The export possibilities with Kuka.Sim 4.0 have been upgraded. With the Arc Welding add-on, users speed up their offline programming for welding applications: approach positions or the optimum orientation of the robot for the welding process can be defined, for example. This creates a digital twin for greater planning reliability and the best possible implementation.įor this, Kuka uses behavioral emulators such as WinMOD and SIMIT. The new Connectivity add-on allows users to commission the cell virtually. With the Kuka.Sim Modeling add-on, a customized component library can be created from your own CAD data – such as kinematic systems, sensors, material flow or physical behavior. The software now also supports the new KR SCARA and KR Delta robots from Kuka. The 100-percent data consistency also ensures that the virtual controller and the real controller work with the same data. A visual program tree makes programming possible even without KRL knowledge, for example.

The new Kuka Robot Language (KRL) editor provides two user views for programming the robot: one for experts and one for beginners. Kuka.Sim 4.0 facilitates the planning of robot applications in many industries, from consumer goods to electronics and automotive – particularly for component suppliers. Roland Ritter, Kuka portfolio manager, says: “The total area required for the cell can thus be significantly reduced during planning.” In addition, safety spaces can be configured graphically in 3D and the stopping behavior of the robots can be simulated. Besides importing CAD data, the new version enables easy offline programming of the robot and fast cycle time analysis.
