跟随它e-Series launch在Automatica 2018，Universal Robots（UR）上周在芝加哥的IMTS 2018上发布了其应用程序构建器工具。UR表示，其应用程序构建器可以简化机器人细胞的配置和部署，同时提高机器人素养和功能。
应用程序构建器会引导用户完成构建机器人应用程序的整个过程。在线配置工具提供了一个逐步的过程，可以选择正确的机器人和武器末端工具，浏览不同配置选项的利弊，并学习完成完整解决方案所需的技能。
在UR的应用程序构建器的启动时，可以使用三个COBOT应用程序：机器趋势，组装和包装。应用程序构建器为特定应用程序提供了完整的程序模板；用户可以浏览配置问题，以帮助定义成本和吞吐量需求的最合适的最终效应器。
还向用户展示了如何将机器人控制器与其他设备接口，以及如何针对特定应用要求编程机器人，例如用于螺丝驾驶应用程序的扭矩或用于托盘堆叠的模式设置。还在进行其他应用程序。
Application Builder enables DIY robotics
For UR President Jürgen Von Hollen, the new Application Builder is just one example of the company’s overall core principle: simplicity.
“With the application configurator, we are taking a complex idea and saying, ‘what do I actually need, how do I configure the actual application.’ We see our role at Universal Robots as taking the complex automation and robotics that have previously made people say, ‘wow, it’s only for the large companies, we need an automation engineer,’ and telling them ‘no, no, you don’t have to do that.’ We make it easy. We call it a Do-it-Yourself kind of philosophy.”

Von Hollen explained that UR products are just as at home in smaller to medium-sized operations as they are with larger companies.
“The original concept was this idea of ease of use. The sweet spot is with the small and medium-sized companies. Small and medium-sized companies have been left out of the automation and robotics scope of traditional robots. When we looked at it and launched our company, it was really about the SME.”
He continues, “small to medium-sized groups typically have low volumes, but high product mix. They’re doing five or six product changes a day, right, and they’re making 100 of these, 60 of these, 2,000 of those and that has been very, very difficult to automate in the past. That’s where our focus has been, and as we start growing, it’s been about trying to get that message out there.”

UR used a VR headset so IMTS attendees could enter into a virtual world of a working robot application. “Application Builder gives anyone the tools and skills they need to quickly configure and deploy a successful robot application with complete confidence that it will satisfy their requirements,” says Stefan Stubgaard, Head of UR’s Global Competence Center.
