Abstract

This presentation deals with the development of a new off-line programming system for industrial robots. Especially when using industrial robots in flexible manufacturing cells for medium and small batch production the frequent reprogramming of robots on-line, e. g. TEACH-IN, could increase the idle-time of the whole system to an unacceptable amount. Here, the extensive off-line programming of industrial robots in the process planning department, as it is done with NC-machine tools, would be an adequate solution. For these purposes the programming system ROBEX has been designed. Its structure resembles the well-known APT- EXAPT System, thus it is independent of the type of robot and the type of computer. In this paper the main features of ROBEX are described including its applicability to several different fields and to the generation of world models.
