"For over 10 years INSYS has been integrating robots into workcells for deburring, grinding and polishing high precision parts such as watch casings, medical implants, aeronautic parts, textile machine parts and more. For reaching precision to the hundredth of a millimetre, standard teaching methods for robot programming are not at all satisfactory. For this reason, from the very beginning INSYS developed completely off-line programming tools for its applications, using 2-D and 3-D CAD data and measurements. Converting CAD data, visualising and simulating the applications were complex tasks that required many interfaces.

As it is ideal for integrating theoretical data with complex practical applications, RobotWorks has proven to be an excellent off-line robot programming tool for us. At INSYS we have made RobotWorks a standard element of our robot workcell design procedures. We use the program to design, manipulate and test robot applications off-line and to create actual robot paths for our customers. RobotWorks gives us great flexibility, especially as it can be used for a wide variety of robot types. We can run accurate simulations of a job using different robot models without touching the actual robot. This saves us a lot of time and money. We instruct our customers to use RobotWorks with our workcells so that they can easily modify their applications without stopping production; they get more value from the robot."
