Motoman MotoSim EG Simulation Software0 pages

MotoSim® EG-VRC (Motoman Simulator Enhanced Graphics – Virtual Robot Control) is a comprehensive software package that provides accurate 3D simulation of robot cells. This powerful simulation software can be used to optimize robot and equipment placement, as well as to perform collision detection, reach modeling and cycle calculations. It also provides accurate off-line programming of complex systems. Virtual Robot Controller capability means that the simulation software now operates and displays the actual programming pendant interface for the DX100 and NX100 controllers. The VRC supports standard INFORM (robot language) instructions, and can completely simulate the DX100 and NX100 controller software in the PC environment, including system configuration functions and condition file editing.
MotoSim EG-VRC
n Provides a display of the DX100 or
NX100 robot controller pendant on a PC.
n Robot movement is controlled through the pendant display.
n Users can import CAD files in .hmf, .hsf or .3ds formats.
Teach Pendant Programming
n Whether a programmer is using a teach pendant on a DX100 or NX100 controller or using MotoSim EG-VRC on a PC – the interface display is exactly the same.
Steps used to accomplish actions
in the “virtual” world of the simulator
are identical to the actions required
in the actual (real) world.
Cell Layout Advantage
n Using a standard 3D graphics engine provides ability to add markups/comments to robot simulation and accurately measure
distances. Ability to create permanent measurement lines is a big advantage during the cell layout process.
Increase Uptime
n MotoSim EG-VRC reduces programming time, thus increasing
uptime of the production equipment.
New parts can be programmed off-line before production begins, and existing robot programs can be modified to increase efficiency and reduce cycle time – without sacrificing production schedules.
Virtual Testing
n High accuracy allows programs to be tested on the PC instead of on the robot system, reducing robot downtime.
n Enables user to make changes to improve robot performance.
n Detailed path calculation function plots robot’s trajectory to simplify program verification .
n Creates process angles, allowing
user to create programs that
maintain the robot’s tool orientation
in relation to an uneven surface, such as a sharply angled part, or gradually changing shapes, such as
propellers or motorcycle gas tanks.
Off-Line Programming
n Robot paths, speeds and other program data – such as tool center
points, user frames, and I/O monitors – can be defined on the PC.
n User can move the virtual robot, enter the data to create a robot program, and download it to the robot controller.
n When Motoman’s MotoCal® software and optional filters are used, programs created in MotoSim EG-VRC can be down-loaded to the robot controller with minimal or no touch-up.
MotoSim EG Components
n Sample system cells are available on the installation CD and accessory parts.
Capabilities
n Enhanced multiple robot control.
n Independent/coordinated motion functions.
n External axis control and coordination.
n Macro command.
n Relative job.

n Same easy-to-use INFORM language instructions as the
robot controller.
n Can be used to minimize fixturing errors.
n Can be used to reduce robot installation time.
n User-definable view.
n Cycle time and reach analysis.
