SCARA robots can be controlled from a PC - ABB RobotStudio® software expands new capabilities

2020-11-20

Robot Control Mate will initially be used with the IRB 910INV inverted robot and will be extended to other ABB robotics products over the course of the year. Robot Control Mate is a new plug-in for RobotStudio® that allows users to jog, teach and calibrate the robot from their computer. Robot Control Mate makes it easy to control the movements of SCARA robots. For the first time, ABB's offline programming software can be used to control real robot movements in real time, and Robot Control Mate also allows users to program robots without a FlexPendant teach pendant.

RobotStudio is the industry's leading PC-based software for pre-installation programming, configuration, and virtual commissioning of robots. The software allows the complete construction of a digital twin model of a production line's physical asset or system. The offline programming tool allows users to create, simulate and test the entire robot installation process in a virtual 3D scene, without disturbing the actual production line. This means that new production lines can be set up faster, avoid surprises during commissioning, and reach full speed smoothly - critical for manufacturers in today's trend toward mass customization and shorter product life cycles. "Simplifying the installation, programming, and operation of robots can create a lot of value for customers, including alleviating talent shortages and helping small and medium-sized businesses become robot users." Darren Huang, global product manager for small robots at ABB, said, "With the addition of the Robot Control Mate feature plug-in to RobotStudio, implementation of robot automation solutions is made easier, and users can control their robots from their laptops with greater flexibility and convenience.
