Offline programming with RoboPlan Programming of welding, search and travel paths and tools using 3D models While the robot system is in production, a new program can be simultaneously produced in RoboPlan. The welding, search and travel paths and tools can be programmed using 3D models, and the welding parameters and other functions required for running the program can then be defined. The program developed in this way is transferred into the robot controller and only optimised in the robot system. This process is less time-consuming than the generation of a new program in the robot system...

Application examples Offline programming AGCO Fendt Complex production line for high-tech tractor cabs Field of application: Offline programming AGCO Fendt depends on the technologies of Carl CLOOS Schweisstechnik GmbH for welding the safety cabs for its tractors. Manual and automated welding technology work hand-in-hand in the complex production line. It is more than 70 meters long and consists of twelve stations. Up to 23 cabs are MAG-welded per shift in seven systems with a total of 19 robots and at six manual welding workstations. AGCO Fendt uses the RoboPlan offline programming...

Small batch size Steel construction Flexible robot system for steel construction Field of application: Small batch sizes A CLOOS robot system is used for automated welding of complex steel components. The heart of the system are two QIROX QRC-410 welding robots. The robots are mounted overhead to a C-frame and can be moved on the floor-mounted linear track with a travelling length of 18 m from one side to the other. The system can be flexibly used for steel beams of different lengths and sizes. The robot system is programmed offline with the RoboPlan software by CLOOS. Thus the user...

Application examples Production planning Glüpker Blechtechnologie GmbH Efficiency through automation and optimised processes Field of application: Production planning For more than 20 years Glüpker Blechtechnologie has trusted in the welding technology by CLOOS. Today, the sheet-metal specialists use more than 30 robot systems for automated welding. These are both compact robot cells for welding small parts as well as larger robot systems with several robots for the welding of complex components. Glüpker uses RoboPlan for the offline programming of the welding programs. Furthermore, the...

Product development Fritz Driescher KG Efficient implementation of the production processes with RoboPlan The switching systems of Driescher-Wegberg have a modular design and can be assembled individually. But Driescher-Wegberg reacts flexibly to particular customer requests. Due to the wide variety of products, mostly small batch sizes are produced. Therefore, the company uses the RoboPlan offline programming software by CLOOS. While the system is in production, a new program can be simultaneously produced in RoboPlan. By using the robot system with the CLOOS RoboPlan software for offline...

Converter for import formats ■ SAT (ACIS) (Standard) ■ Step-Format (Standard) ■ SolidWorks (optional function) ■ ProE/Creo (optional function) ■ Catia V5 (optional function) Planned further developments of RoboPlan ■ Import of weld information from SolidWorks: Via a data interface it is possible to directly transfer welds being edited in SolidWorks to RoboPlan. ■ Weld transfer from triangular bodies. Welds which are included in CAD models as triangular bodies are automatically recognised and converted into weld paths. ■ Automatic collision avoidance: By means of editable rules,...

System modelling We model your CLOOS robot system. This means that we import the robot and positioner:models, convert your existing data of the clamping tools and workpieces and compose the RoboPlan model of your system of the different components. Thus all functions and advantages of RoboPlan are at your disposal directly. Seminars QIROX Software – Offline programming with RoboPlan This seminar is for robot programmers and users who have to edit, correct and maintain the robot programs. Learn everything about offline programming with RoboPlan. Among others, you learn how to operate the...
