ROBOTMASTER · OFFLINE PROGRAMMING

From CAD paths. To robot programs.

Robotmaster is offline programming software that turns CAD data into paths, helps review and optimize robot motion in a virtual cell, and generates robot programs for deployment.

01 / ABOUT ROBOTMASTER

Keep production moving. Prepare programs offline.

Offline programming (OLP) prepares programs on a computer rather than directly at the robot. It can reduce repetitive teaching for complex shapes and frequent part changes, while enabling cell layout and feasibility reviews before installation.

01

High-mix production

Revise and review paths from CAD when parts change.

02

Complex shapes & paths

Evaluate continuous machining, welding and surface-processing paths.

03

Virtual review, physical validation

Follow simulation with frame/tool calibration and physical commissioning.

02 / KEY FEATURES

From design data to robot motion. One connected engineering workflow.

01

Cell layout & planning

Model robots, parts, tools, fixtures and surrounding equipment to review workspace and reach.

02

CAD/CAM-to-path programming

Build paths from geometry and process requirements, then translate CAD/CAM trajectories into robot motion.

03

Tool orientation & optimization

Adjust tool orientation and robot configuration; review and resolve singularities, joint limits and reach issues.

04

Simulation & collision review

Review motion and interference in the virtual cell. Reliable results depend on an accurate model of the installation.

05

External axes & multiple robots

Program systems with rails, rotary positioners or multiple robots, subject to configuration compatibility.

06

Robot program generation

Generate code with the appropriate postprocessor, then proceed to calibration and on-site motion validation.

Frequently asked questions

01Can I prepare programs without stopping production?

Prepare paths and programs on a PC while the robot is producing. Deployment, frame checks and physical validation may still require controlled stops and on-site procedures.

02Does a listed brand mean every robot is supported?

No. Check the model, controller, software version, external axes, process modules and postprocessor together.

03Does simulation remove the need for calibration?

Calibration and commissioning remain necessary. Align real and virtual frames, tools and part positions, then verify motion and process quality on site. Software does not correct faulty hardware or poor robot mastering.

04What information is needed for an evaluation?

Prepare part CAD, process and quality requirements, robot/controller details, tools, fixtures, external axes, cell layout and production conditions.

05How much training and time saving should I expect?

This depends on process complexity, user experience and configuration. Confirm training/support scope separately and assess savings against actual parts and the existing workflow.

06How do I check PC, license and update requirements?

Use the official system requirements for the version being installed. Verify OS, CPU, RAM and graphics, then confirm licensing, maintenance and supported versions against your agreement and supply channel.
