Fanuc introduces latest RoboGuide software

The latest version of Fanuc UK's RoboGuide software is said to be powerful simulation tool. It enables customers and integrators alike to visualise and pre-program a robotic installation in a safe and convenient virtual 3D world before putting plans into effect.

As well as being able to predict and forestall potential new-build issues, RoboGuide gives customers a useful tool to scope out changing requirements and better plan for project upgrades. It can pre-empt – and help prevent – costly damage to the robot and potential injuries to co-workers. RoboGuide is available to end users as an option when incorporating Fanuc robots into a production line, as well as to system integrators. It provides an offline platform for accurate and time-efficient simulation of location and product-specific handling. So, for example, users can plan around a post or pillar in the real world, as long as it is modelled in the simulation.
