Dassault Systèmes has announced the launch of its DELMIA Robotics V5R19 solution. This program features significant enhancements to the core V5 functionality as well as new add-on capabilities including Realistic Cable Simulation through Component Application Architecture (CAA) partner IC:IDO; Robotics Path Planner developed with Kineo CAM; and a new paint solution through CAA partner CENIT."Manual programming of robots inevitably leads to large amounts of non-productive robot time," said Pascal Lecland, executive vice president R&D, Dassault Systèmes Delmia Corp. "With V5R19 Robotics, we have a comprehensive solution that is even more robust than our D5 offering. Additionally, we've improved our data loading by 30 percent and our multi-user support by 25 percent to further affect productivity."Other application add-on solutions include Arc Welding, Spot Welding, Riveting/Drilling, and Cutting/Trimming. Additional enhancements in V5R19 include extended translators in the offline programming capability for the Welding solutions to accommodate Kawasaki and Panasonic robots.
