ROBOTIC TRAINING
Robotics Workshop
This new Robotics workshop of Automation Studio™ provides users tools to create and to simulate sophisticated robotic workcells. The workshop provides robot models that accurately replicate the dimensions and the functionalities of actual robots, enabling users to work with the simulated robots in the same way as the actual robots. The workshop also provides other robotic objects, such as loads or conveyors, allowing users to build their own production lines and check the interactions between them before the actual system can be built. Additionally, the workshop provides the capacity to create all-in-one co-simulations which integrate robots with other technologies in the Automation Studio™ ecosystem (such as PLC), which will bring users to the next level of comprehensive simulations in Automation Studio™.
HYDRAULIC AND PNEUMATIC FITTINGS
Fittings Configurator
The realism of a fluid system simulation depends, among other things, on an adequate evaluation of the pressure loss caused by all the elements of the circuit. Hoses, pipe or tube ends, as well as elbow or T-type fittings for example, are often missing from the diagram or neglected or in the digital model. The fittings configurator allows fittings to be added to lines, adapters to be added to components and connectors to be added between elements without requiring additional symbols on the design diagram. The associated pressure losses will nevertheless be taken into consideration during the simulation. The addition of these components will, however, be reflected on the parts list (BOM).While waiting for the release of the fittings manufacturers’ catalogues, the user can configure the fittings that are most frequently used in their systems.
PNEUMATIC CYLINDERS
Grippers
A new family of actuators is available in the pneumatic workshop : the pneumatic grippers. These actuators are most often used for pick and place applications. This new family offers single and double acting grippers with angular or parallel finger operation.
HYDRAULIC
Oil Volume Variation
The variation in the oil volume based on the pressure to which it is subjected was already taken into consideration. With this new evolution, the influence of temperature on the oil volume will also be considered.
