What is the purpose of FANUC Roboguide?

The purpose of FANUC Roboguide is centered on robot simulation and offline programming. This software allows users to create and simulate robot applications in a virtual environment before deploying them on physical robots. By enabling offline programming, it helps in optimizing the programming process, reducing downtime, and improving efficiency, as users can develop and test their programs without interrupting actual production.

Roboguide offers tools for visualizing and simulating robot movements and tasks, providing insights into potential collisions or other operational issues, thus allowing for adjustments to be made prior to actual implementation. This significantly enhances the usability of robotic systems in various applications, such as manufacturing and material handling, by allowing for a thorough testing phase that can lead to higher accuracy and productivity once the robot is operational.
