FANUC America Corporation has officially announced the release of ROBOGUIDE Version 10, which happens to be the latest and most advanced version of its industry-leading offline robot programming and simulation software.

According to certain reports, the stated software is markedly designed to enhance efficiency, visualization, and user experience, thus arriving on the scene as a go-to solution for companies looking to streamline automation design and implementation.

More on the same would reveal how ROBOGUIDE makes it possible for users to create, program, and simulate robotic work cells in 3D without the need for physical prototypes. This it does to significantly cut down on costs and improve accuracy across automation planning.

Talk about the whole value proposition on a slightly deeper level, we begin from the promise of new virtual reality capabilities. These capabilities basically empower users to experience work cells in a fully immersive environment, improving line of sight and spatial awareness like never before.

Such a mechanism also allows for engineers and operators to interact with automation designs in a more intuitive and insightful manner with virtual reality playback and walk through.

Next up, we have a high-performance 64-bit architecture coming into play, which paves the way for ROBOGUIDE to deliver higher performance, increased content capacity, and improved processing power for complex automation systems.

Another detail worth a mention is rooted in the availability of modernized user interface that features a ribbon-style toolbar, floating and docking windows, along with improved graphics, each component coming handy to help ROBOGUIDE V10 make navigation more efficient.

On top of that, the overarching innovation also leverages a new drag-and-drop tool to let users quickly locate and define robots with ease.

Rounding up highlights would be the prospect of enhanced support for native CAD import, a facility focused on simplifying integration and design processes. As a result, ROBOGUIDE can now be expected to support the import of many more native CAD formats, introducing a foundation more straightforward than ever before in the context of importing, adjusting, and optimizing automation layouts.

As for the availability, ROBOGUIDE V10 is now available to users alongside the previous version, sharing a single license and ensuring that FANUC customers can take advantage of the latest advancements in robotic simulation.

Founded in 1982, FANUC America Corporation’s rise up the ranks stems from delivering bleeding-edge CNC systems, robotics, and ROBOMACHINEs. Complementing that would be the company’s bid to provide 24/7, as well as 365 days support.

FANUC’s excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider it has, thus far, completed more than 40 million product installations throughout the globe.

“With the release of our enhanced ROBOGUIDE V10, we’re delivering a smarter, more powerful simulation tool that meets the evolving needs of the automation industry,” said Eric Potter, general manager, Robot Application Segment, at FANUC America. “Across nearly every industry, this immersive simulation software allows manufacturers to effectively visualize work cell effectiveness before actual installation, without the physical need or expense of a prototype setup.”
