First-time customers can program their collaborative robots and industrial robots at no cost inside minutes
System integrators and skilled customers can develop, share, and customise refined applications for application-specific options
ABB Robotics has expanded the scope of its free Wizard Straightforward Programming software program for collaborative robots to incorporate all six-axis industrial robots operating on an ABB OmniCore™ controller. This makes ABB the primary robotic producer to supply an easy-to-use no-code programming software for cobots and six-axis industrial robots. This lowers the boundaries to automation for early adopters and supplies ecosystem companions and integrators with an environment friendly software to help their clients.
„If we need to promote and advance the usage of robotic automation on a world scale, we have to deal with the challenges and alternatives of the business,“ says Marc Segura, head of the robotics division at ABB. „By including our six-axis industrial robots to Wizard Straightforward Programming, ABB Robotics is responding to the abilities scarcity and growing demand from manufacturing corporations for easy and easy-to-use programming software program for his or her robotic fleets.“
Create robotic purposes with out prior coaching
Wizard Straightforward Programming makes use of a graphic, drag-and-drop, no-code programming method designed to simplify the event of robotic purposes. The software program permits each first-time and skilled robotic customers to create purposes in minutes – a activity that usually requires every week of coaching and one other week of improvement work. Since its launch in 2020, Wizard Straightforward Programming has been utilized in a variety of purposes along with ABB’s YuMi, SWIFTI™ and GoFa™ collaborative robots.
The software program affords customers the chance to create full applications for purposes reminiscent of arc welding or machine tending with out prior coaching. An intuitive graphical person interface permits you to customise current applications and pre-programmed blocks to regulate varied actions – from robotic actions to sign directions and pressure management – for added flexibility.
Effectively generate particular codes for particular purposes
Wizard Straightforward Programming additionally consists of Ability Creator, a software that helps system integrators and specialists create customized, application-specific wizard blocks for his or her clients. Ability Creator simplifies the creation of recent blocks for extremely particular duties reminiscent of machine tending and welding, but additionally for tough purposes reminiscent of medical exams. Ecosystem companions who develop equipment reminiscent of grippers, feeding techniques and cameras may have entry to a digital software that enables them to share product-specific functionalities no matter the kind of robotic for use.
Wizard Straightforward Programming is pre-installed on all cobots and new six-axis industrial robots operating ABB’s OmniCore controller. The main robotic controllers of the OmniCore household are characterised by an vitality saving potential of 20 p.c on common and a excessive diploma of future-proofing – due to built-in digital connectivity and over 1,000 scalable capabilities.
