The FANUC R30iB iPendant touch combines user-friendly operation with speed. Graphical iPendant Editor; time saving direct access to two additional axes.

I feel really amazed about this development and I decided to use RoboDK for the KUKA robot, I am working with, in my company. I tried to install it on Ubuntu 16.04 (64bit), but I am struggling with an error message all day now (cannot find the Qt platform plugin “xcb” ). The latest python is installed and – as far as I know – all the Qt platform plugins required as well. I was unable to find any solution on the web or in the RoboDK-Forum – surely it’s a quite simple solution, but without help I will be unable to implement RoboDK for the upcoming tasks. Thanks a lot!

This is very interesting to read! I’ve been programming ABB robots for about 10 years now and it is by far the easiest language I have had to deal with. Fanuc is so clunky to work with, and you can’t edit it offline without a special program. Rapid feels very similar to Python. If memory serves I think Fortran was very similar. Quaternions were ABB’s solution for a more compact method of solid body transformations as opposed to the more computationally intense homogeneous transform matrices. Maybe it’s because I’ve been using it so long, but I find it very easy to work with.

1,0,0,0 is when two coordinate systems are aligned in the XYZ axes. Very compact and efficient.

The ABB is a programmer’s and mathematicians robot as far as I can tell. I stumbled upon your site because I am trying to find if anyone has figured out a way to run other manufacturers robots on different operating systems. Rpg maker vx ace modern tilesets free download. I would love to see Rapid as the standard language. I’m going to enjoy trying out your SDK!

This a good explanation by you as i understand few of your technical words. Thanks for that Let me introduce myself. I am a robot teach pendent programmer fanuc abb etc. Also robot simulator and olp programmer of process simulate robcad roboguide etc.

Well i dont know much about python c++ etc. Recently i came across a requirement of my customer where they need to program kuka robot for thermal spray coatings of turbine blades.

If you look at the turbine blades its having a very complex geometry and tricky to generate offline program, as you know process simulate or robcad is difficult for complex geometry for olp. My requirement is i need to generate kuka olp where as that software should be good enough to support complex geometries. Well i mean to say it should be very easy to generate robot paths using 3D cad native files. Hovc thermal spray is used in coatings for longetivity of materials. I can suggest your software to the customer but at the end its all depends on customer and the software easiness. Thanks for your explanation.
