TOOLPATH GENERATION
ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS An extensive range of toolpath strategies working
Improved productivity through offline directly with 3d models of the part and the
programming (reduction of robot idle periods workpiece are available
Roughing toolpaths: parallel, equidistant, high-
and reduction of programming costs)
speed, adaptive roughing, roughing plane, roughing
Much faster than programming by teaching rotary machining, hole machining and many others
(without teaching points) Finishing toolpaths: finishing waterline, plane,
Easy programming of robots with rotary scallop (3d constant step over), morph, rotary
tables, robots on rails machining, 5 axis surfacing
Automatic optimization and search for Contouring toolpaths: 2D, 3D & 5D contouring
collision-free motions
All toolpaths are formed in the light of the specific
Realistic machining simulation and verification robot kinematics. The robot’s additional sixth and
Generation of robot’s native NC code other degrees of freedom can be optimized either
automatically or manually to extend the reach zone,
avoid collisions or improve machining conditions.
LIBRARIES
The SprutCAM Robot kinematic scheme library
already covers a wide range of robots from all the
major manufacturers, such as Fanuc, Kuka, Staubli,
Yaskawa Motoman, Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Nachi, ABB
etc. In addition, standard templates allow the rapid
creation of new custom kinematic schemes for robots
ROBOT POSITION
APPLICATIONS and robotic cells.
Robot programming in SprutCAM Robot is
Milling (Stone / Wood / Foam / Resin) performed with the robot’s position and fixation in
Deburring / Trimming space taken into account — floor/wall/shelf/ceiling
Grinding / Polishing mount, any position of a robot inside a cell is
supported. Both “part to tool” and “tool to part”
Сutting (Plasma / Laser / Waterjet / Knife)
OPTIMIZATION & SIMULATION configurations are allowed.
Welding To guarantee the generated toolpaths are error-free
Painting / Spray Coating and efficient, SprutCAM Robot offers an advanced
Dispensing module for machining simulation. Machining
simulation in SprutCAM features:
Precise ‘real life’ robot kinematics simulation
Material removal simulation
Collisions detection
Part gouging detection
Robot singularities and out of reach zone
detection
POSTPROCESSING
The generated CLData is converted to native robot
command codes by a postprocessor. Many ready to use
postprocessors for all major brands are already
available. In addition, the built-in Postprocessor
Generator can be used to create new or adjust existing
ADDITIONAL AXES
postprocessors.
Simultaneous control of a robot and unlimited
number of linear and rotary additional positioning
axes are supported. One example of such
application is a robot simultaneously moving on a
rail and doing some milling, another example is the
continuous rotary machining of a part with a robot
and a rotary table. The additional axes can be either
controlled automatically using a set of rules or
manually with the special “robot axes optimizer”
feature.
WHATS’S NEW
Advanced collision monitoring
All types of collisions are checked for, not only
cutting tools, but also toolholder, adaptors,
reduction sleeves, etc. are monitored.
Function of automatic collision avoidance is
added for obstacle avoidance by the tool axis.
Associativity support of 3D model import in
STEP or Parasolid formats
If an already used 3D model is edited outside
of SprutCAM and re-imported into the project, it
automatically ‘matched’ with the existing project
model, so no re-selection of model features is
required.
