Ropsim — PC based offline programming
Why use offline programming ?
Nowadays, industrial companies are more and more likely to utilize flexible, automated and integrated systems of production. Programmable machines, robots, cnc-machines and plc´s have all become a natural part of the automated production system .
This means that the demand for tools for planning and usage of robots in production is increasing as well. Camelot has therefore developed a robot programming system for use in design, lay-out, production and maintenance of workccells in integrated production systems.
This virtual production system is a result of research environment at the Danish Technical University (DTU) and The Institute for Construction and Controlling technique (IKS), after which it has been developed further by Camelot.

This easy-to-use and flexible system is now ready to be implemented - in any company working with robots and robot programming in planning and production.
Application spheres for robot simulation
Ropsim is a PC based, model driven robot simulation system with 3D visualization. The simulation is virtual and allows for production simulation on screen.
When working with production planning in Ropsim you are at the same time building a virtual production system in real time 3D, where experiments and analyses can be made without the need for costly equipment. Ropsim's accurate simulations are very near to be 100% similar to the actual workcell.
These experiments can assist the decision of whether or not to invest or purchase new equipment. In the production phase the virtual production system can be calibrated and used for maintenance, supervision, data gathering and controlling.
Ropsim is:
- Developed for Microsoft Windows
- Able to reuse CAD models.
- Drag 'n Drop Programming
- Robot supplier independent.
- 3D simulation of robot programs.
