FANUC America Corp. in Rochester Hills has released ROBOGUIDE Version 10, billed as the latest and most advanced iteration of its industry-leading offline robot programming and simulation software.
Created to enhance efficiency, visualization, and user experience, ROBOGUIDE is designed to be “the go-to solution” for companies seeking to streamline automation design and implementation.
ROBOGUIDE allows users to create, program, and simulate robotic work cells in 3-D without the need for physical prototypes, which reduces costs and improves accuracy in automation planning.
With the launch of its next-generation software, FANUC is introducing several powerful upgrades, including:
- New Virtual Reality Capabilities: Users can now experience work cells in a fully immersive environment, improving line of sight and spatial awareness like never before. This enables engineers and operators to interact with automation designs in a more intuitive and insightful way with virtual reality playback and walk through.
- High-Performance 64-Bit Architecture: ROBOGUIDE is now a 64-bit application, delivering higher performance, increased content capacity, and improved processing power for complex automation systems.
- Modernized User Interface: Featuring a ribbon-style toolbar, floating and docking windows, and improved graphics, ROBOGUIDE V10 makes navigation more intuitive and efficient. Using a new drag-and-drop tool, users can quickly locate and define robots with ease.
- Enhanced Support for Native CAD Import: Simplifying integration and design processes, ROBOGUIDE now supports the import of many more native CAD formats, making it easier than ever to import, adjust, and optimize automation layouts.
“With the release of our enhanced ROBOGUIDE V10, we’re delivering a smarter, more powerful simulation tool that meets the evolving needs of the automation industry,” says Eric Potter, general manager, robot application segment, at FANUC America.
“Across nearly every industry, this immersive simulation software allows manufacturers to effectively visualize work cell effectiveness before actual installation, without the physical need or expense of a prototype setup.”
ROBOGUIDE V10 is now available to users alongside the previous version, sharing a single license and ensuring that FANUC customers can take advantage of the latest advancements in robotic simulation.
