of my
  quotations?
• How can I reduce the risk for costly mistakes?
• How can I reduce cost of programming?
• How can I benefit from a quicker start up?

From six months to six days

• Situation
• Contract manufacturer plasma spraying details to
  make them heat-resistant
• Online programming had been going on for half a
  year
• The customer did not approve the part quality
• Benefits
• Higher part quality
  With RobotStudio the CAD data was utilized to
  quickly generate a very accurate program
• Cut programming time
• A new program was created with RobotStudio in
  half a day
• Reachability
  RobotStudio showed that the robot could be placed
  in a better position in relation to the part

System integrator improved comprehension

• Situation
• A system integrator is quoting a robot system
• Before presenting the offer to the customer a
  simulation was built in RobotStudio
• RobotStudio showed that the robot could not
  reach as required
• Benefit
• Improved comprehension.The realistic simulation
  prevented a costly mistake

20
Large sub-supplier quicker startup-time

• Situation
• Sub-supplier welding big cabins for trucks
• Required offline programming to minimize
  disturbance
• A competitor got the initial order but failed to
  offline program the station
• Benefits
• Reduced risk the integrator knew they would
  succeed where the competitor failed
• Shorten startup-time at customer site

• The ABB solution was awarded the next
  order!

21
Subcontractor cut time-to-market

• Situation
• Automotive subcontractor that needed to shorten
  time-to-market and increase the product quality
• Benefits
• Cut time-to-market by 50 when using
  RobotStudio for more exact robot programs
• Cut programming time 50 programming offline
  compared to online

RobotStudio is very easy to work with and very
exact, says Max Mortensen, Core Process
Responsible at Fuel Tech.
22
Small company cut programming time

• Situation
• Small company welding and cutting bullet traps
  for shooting ranges
• Benefits
• Reduced risk
  RobotStudio can project the cycle time for each
  component, so bigger and more complicated
  projects can be planned.
• Cut programming time
• Torsten has become a better robot programmer, he
  dares to test different solutions in RobotStudio
  
  
  

• RobotStudio cuts programming time by 50, says
  Torsten Werner, CEO at Comtri.
