OrbitSim allows operators of most makes and models of
manufacturing robots to simulate all robot activity using their computers, thereby yielding significant cost savings and increases in overall robot usage rates due to the ability to avoid taking robots offline for simulation.

OrbitSim

OrbitSim enables offline robot path simulation by accurately simulating a robot's motion and resolving collisions between the robot and other potential obstructions. The user simply imports CAD file(s) describing the robot and peripherals. The user then imports robot axis coordinate data (e.g., start/ stop points) in XML format. OrbitSim supports any robot that is compliant with the RRS (Realistic Robot Simulation) interface -- which means the majority of robots can be simulated with OrbitSim.

The software can handle concurrent simulation of multiple robots, as well as resources such as positioning devices. Path simulation offers a rich display of all robot movements and any detected collisions. OrbitSim supports robots with multiple axes (viz., up to 32), including external axes such as end-of-arm tooling and robot-on-rail systems. OrbitSim is ideal for extremely high precision applications and supports RRS-based inverse kinematics.
