IRBCAM has released its latest version of their robotic machining software. It has been completely re-written from the ground up to ensure faster, smoother and simpler operation. It has a new 3d Graphic User Interface and can now utilise the extra memory available on 64 bit systems. Several of the advanced options in the previous version have now been automated making it more user friendly. Some of the new features are:
- External Axis capability – IRBCAM can automatically generate position and Angle for up to 2 external axes. Linear tracks of any length and rotary tables in any axis can be configured to allow for 6,7 and 8 axis machining of any size objects.
- Intelligent Tool Roll Angle – the previous version had this fixed. Now it is fixed as long as possible until a reachability issue is found. It then incrementally adjusts the roll angle until a solution is found.
- CView XY and Z rotation Optimisation – the Optimiser makes it possible to shift the CView co-ordinates or rotate the CView about the Z axis to allow easier setup of the robot ensuring all co-ordinates are reachable.
- Visible CAD model of Part – you can now add a CAD model of the part you are machining for an acurate graphical representation of the toolpath.
