Joining forces, the software manufacturers RoboDK and BobCAD-CAM Inc. developed a new plu-gin for coupling CAM and robot offline programming.
By allowing a more accessible and adaptive use of robots during production, the plugin ushers in anew era of flexible machining.
RoboDK + BobCAD-CAM - an ideal duo for a diverse set of processing types. From drilling, milling, grinding to polishing and more.
The robots can be used in both metal- and woodworking. Materials such as stone, wood, plastic,aluminium as well as hard materials such as steel or nickel-based alloys can be flexibly processed.Additional linear axes or swivel rotary tables enable industrial robots to also be employed for laserprocessing and water-jet cutting.
This is how the new RoboDK plugin for BobCAD-CAM works.
The RoboDK plugin for BobCAD-CAM is now available for all users of both software packages. Itcombines BobCAD-CAM’s highly efficient, processing/ machining functions with the innovativeoffline robot programming capabilities of RoboDK. Thus ensuring a seamless generation of robotmachining paths directly from the BobCAD-CAM interface.
The plugin can be easily installed within an existing BobCAD-CAM set-up - BobCAD-CAM V34,BobCAM for SolidWorks V10 or BobCAM for Rhinoceros V2. Access to the main function followsvia a new panel on the BobCAD-CAM interface: at the touch of a button, machining/ processingpaths are being send to the robot. In RoboDK the robot program can be easily optimized asneeded.
The plugin is available in the following languages: English, German, French, Italian and Czech.
Since 1985, BobCAD-CAM has been developing easy-to-use and affordable CAD-CAM software -CNC programming solutions for milling, turning, turn-mill-, water-jet-, plasma-, and laser-cutting as well as wire EDM. BobCAD-CAM integrates CAD and CAM functions in a single interface, allowing a smooth transition from design to tools path programming, simulation and G-code processing. No matter their personal experience, from aerospace engineer to DIY enthusiasts - BobCAD-CAM can help any user design and manufacture precision parts.
Founded in 2015 by Albert Nubiola, RoboDK is a spin-off company of ETS University's CoRo lab inMontreal - one of the most prestigious robotics labs in Canada. Having initially supported 200robots from more than 20 robot manufacturers, RoboDK has grown rapidly into offering anextensive library of over 600 robotic arms from 50 robot manufacturers. With more than 50partners around the world and thousands of active users, it is now used by companies of all sizes,from startups to the world's largest corporations.
