Workspace5: Simulation and off-line programming methodology for robotic cell design

Paper in proceedings (conference paper)

This contribution summarizes initial results of work carried out under the terms of the development project "Software support of robotic classes for comprehensive design of robotic cells", no. 970/2007, University Development Fund, Czech Republic.Results of this project are primarily intended for the innovation of classes regarding industrial robots and manipulators. There are shortly summarized main features of off-line programming (OLP) methodology and advantages of using simulation and OLP, in relation to industrial robots, within academic environment. Further, the paper is being dealt with a selected and purchased commercial system Workspace 5 for simulation and OLP. In this system there was created a comprehensive simulation model of the robotic cell with the robot ABB IRB4400/60; mounted on a track motion. There were also created two models of end effectors for handling applications. The functionality of the whole model was successfully verified in practice; the main objective
