Robot Offline Programming (OLP) Solution

Robot Offline Programming (OLP) or Offline Robot Programming (OLRP) moves robot programming from the physical shop floor into a powerful computer simulation. By creating a virtual work cell, you can develop and test programs while the real robot stays in production.

This “simulate before you operate” strategy offers critical advantages of robot offline programming:

  • Eliminates Production Downtime: Keep your robot working and earning.
  • Prevents Costly Errors: Detect collisions and issues in the simulation, not on your equipment.
  • Maximizes Your ROI: Drastically speeds up programming for all types of production runs.

Intuitive Robot Offline Programming Workflow

Robotmaster’s offline programming (OLP) workflow is designed to be simple and fast. You don’t need to teach manually or write complex code. Whether you are programming for laser cutting, surface grinding, or additive manufacturing, start by importing your 3D CAD model into a workspace that looks like your actual robot setup.

With Robotmaster’s offline programming (OLP) workflow, you can go from a 3D model to production-ready code in just a few clicks. The process is simple:

  • Import & Visualize: Load your 3D CAD model into a virtual replica of your robot cell.
  • Generate & Simulate: Instantly create toolpaths and automatically simulate motion to detect errors.
  • Optimize & Validate: Use powerful tools to fix collisions and optimize paths for peak performance.
  • Export Code: Generate brand-specific code compatible with all major robot manufacturers.

“Our goal was to revolutionize the way robots are programmed by creating software that is so intuitive anyone can use it. It enables customers to enjoy error-free task-based programming that takes collisions, singularities, joint collisions, and other robotic errors into account before running the program live on a robot. This in turn makes it possible to program new jobs without interrupting the robot, minimizing downtime and instantly increasing productivity and profitability.”

– Garen Cakmak, leader of Hypertherm’s Robotic Software team.

Advanced Software Features for Robot Integration
