FANUC has released Version 10 of its ROBOGUIDE software, an offline robot programming and simulation platform used for designing and testing robotic automation systems. According to the company, this latest version introduces several updates aimed at improving performance, visualization, and user interaction.
Among the primary enhancements in ROBOGUIDE V10 is the integration of virtual reality capabilities, which allow users to interact with 3D simulations in an immersive environment. The software has also been upgraded to a 64-bit architecture, which FANUC states will support higher processing capacity and improve performance for complex automation systems.
The user interface has been redesigned with features such as a ribbon-style toolbar, customizable windows, and improved graphics. A new drag-and-drop function has been added to facilitate robot configuration within simulation environments. In addition, the software now supports a wider range of native CAD formats, aimed at streamlining the integration and adjustment of automation layouts.
Eric Potter, general manager of FANUC America’s Robot Application Segment, stated that the software is designed to allow manufacturers to evaluate automation setups virtually before physical implementation. ROBOGUIDE V10 is available alongside the previous version under a shared license. Further information and tutorials are accessible through FANUC America’s Tech Transfer platform.
