Additional Product Information
Adept Digital Workcell is a powerful 3-D virtual robot and cell simulator focusing on small parts assembly and material handling applications. Using AdeptWindows PC software you now have the ability to program virtual workcells using native AIM and V+. Execute programs in real-time on the AdeptWindows Controller to drive the virtual robots and cell peripherals. Write, debug, and execute your application code without the physical robot or cell hardware. Adept's PC network solution, AdeptWindows, acts as the programming interface between Adept Digital Workcell and the controller. Take your finished programs, without translation, to the actual robot system. ;Software development productivity is greatly increased since programming and debugging can be done before or concurrent to cell assembly. Adept Digital Workcell is integral to Adept's vision of Rapid Deployment Automation (RDA), by even further reducing the time required to implement robot systems.;The benefits of Adept Digital Workcell include: ;Concurrent engineering of software and hardware ;Debug programs in safe virtual environment;Increase programming productivity ;Cut software development lead times and time-to-market ;Valuable training tool ;Standard Features;High End 3-D Graphics ;3-D solid rendering with dynamic real-time view interaction. ;Point & Click User Interface ;Pull-down menus and shortcut toolbars provide ease of use. ;Complete Library of Current Adept Robots and Linear Modules ;Program virtual models of physically and kinematically accurate Adept mechanisms. The AdeptWindows controller automatically detects the virtual robot at start-up and loads the appropriate kinematics and configuration data.;Simulate V+ & AIM programs;Simulate programs written in AIM & V+ via an Ethernet connection to an AdeptWindows Controller using the AdeptWindows programming interface. The programs are executed on the controller, which drive the virtual robot and cell peripherals in the simulated environment.;Continuous Conveyor Tracking;Track parts using sensor interruption or continuous belt conveyors. Belt encoder values are passed from Adept Digital Workcell to the V+ environment.;SmartSWAP ;Exchange or swap existing items in a cell without the need to manually re-establish the component inter-dependencies (e.g. wiring, tooling, parts). ;Template-cells;Use a top-down design approach by modifying generic pre-modeled workcells. Re-position components and use SmartSWAP to quickly design a specific workcell.;Digital IO Monitor;The cells' signal lines are displayed, and can be set high or low during program simulation. Monitor any or all signal lines during the programming debugging process.;Black Box Digital IO;Create completely configurable "black box" cell peripherals with assigned digital IO. Cell IO can be quickly simulated and controlled with these virtual peripherals for even more flexibility.;Robot and Linear Modules Payload Dynamics;Dynamic motor limits of robots and/or linear modules are automatically checked and if saturation occurs a V+ error message is issued.;The Adept Linear Module Planner;Use the worksheet style panel to calculate maximum accelerations, cycle times, and duty cycles for AdeptModules.;MCP Support;Connect a Manual Control Pendant to a CIP (if available) and use it to control the robot in Adept Digital Workcell. This can be an invaluable tool for MCP programming and robot operator training.;Automatic Collision Detection;Automatically identifies collisions and near misses between all or a user specified list of objects during program execution. ;Robot Guided Vision Simulation;Simulates robot guided vision systems which find parts in the correct stable states (AIM only). Locations of parts in the simulation are passed to the AdeptWindows Controller in the world frame.;Parametric Peripherals;Create common tools, devices and peripherals (e.g. grippers, belt and tray conveyors, feeders, pallets, etc.) in literally minutes, by specifying the necessary parameters.;Sensor Simulation;Simulate proximity sensors which detect if parts are in its line of sight and within a specified threshold distance.;Output Data;Bill of Materials ;Wiring Documentation ;Output 2D single frame and video data for;Black & White and Color Postscript,;HPGL/2, DXF, Applix Graphic, TIFF,;JPEG, AVI and MPEG. ;Output 3D video data which can be displayed on Windows NT and UNIX platforms.
