ABB’s augmented reality app helps simplify robot installations

ABB has released the Augmented Reality Viewer app for its PC-based RobotStudio offline programming software. The app can be used to test any model created in the software, enabling users to get an idea of the size and scale of a robot or robot cell and how it can be deployed on a factory floor to fit around any existing production equipment. Using AR technology, the app overlays the modeled system into the real-life production environment, and the user can scale it to full size, rotate it through a variety of angles, and watch the model in action.
A timeline feature lets the user check the cycle time and go to a certain point in the animation to find ways to enhance performance or to pinpoint a potential problem.
