Diversified products and short product lifecycle require more complex and faster development of production equipment.
Global shortage of labor and soaring labor costs make it difficult to recruit engineers.
Although a control program is created and debugged after mechanical design and operation specification design, unexpected operation is observed during verification on physical devices. This requires rework of design.
Development according to inadequate operation specifications requires frequent addition and modification of the specifications, resulting in long development time.
Operation of a created control program can be verified immediately in a virtual environment. This improves program accuracy during the design process, reducing rework at verification on physical devices and saving development time.
Simulations can be used to test feasibility during process design or to share the same understanding between mechanical and electrical designers during operation design, improving design quality and significantly boosting the engineering efficiency of equipment.
Use only the Sysmac Studio with 3D CAD data* for 3D simulations. Improved design quality increases the engineering efficiency of equipment.
There is no need to install expensive CAD software, reducing introduction costs.
* 3D CAD data supports STEP/IGES.
Introducing example of simulation of Pick & Place machine (1 minute and 13 seconds)
The motion of parts in equipment can be simulated in 3D by configuring settings without previously required Shape Script programming.
| Behavior type | Image | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Loader |  |
Displays 3D shape data as a part at a specified position. |
| Unloader |  |
Hides a part at a specified position. |
| Clamp |  |
Grasps and releases a part with a robot hand. |
| Conveyor |  |
Moves a part on a conveyor. |
| Push |  |
Pushes a part with a component such as a cylinder. |
| Sensor |  |
Detects a part with a sensor. (The ON/OFF state is changed in the ladder program.) |
| Physics |  |
Drops a part or slides it down a slope. |
In addition to mechanical components, custom mechanical components and parallel mechanism components can be simulated in 3D.
【Components That Custom Mechanics Realize】
Electric cylinder
Electric chuck
Custom robot (Parallel Link, Serial)
Custom mechanical (Linear - rotational compound mechanism）
Wizard-based configuration for simulation using 3D CAD models is much easier than operation of software from CAD manufacturers.
Introducing how to add a mechanism for simulate (1 minute and 05 seconds)
3D data can be easily reused by using an OpenUSD file.
Introducing how to use OpenUSD file for simulate (1 minute and 17 seconds)
No special programs are required for simulation using sensors and solenoids (e.g., cylinder and chuck), which significantly reduces setup time for 3D simulation.
