Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Robotmaster technical resources library?

Our library provides essential documentation for offline programming. You can download specific guides for Robotmaster V7 installation, CAD configuration, and strategies for solving complex kinematic issues.

Do these guides cover robot singularities?

Yes. The “Kinematics Guide” specifically addresses 6-axis robot challenges. It explains how to manage singularities, avoid collisions, and understand the difference between tool frame (TCP) and user frame, which are critical concepts for any integrator.

Is there a manual for Process Simulation like Welding?

Absolutely. We offer dedicated documentation for manufacturing processes. You will find PDF files on setting up welding parameters, cutting paths, and spraying simulation to optimize your cycle times.

Are these materials suitable for beginners?

Yes. We start with the fundamentals. The “Introduction to Industrial Robots” covers the history (from Unimate to Kuka) and the anatomy of a manipulator (Joints J1 to J6), serving as perfect learning material for students and new engineers.

How do I install the software using these files?

The “V7 Installation Manual” is one of our most popular downloads. It guides you step-by-step through licensing, file importation, and switching between Device Mode and Task Mode.

Why use Offline Programming (OLP)?

Implementing Robotmaster allows you to program robots without stopping production. By using these guides, you ensure that your cell operates at maximum efficiency. Our OLP software bridges the gap between CAD and the physical robot, translating complex geometries into optimized paths. Whether you are dealing with Inverse Kinematics or simple contouring, correct configuration is key. Use our library to standardize your workflow and reduce programming time by up to 70% compared to the teach pendant method.

Glossary of Industrial Robotics Terms

  • TCP (Tool Center Point):

    The defining point of the tool's interaction with the part. Accurate TCP calibration is crucial for successful simulation and manufacturing.

  • Singularity:

    A point in the robot's workspace where a joint loses the ability to move freely (often Wrist singularity). Our kinematics guide provides strategies to predict and avoid this error.

  • O.L.P. (Offline Programming):

    The method of programming robots inside a virtual environment like Robotmaster V7, eliminating the need for physical teaching points.
