RoboLive® | Transparency for Production Robots

GET TO KNOW YOUR PRODUCTION PROCESSES.

Optimize your factory for efficiency and quality with RoboLive^®, a comprehensive set of robotic analysis tools.

PROCESS VISUALIZATION

Process Visualization is one of RoboLive^®’s most powerful features. In a single click, get an automatic compilation of all your existing process data, visualized on a CAD model of the product or part. You’ll also get access to recordings of production history and be able quickly highlight what’s changed from shift to shift.

RoboLive^® provides access to all the relevant information needed to understand your production processes in a way that anyone—not just trained specialists—can understand. From a terminal running RoboLive^®, maintenance personnel can easily see and understand issues, then implement necessary corrective actions.

SEE IT IN ACTION:

With RoboLive^®‘s Process Visualization, you can identity problems and their causes directly. That means making changes and fixing issues before they occur, rather than relying on a costly and expensive iterative manual quality assurance process.

CONDITION AFTER ROBOT PROGRAMMING

Process visualization reveals incorrectly named process points and inaccurately programmed frame data.

RENAMING AND REASSIGNING

The correct processes are identified and assigned so that they can be corrected manually.

FRAMA DATA CORRECTION

The correct frame data is also identified for manual correction.

ACTUAL DATA CORRECTION

Since the deviations are now clearly recognizable, process points can be adjusted to the planned data.

1. STARTING STATE

Robot program does not match real-world conditions.

2. SIMULATION

Calibration points are created in the simulated environment.

3. PROGRAMMING

Calibration points are taught in reality.

4. CALIBRATION

RoboLive® adjusts your robot program according to the calibration points.

5. FINAL RESULT

The correct robot program is a perfect match for the real-world conditions.

PATH CALIBRATION

Application of simulated paths in commissioning can be a challenge: real factory conditions differ from virtual environments, so virtually commissioned programs may not line up properly or function as expected. The solution, manual reteaching, is a costly and time-consuming workaround.

RoboLive^® offers a new way to make use of your simulations, letting your technicians adapt virtual robot paths to on-site conditions automatically.

RoboLive^®’s Path Calibration tool takes the data of a robot program (process points as well as frame data) and compares it to calibration points in both the physical and simulated factory environment. The software then calculates the best possible overlay of the calibration points, adapting the program to real conditions with minimal need for manual adjustment.

SOLUTIONS THAT WORK FOR YOU:

Path calibration is a useful toolset for manufacturers and system integrators alike. RoboLive®’s path calibration allows you to automatically correct and align virtually commissioned paths, which improves efficiency at multiple points in the manufacturing process:

REALIZE OFFLINE PROGRAMS

Make the most of your simulations: Adapt offline programs to real factory conditions without manual intervention.

relocate equipment

Reposition fixtures, tools, and even entire robots with minimal effort and downtime.

standardize paths

Once optimized, complex robot paths can be reused on standard equipment throughout the plant.

VEHICLE-O DETERMINATION

The traditional process for calculating vehicle-0 frames makes commissioning of new systems more of a hassle than it needs to be. Specialized teams and equipment are major expenses, while lengthy measuring processes can cost expensive downtime.

RoboLive^® provides a new way to address this common challenge. Instead of manual calculation with expensive laser measurement, RoboLive^® uses existing data and reference points applied to an advanced set of algorithms to determine the origin of a part relative to the robot.

Your corrected, accurate frames will be ready to use with minimal manual intervention, meaning you’re projects will be ready to go that much faster.

SOFTWARE OVERVIEW

Find useful robot information for programming, monitoring, and analysis—always up to date. RoboLive^®summarizes all robot-specific information and data in tabular form. This eliminates the need to compile multiple documents and robot archives and simplifies programming, monitoring and analysis.
