Aligned Components

Aligned components: Robot models, grippers, and force and torque sensors must have kinematic dimensions that are identical for both RPS and Process Simulate. In Tecnomatix 17.0, a limited set of Universal Robots models and other devices are available in the installation. Those are aligned to the RPS model. Components can be aligned using a dedicated tool. When selected, aligned components are identified and later reduce the number of steps in the RPS setup wizard. Components that are not aligned can be used until alignment is done. This video shows the improved interaction when creating a new operation. Selecting the robot identifies the robot and the components attached to it (gripper, camera, force sensor, torque sensor). If the Process Simulate component is aligned with the RPS component, a green check mark icon is added to the item. If it is not aligned, a red mark is added. If red (like the gripper in this case), you can click the icon to get the RPS component that is defined for the item. Successfully aligning all components makes RPS robot configuration much simpler, with only the meaningful stages available.
