ROBOGUIDE
FANUC's ROBOGUIDE is a leading offline programming and simulation software for FANUC robots, enabling users to create, program, and simulate robotic work cells in a 3D environment without the need for physical prototypes. This software family includes process-focused packages such as HandlingPRO, PaintPRO, PalletPRO, and WeldPRO, each tailored to specific applications like material handling, painting, palletizing, and welding. By utilizing virtual robots and work cell models, ROBOGUIDE minimizes risks and costs by allowing visualization and optimization of single and multi-robot work cell layouts before actual installation. This approach facilitates accurate cycle time calculations, reachability checks, and collision detection, ensuring the feasibility and efficiency of robot programs and cell layouts. Additionally, ROBOGUIDE supports CAD-to-path programming, conveyor line tracking, and machine modeling, enhancing the precision and flexibility of robotic operations.

HAL Robotics
HAL Robotics offers a versatile robot programming and simulation software platform designed to automate complex, variable tasks across diverse industries. Their flagship product, DECODE, is a no-code human-robot collaboration software that enables users without robotics or programming expertise to flexibly automate new and variable tasks. DECODE facilitates the creation of digital twins for robot cells, allowing for simulation and validation of machine behavior through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. It supports over 1,000 robot presets and more than 40 CAD formats, streamlining the process of building accurate virtual models. The platform provides customizable toolpath generators, enabling quick and easy programming of robots by combining robot actions with a library of parametric toolpath generators. This approach ensures error-free robot tasks by utilizing native robot functions.

RobotWorks
RobotWorks is a CNC-style program for off-line programming of industrial robots. It is an add-in to SOLIDWORKS, acting upon CAD objects (faces, edges, etc.) within an assembly. Creation parts, tools, fixtures, work-cell parts, and a robot path inside one interactive environment. Automatic path generation along CAD features (faces, curves, and more) Simulating robot and tool motion, collision detection, external axes, robot joint limits, and more. Handles offsets, user frames, and motion in several coordinate systems. Imports points from CNC programs and other formats and make them robot programs. Translates and writes robot programs in most industrial robots formats Affordable PC solution for the end user, simple and intuitive, and has a very short learning curve Among its many features, RobotWorks can generate without effort a path for "Carry Part," in which the part is manipulated against a fixed tool.

RoboDK
RoboDK is a powerful and cost-effective simulator for industrial robots and robot programming. RoboDK simulation software allows you to get the most out of your robot. No programming skills are required with RoboDK's intuitive interface. You can easily program any robot offline with just a few clicks. RoboDK has an extensive library with over 500 robot arms. The advantage of using RoboDK's simulation and offline programming tools is that it allows you to program robots outside the production environment. With RoboDK you can program robots directly from your computer and eliminate production downtime caused by shop floor programming. Use your robot arm like a 5-axis milling machine (CNC) or a 3D printer. Simulate and convert NC programs to robot programs (G-code or APT-CLS files). RoboDK will automatically optimize the robot path, avoiding singularities, axis limits and collisions. Simulation and Offline Programming of industrial robots has never been easier.
