RoboDK, a supplier of offline programming and simulation software program for robots, has launched RoboDK CAM software program, demonstrating how robotic machining applications will be generated instantly from CAD information.
Designed to assist individuals deploy robots with ease, RoboDK says its new CAM software program can lower robotic machining deployment time “by as much as 40 p.c”.
The stay demonstration will present how simply customers can generate toolpaths and collision-free robotic movement straight from CAD information and execute them in a production-ready setting, with out having to manually construct and tune robotic code line by line.
Robotic machining adoption has been held again by the complexity of conventional strategies of robotic programming. RoboDK CAM addresses this downside by offering a method for producers – together with these with out robotic programming experience – and integrators to maneuver shortly and simply from design to production-ready automation cells.
“When producing robotic machining applications requires robot-specific experience, it turns into a pricey bottleneck,” mentioned Albert Nubiola, CEO, RoboDK.
“At Automate, RoboDK will showcase a unique method to robotic programming the place CAD turns into the place to begin, applications are robotically generated, and deployment turns into a lot sooner and extra repeatable. For producers and integrators, this implies fast automation integration and deployments.”
On the latest Automate Present, RoboDK demonstrated a compact industrial setup that includes a Mecademic robotic to showcase the influence on real-world software workflows:
- CAD-to-robot machining: Toolpaths generated instantly from a CAD mannequin and executed as a robotic machining course of
- Good movement with collision avoidance: A pick-and-place process utilizing automated, collision-free movement planning in a constrained setting
RoboDK CAM permits robotic machining purposes to be deployed sooner, with much less handbook intervention, lowered effort, and larger consistency.
The showcase comes recent on the discharge of RoboDK Model 6.0, which introduces main efficiency and simulation enhancements alongside native CAM assist.
The replace considerably accelerates core operations reminiscent of collision checking and geometry processing (by as much as 10x to 100x instances in some instances) whereas enhancing dealing with of huge level clouds and sophisticated 3D fashions.
RoboDK Model 6.0 additionally expands movement planning capabilities and simulation flexibility, together with enhancements to its collision-free movement planner and new event-based simulation options for modelling extra complicated automation eventualities.
In February 2026, RoboDK software program achieved assist for greater than 1,400 robotic fashions throughout greater than 80 robotic manufacturers. It is a main milestone for software program designed to be a hardware-agnostic device supported by the world’s largest digital library of robotic arms and elements to be used in OLP and simulation.
