RoboDK Features

An extensive library

Featuring more than 1200 different robots from over 50 manufacturers.

Powerful simulation tools

Develop and test robotic processes prior to deployment.

Custom end effectors

Add, simulate and program robot end-effectors from 3D CAD models.

Intuitive interface

Allowing offline programs to be generated without programming skills.

An API and SDK

Allowing RoboDK to be customised for more complex robot processes.

Custom robots

Create, simulate and program custom robots within RoboDK’s interface.

Offline Programming

Offline Programming (or Off-Line Programming) means programming robots outside the production environment. Offline Programming eliminates production downtime caused by shopfloor programming.

Simulation and Offline Programming allows you to study multiple scenarios of a robot work cell before setting up the production cell. Mistakes commonly made in designing a work cell can be predicted prior to deployment.

1. Select Your Robot

Access an extensive library of robots directly from RoboDK. The RoboDK library includes:

Over 1000 robot arms from 50 different robot manufacturers, including: ABB, Fanuc, KUKA, Yaskawa/Motoman, Universal Robots, etc.
External axes such as 1, 2 or 3 axis turntables and linear rails
Easily model and synchronize additional axes

2. Define Your Tool

Load a 3D model of your tool and convert it to a robot tool by drag and dropping it to the robot (supported formats include STL, STEP and IGES).

You can easily click and drag the tool for a quick proof of concept.
You can manually enter the tool coordinates (TCP) as you see them in your robot controller.
Accurately calibrate your robot tools using RoboDK.

3. Load Your 3D Model

Load the 3D model of your part:

Place your 3D model in a reference frame
Easily click and drag your reference frame (also known as the robot coordinate system, or datum) for a quick proof of concept
You can manually enter the coordinates as you see them in your robot controller
Accurately locate the part offline and create your digital twin

4. Simulate Your Toolpath

Create a robot path using RoboDK’s intuitive user interface:

Program your robots like a CNC! Load NC files such as APT or G-code for robot machining
Easily integrate with CAD/CAM software
Access Plug-ins for SolidWorks, Mastercam, Fusion 360, Rhino, Alphacam, WorkNC and TopSolid
Automatically generate error-free paths
Automatically avoid singularities, axis limits and collisions

5. Generate Robot Programs

Generate robot programs offline with just 2 clicks:

More than 70 post processors to support over 40 robot manufacturers, including ABB, KUKA, Fanuc, Yaskawa/Motoman, Universal Robots and more!
No programming experience is required
Easily modify your program sequence using RoboDK’s intuitive interface
Automatically split long programs so they can be loaded in your robot controller

Robot Calibration

Robot calibration is the process of identifying the real geometrical parameters in the kinematic structure of a robot, such as the relative position of joint links in the robot.

Robot calibration improves the accuracy of robots programmed offline (Offline Programming).

With RoboDK you can accomplish robot calibration in less than 20 minutes and achieve a position accuracy of 0.05 to 0.40 mm. Once a robot has been calibrated you can generate accurate robot programs offline using RoboDK’s simulation and offline programming tools.

RoboDK Calibration Key Features

Automated generation of measurements and acquisition
Automated collision avoidance
Works with any 3D or 6D measurement system
Calibrate any 6 DOF robot with up to 30 parameters
Support for over 800 robots
Programs are automatically filtered to improve accuracy
Improve robot accuracy to 0.05 to 0.40 mm
