SimPRO software for Fanuc Robotics

Offline programming and simulation (Roboguide)

What is SimPRO?

SimPRO software allows users to simulate an entire robotic cell or process in a virtual 3-D space. It is also a great tool to have to learn how to program a fanuc robot and designing the entire cell. The software is designed so that the robot and teach pendant operate exactly like a real robot. The software comes with all the different models and software versions of the robots available to give you the most accurate model.

SimPRO Features and benefits

  • Simple robot teaching
    Easy creation of robot paths by teaching positions. Select a surface or corner or other feature and create your point data or program with the standard teach pendant.

  • Check Robot reach or interference
    Prevent damage to the actual robot by testing it in SimPRO first

  • Built-in CAD models
    Includes many commonly used fixtures, tables, conveyers and end of arm tools. 

  • Import of CAD and IGES files
    take all your equipment in the cell and load into SimPRO for the most accurate virtual robot simulation

  • Optimization
    Drag your points around the cell to quickly generate a more efficient and the best path.

  • Add any robot option
    to the virtual robot and see what it does and how it works before your purchase it.

  • Import a backup of your robot
    Creates an exact replicate model of your robot configuration and programs

  • Learn how to program robots
    the best tool out there to use. Its an exact replicate of an actual robot.

  • Animation AVI 
    Record a full video simulation to present, clarify, justify or quote a project.

  • Cad to path
    New feature Fanuc recently added that can be used to automatically generatepaths based on the features within the CAD model.
