Inbolt has launched CAD-based robot programming and an expanded robot control capability designed to connect virtual robot commissioning with real-time factory execution. The company’s Inbolt Robot Programming tool allows engineers to build robot programs directly from CAD models. At runtime, the Inbolt Vision Model locates the physical part and adjusts the robot’s motion so it can execute the planned path in the factory environment. The release is available for FANUC, Universal Robots and Yaskawa robots for dynamic, moving-line applications, with additional robot brand coverage planned.
The company also expanded Inbolt Robot Control to run natively on Yaskawa robots. The platform already supports FANUC, KUKA, ABB, Universal Robots and Comau. Inbolt said Robot Control streams corrected joint commands into the robot’s servo loop at native control frequency, linking the output of its vision model with robot motion. Inbolt said updates to its Vision Model include improved global part localization models and support for tracking a wider range of parts. Its Inbolt Studio dashboard now displays part position, detection status and live performance tests for individual use cases, giving robotics engineers tools to evaluate system performance at specific stations.
The company is presenting the technology through four demonstrations at Automate 2026 in Chicago, including bin picking with a robot-mounted 3D vision system, dynamic dispensing on a moving engine, workpiece tracking and de-racking parts. Inbolt’s technology is also being shown with FANUC collaborative robots in bolt-tightening demonstrations on moving engine blocks.
