ABB Robotic Arm Offline Programming System

The offline programming technology of industrial robots is more and more widely used because it can effectively improve work efficiency. A DXF drawing file is a file generated by CAD that can serve as a bridge for data exchange with other software. Through experiments, this paper combines CAD-generated DXF drawing files with ABB robotic arm to realize data extraction of CAD drawings, and automatic generation and storage of robotic arm running programs, which are imported into the robot arm, so that the robot arm can be made according to CAD. The trajectory on the drawing performs the welding function. The simulation of path planning was carried out under the Robot studio software developed by ABB Robotics to meet the experimental requirements. The realization of this off-line programming system achieves the following two purposes. One is to assist non-control professional teaching, to help understand the simulation and actual production and processing of industrial robot arm; the second is to improve the efficiency of industrial robot arm programming and realize full automation programming.
