Virtual commissioning in measurement robotics

Offline programming using RobSimulation is already being used successfully and efficiently by customers. For example, a setup for the quality testing of a force feedback measurement with touch control elements has been realised:

The measurement task consists of actuating touch controls in the vehicle interior and recording the force feedback response of the control element. The test positions and specifications are specified by the customer; for example, the control element must be operated vertically. Depending on the control element, different operating forces and operating frequencies are required. In RobSimulation, the vertical testpositions can be defined quickly and easily on the test specimen. The robot sequence can be programmed in RobFlow with visual feedback from RobSimulation. This ensures that the operating forces, frequencies and test positions meet customer specifications.

Using CAD data and the desired measuring positions, the measuring cell could be set up virtually at Battenberg and the measuring sequence created according to customer specifications. The measurement task could then be transferred to the real robot at the customer's premises and the quality inspection carried out directly.

Virtual commissioning can be carried out either as a Battenberg service or entirely on the customer's premises.
