Offline Programming

Here are some of the top benefits for organizations interested in implementing offline programming into their CNC robotic processes and applications.

• Ease of use – Offline programming is much easier to learn than it was decades ago. As a result, more organizations of various sizes can adopt OLP services in their own industrial and manufacturing processes. This greater potential for wider adoption means that small and midsized enterprises can also benefit from OLP packages for their simulation needs.
• No interruptions necessary – With offline robot programming, production can continue without needing to stop to reprogram one or more robots that are actively involved in the production process. Several parts can be programmed offline with OLP software while production continues for every other robot and part involved in the process. Once a new job is needed, the offline program can be switched over and the previously offline robots can return to the normal production processes.
• Enhancing robotic capabilities – These OLP software packages can plot out the best robotic trajectories and prevent disastrous robotic collisions and other possible malfunctions. Some OLPs feature user interfaces (UI) that will allow organizations to logistically place parts, effectively perform tool tilting procedures and optimally control external axes.
• Adaptability – Many OLP software services handled by third parties are universal in their applications. They can work with several different kinds of robotic brands and so they are quite versatile. Keep in mind that the OLP services of specific robot manufacturers usually are proprietary and will only work effectively with that manufacturer’s brand.
