Palletizing Builder with an actual robot

Please read our Legal Disclaimer before executing any steps on this article. 

Please refer to the Palletizing Builder in simulation for setting up a Palletizing Builder project.

Palletizing Builder allows you to transfer the calculated pallet positions directly to the robot controller. This requires you to have the WORK coordinate input into the controller which indicates the pallet’s origin relative to the robot arm. Once your project is setup and analyzed, you can click the Export to robot controller button. For transferring the data to the robot controller, you can select the top option and input the controller’s IP address.

Click Next to select the options for calculating the pallet positions. This menu is similar to the menu for communicating this data to Wincaps III.

Clicking Start will calculate points and perform the motion range check and search pallet position if these options are selected. If the calculations are successful, the software will transfer the positions and any calculated WORK coordinates to the controller. You can create a program to move the robot to the positions generated for the pallet.
