ROBOT SIMULATION

Robot simulation is the process of creating the robot workcell in the “virtual world” to check and validate a number of application process parameters prior to implementation, such as:

     • robot placement and reachability

     • tooling design validation

     • interferences with other workcell equipment

     • layout design

     • cycle time validation

     • human safety and ergonomic issues

     • and much more ….

DiFACTO’s robot simulation studies have benefited customers by:

     » Reducing technical risk through identification of production problems          and bottleneck areas at an early stage of the project

     » Promoting common understanding between the technology suppliers          and users

     » Reducing lead time for new product introductions

     » Helping customers to plan and prepare for implementation

     » Validating the possibility of utilising existing equipment and resources

     » Reducing capital and recurring costs through optimization of process          and equipment

In combination with factory simulation and human ergonomic simulation studies, robot simulation can deliver an almost perfect anticipation of the entire production process.
