1. SmartPath Tool
SmartPath provides users with an automated method for determining the orientation of the robot to complete paths. Orientation changes are made based on conflicts detected in the program, including joint limits, joint multi-turns, singularities, collisions, and reach limitations.
2. Tool Manager
This brand new functionality allows users to create a tool list to be stored in the virtual cell environment. It allows the manipulation of tools once brought into the program from CAM software. The tool will automatically update, and automatically align to the gripper or end of robot.
3. Code Importing
OCTOPUZ now has the ability to take existing programs off of robots and import the coordinate data into the software, making the import process much easier.
4. Hide Schema Tool
Toolpaths can now be hidden to make parts more visible. This feature is particularly useful for complex parts that normally would be difficult to manipulate and view without hiding the schemas.
5. Updated Mastercam 2017 Interface
OCTOPUZ now features a new and improved Mastercam interface. This interface is designed to work seamlessly with OCTOPUZ Tool Manager, and provide a better user experience and usability.
OCTOPUZ is an intelligent offline robotic programming and simulation software ideal for any sized company. It offers the ability to program, simulate and generate code for multiple robots, simultaneously, with support for most robot brands in any configuration.
