Product description

2.1

Product description

t

The KUKA.Sim product family consists of 2 programs: KUKA.Sim Layout

KUKA.Sim Layout is a program for creating 3D layouts with KUKA robots. It allows different layouts, drafts and robot tasks to be quickly and easily created and compared with each other. With its extensive component library and Plug&Play functionality, it is the ideal simulation software for sales teams for producing concept studies and accessibility a nalyses without cycle time specifications.

KUKA.Sim Pro

KUKA.Sim Pro is used for the complete offline programming of KUKA robots. This product allows the analysis of cycle times and the generation of robot programs. It also enables a real-time connection to the virtual KUKA robot controller (KUKA.OfficeLite). KUKA.Sim Pro is additionally used for building parametric components and defining kinematic systems, which can also be used in KUKA.Sim Layout. KUKA.OfficeLite is included in the KUKA.Sim Pro package. KUKA.Sim Pro comprises the functionality of KUKA.Sim Layout together with an additional application programming interface (.Net API). This interface enables other development environments (e.g. C#) to trigger and influence the simulation in different ways (e.g. starting and controlling). In addition, CAD importers are available in KUKA.Sim Pro.

2.2

Component library

The KUKA.Sim component library is a local database that contains over 1,000 typical layout components (robots, grippers, fences, etc.) for KUKA.Sim. It is installed together with KUKA.Sim. An update of the local KUKA components (e.g. new robot types) is carried out automatically as soon as the computer is connected to the Internet. 2.3

Intended use

Use

The KUKA.Sim software is used for creating 3D layouts with KUKA robots (KUKA.Sim Layout) and also for the offline programming of KUKA robots (KUKA.Sim Pro).

Misuse

Any use or application deviating from the intended use is deemed to be misuse and is not allowed. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from such use. The risk lies entirely with the user. The guarantee claim becomes void in the case of unauthorized modifications to the software which are not carried out or approved by the manufacturer.
