Simulation of a pick-and-place cube robot by means of the simulation software KUKA Sim Pro

Abstract

In this paper the creation of the program code for industrial robot and the simulation of a robot cell by means of the simulation software KUKA Sim Pro in version 2.2.2, is presented. Simulated and programmed is, in reality existing KUKA-robot cell with industrial robot of the type KR6 R900 sixx (Agilus) with signal connected conveyor belt. The software KUKA Sim Pro is a application for design of 3D-layouts of a plant components and production lines including KUKA-robots. On this occasion, any layouts and concept designs can be simulated and be analyzed. The used components were taken from the integrated library or were partly newly created. The industrial robot KUKA KR6 R900 sixx counts to the quickest robots of the world. In this work, the simulation of the robot cell and periphery is elaborated, as well as with it, connected practical circumstances and issues with the programming of the abovementioned robot. The topic is also presented from the didactical and educational point of view.
