The robot workbench is a tool to simulate industrial grade [[6-Axis Robot]]s, like e.g. [http://kuka.com/ Kuka].
[[Image:Workbench_Robot.svg|64px]]
You can do following tasks:
* set up a simulation environment with a robot and work pieces
* create and fill up trajectories
* decompose features of an CAD part to a trajectory
* simulate the robot movement and reachability
* export the trajectory to a robot program file

accessing the axis and the Tcp. Axes go from 1-6 and are in degree:
Start = rob.Tcp
print Start
print rob.Axis1
move the first axis of the robot:
rob.Axis1 = 5.0
the Tcp has changed (forward kinematic)
print rob.Tcp
move the robot back to start position (reverse kinematic):
rob.Tcp = Start
print rob.Axis1
the same with axis 2:
rob.Axis2 = 5.0
print rob.Tcp
rob.Tcp = Start
print rob.Axis2
Waypoints:
w = Waypoint(Placement(),name="Pt",type="LIN")
print w.Name,w.Type,w.Pos,w.Cont,w.Velocity,w.Base,w.Tool
generate more. The trajectory always finds automatically a unique name for the waypoints
l = [w]
for i in range(5):
l.append(Waypoint(Placement(Vector(0,0,i*100),Vector(1,0,0),0),"LIN","Pt"))
create a trajectory
t = Trajectory(l)
print t

=== Exporting the trajectory ===
The trajectory is exported by Python. That means for every control cabinet type there is a post-processor
Python module. Here is in detail the Kuka post-processor described
from KukaExporter import ExportCompactSub
ExportCompactSub(App.activeDocument().Robot,App.activeDocument().Trajectory,'D:/Temp/TestOut.src')
and that's kind of how it's done:
for w in App.activeDocument().Trajectory.Trajectory.Waypoints:
(A,B,C) = (w.Pos.Rotation.toEuler())
print ("LIN {X %.3f,Y %.3f,Z %.3f,A %.3f,B %.3f,C %.3f} ; %s"%(w.Pos.Base.x,w.Pos.Base.y,w.Pos.Base.z,A,B,C,w.Name))

Introduction

The Robot Workbench is a tool to simulate a standard 6-axis industrial robot, like Kuka.

You can do the following tasks:

  • Set up a simulation environment with a robot and work pieces.
  • Create and fill up movement trajectories.
  • Decompose features of a CAD part to a trajectory.
  • Simulate the robot movement and reaching distance.
  • Export the trajectory to a robot program file.

To get started try the Robot tutorial, and see the programming interface in the RobotExample.py example file.
