We’ve added a lot of features and updates to RoboDK recently. From a modernized interface to advanced curve and point operations, the functionality of this powerful robot programming software continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 20 of the most impactful new updates and features that we’ve added\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Improved Robot Drivers and Post Processors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are always adding new robot models to our ever-expanding Robot Library<\/a>. We now support over a thousand models from dozens of brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the latest releases of RoboDK, we’ve improved the drivers and post processors for brands including UR, Elite Robots, Fanuc, Kinova, Techman, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Support for 5-Axis and 6-Axis CNC Modeling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For years, we have heralded the benefits of robotic machining<\/a> as an alternative to conventional CNC modeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RoboDK now includes an option to model 5-axis and 6-axis CNC. You can now easily convert a multi-axis machining job for robot machining.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Modernized Icons and Enhanced UI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aesthetic tastes change often in software design, which also means our users change in what you find intuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a focus on improving user experience, the latest updates feature modernized icons and improve user interface elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Enhanced Add-in Manager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RoboDK Add-ins<\/a> are a powerful feature to allow developers to extend the core software features to suit particular needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have updated the add-in manager to facilitate a more seamless integration of custom add-ins into RoboDK. This includes improving support for legacy add-in packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Advanced Curve and Point Operations via API<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Curve and point following are a core feature for many robot operations, including welding, drilling, and painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recently improved the functionality of curve and point operations when you are using the RoboDK API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Robust Event Feedback for Plugins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are a plugin developer, you will benefit from our improved event feedback mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These updates ensure better integration and responsiveness of custom plugins within RoboDK. They include an improved event channel through the API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Increased Stability and Crash Fixes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As with any software package, there are often small tweaks to be made to eliminate the occasional instability in some use cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are always working to update the program to improve stability across all use cases, even those that include a lot of custom program elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Introduction of RoboDK CNC Add-in<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We also recently introduced a collection of tools to facilitate using RoboDK like a CNC machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RoboDK CNC<\/a> add-in includes allowing execution of large programs up to an unlimited number of lines in streaming mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Comprehensive G-Code Handling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RoboDK’s ability to act as a tool to program robots with G-Code<\/a> is extremely beneficial for machinists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve made some changes to our G-Code parser, including the ability to reliably map to digital outputs and include brackets within your code for clearer documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Added New Robot Brands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As well as adding new robot models all the time, we also regularly add compatibility for new robot brands to support emerging robot manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, we have added support for robots from the brand Productive Robotics<\/a>, a brand originating in the motion picture industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

11. Improved KUKA Program Transfer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One exciting development for users of KUKA robots is our addition of KUKA Bridge<\/a>, a driver that allows more efficient operations and remote program control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Refined Python API and Type Hints<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Python API<\/a> allows you to access RoboDK’s advanced functionality through one of the most popular programming language in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have refined the Python API in various ways, including adding hints for better development practices and easier integration with Python 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Blender Export Enhancements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blender is a powerful program for rendering your robotic simulations in a more visually appealing way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, we have made several key improvements to the Blender export functionality, making it even easier to export and visualize your projects in Blender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Advanced Simulation Capabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RoboDK’s simulation capabilities are always growing, as we add new functionalities and respond to user needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some recent additions to the software’s advanced simulation functionalities include improved camera simulations for small cameras, a faster collision-free planner<\/a>, and improved performance for virtual reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Expanded API Documentation and Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As well as adding to the software’s functionality, we are also always adding to the documentation to make it easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, we have added comprehensive documentation for the API module and its new options, such as customizing zoom and rotation speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. Import and Export Settings as INI Files<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A new option now exists to important export settings for RoboDK as a single INI file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This simplifies transferring configurations between different installations of RoboDK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. Enhanced Support for Scara Robots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RoboDK already has significant support for Scara robots<\/a>. But, with the newest versions, we have enhanced that support even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples of this increased support include supporting Mecademic Scara robots and a new option to add a translation on the first axis of Scara robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. Robust Integration with Measurement Systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We already support a range of advanced measurement systems, such as various popular laser trackers, and we keep adding to this compatibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest versions of RoboDK now officially support OptiTrack as a measurement system. We have also improved integration with ballbar measurement systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. Customizable UI and Simulation Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The user interface (UI) is now even more customizable than it was previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new UI now includes options to customize slider and text box step increments. You can also rename groups of programs in bulk and customize rotation speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. Improved Compatibility Across the Board<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Updates across the board have improved compatibility with various robots, drivers, post processors, and many other robot components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robotics involves integrating many hardware components into a single functional system. At RoboDK, we are committed to improving compatibility and increasing features wherever we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These 20 updates are just the latest step in our quest to make your robot programming as easy as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
