Robotics Simulators: Find Best for 3D Simulations & Debugging

[Carl142]

I am looking for a good robotics simulator. I have heard that RoboLogix is useful for 3D simulations such as tool center point calculations and debugging of programs written using scripting languages. Are there any other robotics simulators out there?

For the money, RoboLogix is by far the best robotics simulator on the market. If you are already using it, you are better off to stick with it. You can try Microsoft Robotics Studio, but it is very cumbersome in comparison to RoboLogix. We started using RoboLogix about six months ago with our 5-axis Fanuc LR200 and it works really good. The palletizing function is excellent and it provides very accurate TCP calculations. I really like the scripting language as well - much easier than ABB or Kawasaki.

Thanks for the information. I am definitely looking for a simulator that will allow me to write my own robotics programs and then test them. We do a lot of palletizing with robots at the company where I work, and tool center point calculations are very useful for some of the welding processes that we perform. Do you know who sells RoboLogix?

RoboLogix is sold in North America by Logic Design Inc. Their website is www.Logicdesign.com[/url]. I think you can also purchase it directly from RoboLogix and their website is [url]www.RoboLogix.com[/URL].
