The utilities menu allows performing specific tasks:
Calibrate Tool frame (TCP)allows calibrating a robot TCP by providing data from the real setup, such as the joint configurations to reach a point using different orientations. This procedure is usually available from most robot teach pendants. RoboDK allows calibrating a TCP with as many configurations as desired. Using more configurations allows obtaining a more accurate TCP value.Read more about TCP calibration.
Calibrate Reference Frameallows identifying a reference frame with respect to a robot base frame. This allows accurately matching the part from the real setup to the virtual environment.Read more about Reference Frame calibration.
Synchronize External Axesallows setting up one or more external axes and a robot as one robot mechanism. More information available in theExternal Axes section.
Robot Milling projectcan easily convert machine toolpaths to robot programs. RoboDK can import programs made for 5-axis CNC using CAM software, such as generic G-code or APT files. These programs/toolpaths can be easily simulated and converted to robot programs with RoboDK. More information available inthissection.
TheCurve follow project就像一个机器人铣削项目但它允许希利吗cting curves extracted from 3D geometry as toolpaths. It is also possible to selectImport Curveto import 3D curves from CSV or TXT files. These curves must be provided as a list of XYZ points and, optionally, IJK vector. More information available in thecurve follow projectsection.
ThePoint follow project就像一个机器人铣削项目但它允许希利吗cting points extracted from 3D geometry and easily create a robot toolpath. It is also possible to selectImport Pointsto import 3D points from CSV or TXT files. These points must be provided as a list of XYZ points and, optionally, IJK vector. More information available in thepoint follow projectsection.
Select3D print projectto generate a robot 3D printing program for a specific object. The object must be available in the RoboDK station. The 3D printing toolpath is converted to G-code behind the scenes using a Slicer and then treated like a 3-axis machining toolpath. More information available in therobot 3D printingsection.
The Ballbar Accuracy test allows checking the robot performance using a Telescoping Double Ballbar device. More information about robot ballbar testing available here://m.sinclairbody.com/ballbar-test.
Calibrate Robotallows setting up a robot calibration project to improve robot accuracy and find robot error parameters. A calibrated robot can be used in any RoboDK Offline Programming project. Robot calibration usually improves robot accuracy by a factor of 5 or better, depending on the robot model. Robot calibration requires using measurement systems to take robot measurements. Robot accuracy and repeatability can be tested with ISO9283 before and/or after calibration.
