Ency updates hybrid robot programming platform with multi-brand and 3D vision capabilities

by

Ency Software has released a major update to its Ency Hyper platform, adding support for mixed-brand robot cells, SCARA robots, and integrated 3D vision.

The Cyprus-based company says the latest version strengthens its hybrid programming approach, which combines offline simulation with real-time interaction on physical robots.

The system allows users to prepare and verify programs digitally before refining them on the shop floor, aiming to reduce downtime and speed up deployment. [Read more…] about Ency updates hybrid robot programming platform with multi-brand and 3D vision capabilities

The future of industrial robot programming: Easier, faster, more intuitive

by

For decades, industrial robots have grown steadily more capable. Modern robot arms can move faster, more smoothly and more precisely than ever before, executing complex, multi-axis motion with sub-millimetre repeatability in harsh industrial environments.

Yet for many manufacturers, programming these machines remains one of the biggest obstacles to wider automation. The issue is not that robot software is inherently weaker than robot hardware, nor that robots are approaching human-level dexterity.

Rather, it is that the ways humans interact with industrial robots have not kept pace with the mechanical capabilities of the machines themselves.

As factories face labour shortages, shorter product cycles and rising product variation, this mismatch between robot potential and programming effort is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. [Read more…] about The future of industrial robot programming: Easier, faster, more intuitive

Fanuc unveils ‘enhanced, next-generation’ robot simulation software
