ArtiMinds RPS Force Module

ArtiMinds Robot Programming Suite (RPS) for cobots from Universal Robots represents a new generation of automation. It is flexible, universal, robust and manufacturer independent, thus combining the best of both human labor and classical automation. It combines online and offline programming in a unique, intuitive package to easily create demanding sensor adaptive robot programs without writing a single line of code. ArtiMinds RPS supports you during each phase of automation setup: from fast and efficient robot programming and simulation up to commissioning, operation and optimization of your robot and the application. This basic software package features easy and ultra-fast online and offline programming via robot skill templates with fully automatic robot code generation.ArtiMinds RPS is trusted and approved by top multi-national companies and has received several awards for its innovative and intuitive approach of robot programming.

The ArtiMinds RPS +Force module is designed to make your robot intelligent. With force-controlled motions the robot can address process variances in real-time by adapting its motion like a human, based on readings from a force-torque-sensor.Adding tactile sensitivity to your robot vastly increases the number of tasks which can be automated robustly. Choose the force-torque-sensor that suits your task perfectly and solve even the toughest automation challenges in no time, like cable wiring, electronics assembly, tight-tolerance fitting, plastic-part mounting or polishing. Force-controlled motions are always decisive when: workpiece poses vary and cannot be easily fixed deformable materials lead to not fully predictable workpiece behavior workpieces change surface properties or geometry process forces and torques have to be monitored workpieces have to be handled with great care ArtiMinds RPS +Force is an optional add-on to the award winning ArtiMinds RPS software

The ArtiMinds RPS +Vision module enables you to leverage the power of standard vision solutions in your robot application. Choose the best vision solution for your application from manufactures like Cognex, Keyence, SensoPart, Sick or Halcon. ArtiMinds RPS automatically generates the required URScript code to communicate with vision hardware, regardless whether you chose wrist or stationary mounting.The program will adapt the robot motion based on the vision detection results. Vision enables you to: handle different positions and types of workpieces cope with varying working environments adapt to tolerances of workpieces, holders and grippers perform quality inspection tasks You don’t have to write a single line of URScript code! Use the predefined templates and wizards of ArtiMinds RPS to program your robot in only a few steps. ArtiMinds RPS + Vision is an optional add-on to the award-winning ArtiMinds RPS software.

ArtiMinds Essentials is a free URCap plugin for Universal Robots to add a force-torque sensor based “Freedrive” mode. Just grab the robot and move it in a fast and precise way based on force-torque measurements. You can drastically reduce teaching time for complex waypoints by physically aligning your tool with the environment. Easily align your gripper with a holder to reduce lateral forces and resolve jammings. You can lock specific motion directions on-the-fly, e.g. to move out of a holder in the z direction. For polishing, grinding or gluing applications you can guide the robot along a continuous path, capture it and play it with the robot. The captured path can be easily integrated into an existing .urp file.
