RobotWorks is a robotics CAD
that runs with SOLIDWORKS on a Windows PC. Use
RobotWorks for
workcell design, motion simulation and robot programming
inside one interactive CAD environment.
RobotWorks uses the
SOLIDWORKS graphics and internal engine
to create a robot path quickly along faces, edges and curves
of CAD objects.
In
RobotWorks "The Math is the Path" - the geometry behind the
CAD objects is translated to a mathematically accurate path,
complete with location and orientation, along which a robot
can run.
With a few mouse clicks you have an accurate off line robot
program written in native robot language, without using a
teach pendant. Once you have created a path, you can move the
parts around on the screen and the path will be revised
automatically, or you can modify any point manually in an
interactive way.

Key Features:
- Calculates path automatically along CAD objects
- Allows moving tool or moving part
- Enables Collision Detection
- Displays Actual Joint Values and Limits
- Provides Tool Frames and User (Base) Frames
- Works with most imported surfaces
- Reads XYZ points and translates them to robot path
- Records external events and instructions (I/Os, speed,
etc.) for each point
- Writes native files for FANUC, ABB, Kawasaki, Motoman,
KUKA and Staubli
- Produces point files in a generic form for most other
robots |

RobotWorks supplies the robot models. User parts and fixtures may
be loaded from your library of parts, imported from other CAD
programs, or built inside SOLIDWORKS.
RobotWorks is available as an add-on to
SOLIDWORKS.
RobotWorks itself is
intuitive and easy to master; it requires only some basic
knowledge of
SOLIDWORKS. The software is accompanied by a
comprehensive help file and set of tutorials, examples and "Show
Me" tips.
