Plan robot offline programming around your parts, process, cycle time, tooling, recovery and acceptance criteria. Discuss the highest-risk feasibility questions with Oxford Industrial Automation.
Speak directly with Oxford Industrial Automation about robot simulation and offline programming.
Supply the proposed cell geometry, robot and tooling data, fixtures and process points. Use the model to review the intended sequence and identify assumptions that need physical confirmation. Record the limits of the model, then plan on-site checks of positioning, interfaces and the validated operating arrangement.
For repeatable production using robot simulation and offline programming, share the normal condition, realistic range and difficult cases the finished system must handle.
Supply the proposed cell geometry, robot and tooling data, fixtures and process points. Identify the part and process variants the model must represent, with normal conditions, credible extremes and any assumptions needing physical confirmation.
Describe how parts arrive and are presented to the robot, including the expected range and difficult cases. Provide representative examples so the proposed sequence can be checked against the conditions that need confirmation on the real cell.
State the required production pattern and complete process sequence, with available cycle observations and drawings. Separate modelled timing from assumptions that require on-site confirmation; robot speed alone does not establish the complete cycle.
List the tooling, sensing and machine or line interfaces included in the scope, with available drawings and interface measurements. Identify any result that depends on equipment or data outside that scope, and the on-site checks needed.
Describe operator, cleaning, maintenance, recovery and changeover access for the proposed cell. Record the operating arrangement and difficult recovery cases for application assessment and physical confirmation.
Agree the examples, method, repetitions, acceptable ranges and result records for reviewing the model and the eventual cell. Record model limits and outstanding assumptions, identify who reviews the results, and plan the on-site positioning and interface checks.
The right choice changes with part, product and process variation for robot simulation & offline programming, arrival pattern and presentation, your line layout and required results.
You can review decisions about operator access, recovery and changeover and run-off criteria and production evidence at each stage.
Share representative parts, process observations and cycle data, including the normal range for part, product and process variation for robot simulation & offline programming and the difficult arrival pattern and presentation cases.
Compare suitable methods and use focused trials to show how each option performs against required cycle and production pattern.
Connect the equipment to your line, services and controls while resolving tooling, sensing and process interfaces for day-to-day operation.
Confirm operator access, recovery and changeover, then complete and record run-off criteria and production evidence before your operating team takes over.
Your final solution for robot simulation and offline programming must reflect the law, current standards and site-specific risks that apply to your installation.
