Info

Pairing Tecnomatix Process Simulate, provided by Siemens, with RTR’s RapidPlan* will empower users with the ability to generate collision-free paths created by RapidPlan. These paths can then be simulated and recorded within Process Simulate, subsequently deployed to the robots on the shop floor. This integration significantly alleviates customers' challenges when implementing industrial robots, enhancing productivity, and maximizing the benefits of robotics. The solution is straightforward: The user defines paths as a list of process points, RTR identifies collision-free routes between these process points, and generates a new path that incorporates the necessary waypoints and interlocks for collision-free operation of the cell. This video shows an end-to-end example of the RapidPlan RTR Plugin use.

*RapidPlan is the name of RTR’s software product.

What are the system specifications?

The export step is warning me that the gun will be exported as a monolithic, why?

Info

RapidPlan does not support all kind of weld gun kinematics yet. Certain guns, like X-type guns may have what we called a kinematic loop, which is not supported. In this case, Siemens PS will export the gun as a static obstacle, in which case RapidPlan will not be able to open or close the gun. The gun will be exported in the current opening state. If the gun movement is necessary, the user will have to modify the gun kinematics to a different one that does not have kinematic loops

Does the plugin change the order of process points?

Info

The plugin only does motion planning.

Does the plugin change the configuration of the robot?
