Service

Simulation and design from a single source

We check fixtures and grippers in the virtual robot cell before anything is manufactured. Collisions, reachability problems and cycle-time risks are found during design – not during commissioning on the line.

Your benefit

Why simulation and design belong together

Because design and simulation sit in the same team, simulation results flow straight back into the design. This saves coordination loops and changes on the line – and makes automated manufacturing run more smoothly.

  • Problems are found before manufacturing, not on the line
  • Fewer change loops between design and simulation
  • Reliable statements on reachability and cycle time
  • A solid starting point for programming and commissioning

Approach

What we check in simulation

  1. ReachabilityRobots and tools reach every position
  2. CollisionsRobot, gripper, fixture, part and periphery
  3. AccessibilityClamping sequence and weld-gun access
  4. Cycle timeEstimation and sequence optimisation
  5. LayoutReview of cell concept and arrangement
  6. PathsOffline programming support

Deliverables

What you receive

  1. Reachability studies for robots and tools
  2. Collision checks for robot, gripper, fixture, part and periphery
  3. Validation of fixtures and grippers in the cell
  4. Cycle-time estimation and sequence optimisation
  5. Review of layout and cell concept
  6. Offline programming support as a starting point for commissioning
  7. Simulation report with results, screenshots and videos

What we need

What we need from you

  • Cell layout, robot type and tooling
  • Part and product data
  • Process and sequence description

No up-to-date layout? We capture the station by 3D laser scanning.

Software

Simulation and CAD tools

  • Process Simulate
  • DELMIA
  • RoboDK
  • CATIA
  • Siemens NX
  • Autodesk Inventor

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which simulation software do you use?

Process Simulate, DELMIA and RoboDK. The tool we use depends on your standard and the available data.

Can I order simulation without design?

Yes. We also check existing fixtures and grippers or those designed by third parties.

What do I receive as a result?

A report with the results and recommendations and, on request, the simulation data and paths as a starting point for programming.
