Automatically generate optimum paths for assembly operations in the manufacturing industry

The IPS Path Planner lets simulation engineers import a scene geometry from any CAD system. Any object in the scene can be set as a so called planning object, which IPS will find an efficient path for, provided that the object can be freely assembled along a path. The calculations done by IPS save the engineer a substantial amount of time, which otherwise would have to be put into manual planning of an assembly path free of collision.

Capabilities:

• Automatic calculation of assembly paths

• Path planning with attached elastic wires

• Assembly envelopes

• Clearance analysis

• Export of the robot paths

• Detection and export of obstacles

Benefits:

• Power (high success rate)

• Speed (30 seconds to 10 minutes)

• Easy to use

• Calculation of assembly paths without collisions
