Product description

The KUKA.Sim product family consists of 2 programs:


s

KUKA.Sim Layout KUKA.Sim Layout is a program for creating 3D layouts with KUKA robots. It
allows different layouts, drafts and robot tasks to be quickly and easily created
and compared with each other. With its extensive component library and
Plug&Play functionality, it is the ideal simulation software for sales teams for
producing concept studies and accessibility analyses without cycle time spec-
ifications.

KUKA.Sim Pro KUKA.Sim Pro is used for the complete offline programming of KUKA robots.
This product allows the analysis of cycle times and the generation of robot pro-
grams. It also enables a real-time connection to the virtual KUKA robot con-
troller (KUKA.OfficeLite). KUKA.Sim Pro is additionally used for building
parametric components and defining kinematic systems, which can also be
used in KUKA.Sim Layout. KUKA.OfficeLite is included in the KUKA.Sim Pro
package.
KUKA.Sim Pro comprises the functionality of KUKA.Sim Layout together with
an additional application programming interface (.Net API). This interface en-
ables other development environments (e.g. C#) to trigger and influence the
simulation in different ways (e.g. starting and controlling).
In addition, CAD importers are available in KUKA.Sim Pro.

2.2 Component library

The KUKA.Sim component library is a local database that contains over 1,000
typical layout components (robots, grippers, fences, etc.) for KUKA.Sim. It is
installed together with KUKA.Sim.
An update of the local KUKA components (e.g. new robot types) is carried out
automatically as soon as the computer is connected to the Internet.

2.3 Intended use

Use The KUKA.Sim software is used for creating 3D layouts with KUKA robots
(KUKA.Sim Layout) and also for the offline programming of KUKA robots
(KUKA.Sim Pro).

Misuse Any use or application deviating from the intended use is deemed to be misuse
and is not allowed. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage re-
sulting from such use. The risk lies entirely with the user.

The guarantee claim becomes void in the case of unauthorized mod-


ifications to the software which are not carried out or approved by the
manufacturer.

dows XP or higher. It is recommended that installation is performed with ad-
ministrator privileges. “Microsoft Management Console” (MMC) should be
installed on the license server. The software can be downloaded from the Mi-
crosoft website. In addition, “.NET framework 3.5” or higher should be in-
stalled.
