... itself is only 2.20m high (with the upper arm lying horizontally), enabling it to be operated in low rooms. Off‐line programming Pallets Robots The immediately recognizable feature of the FlexPalletizer is its curved upper arm. Other characteristics of the robot are a comparatively small...

...John Owens; Kevin Piatkowski Describes how a robot simulation software package was used to perform the simulation, calibration and Off‐line programming of a waterjet‐cutting workcell, used for cutting pelts. The workcell consisting of a robot using an RJ controller and the TP robot language had...

...J F Quinet Examines the background of off‐line programming for robots and the failure of many simulation robotics programs to become effective industrial robot programs. Looks at the need for the production cell to be identical to the simulation model and the questions to be considered...

...Jack Hollingum Describes how the modular bridge building company, Mabey &Johnson, is using Off‐line programming for work on its newly‐extended flexible manufacturing system [FMS] welding line, to strike every arc in exactly the right place with minimum sensing. Looks at the background...

...G Wittenberg Outlines the developments and benefits of Off‐line programming for robots. Discusses the importance of accurate calibration and the measurements devices available. Looks at the various software packages for creating and simulating robot programs and discusses the concept of“open...

...John Owens Examines the problem of the robot and fixture calibration from the perspective of simulation and off‐line programming. Looks at the two basic methods of measuring robot position—optical systems and cable‐driven systems—and describes examples of both of these methods. The Workspace PC...
