Summary
The Robot Programmer uses technical expertise and knowledge of computer simulation technologies to:
Configure Robot Controller Simulation (RCS) in the simulation software
Develop complete robot programs with multiple robot brands (Comau, Kuka, ABB, Fanuc...).
Verify the feasibility of solutions and processes. Find and solve issues before the manufacturing phase.
Validate the cycle time of each station/line. Optimize robot programs and find solutions in case of cycle time issues.
Support Site team during commissioning phase
From small-medium projects to the most complex projects, Robot Programming allows the company to save time and cut down on commissioning costs massively. Simulations done by the Robot Programmer allow to truly verify in details the feasibility of a solution without the necessity to manufacture anything and precisely evaluate the cycle time.
