Robot Studio 3X & 5X, Robcad interface

Jonathon

I'm purchasing both Robot Studion 3x & 5x for both controllers.  I want to know if both versoins have a Robcad interface.  I plan on programming with R-S then uploading to Robcad.  Also, how much information will go to Robcad.. the targets for sure, how about "fine" point info, or speed?  Where can I find literature on the  technical side of performing the upload to Robcad?

Hi Jonathon,

The Robcad addin is only available for RobotStudio 3x at the moment. The Robcad addin is only for importing a Robcad station (the 3D models) into RobotStudio. There is no functionality for upload to Robcad.

I am not a Robcad expert, but I am quite sure that it's possible to import a rapid program (ABB robot program) into Robcad without any special interface.

So if that is possible, I suggest that you program the robot in RobotStudio, save the program as a rapid program (*.prg) and then import the rapid program into Robcad.

Dear Anders:

You make the target transfer sound much simpler than I anticipated.  The 3D modeling will be the same IGES data as that imported to R-S.

I'll post my results when they come in.  - Jonathon
