Demoversion

The Robotics booster for your application!

With the Kernel, you now have instandly more than 1000 robots for kinematic calculations, and a trajectory planner (motion interpolation) for PTP, SLEW, LIN, and CIRC motions. A powerful collision detection and numerous mathematical functions are also available.

The EASY-ROB™ Kernel is designed as a plug in for integration in technology-based software applications (host application) from OEM partners. Only API functions and services for the robot functionality are provided.

The host application handles 3D visualization as well as the administration of all geometries and handles of all kinematics.

Our OEM Partners have successfully integrated the kernel into their software for years.

Basic functionality

Trajectory planning and -execution

  • Motion types: PTP, LIN, CIRC, SLEW
  • Jerk free and phase synchronous velocity profile
  • Tool- and work piece guided movement (external TCP)
  • Synchronization with external axes
  • Track motion (LVA), conveyor tracking
  • Paint shops, tracking windows
  • ToolPath (trajectory) definition
  • Automatic reduction of speed, due to singularity
  • Cycle time estimation

Integration

  • Detailed Doxygen documentation
  • Method class ERK_CAPI
  • Programming examples: Kinematics, Interpolation, ToolPath, Post Processor, AutoPath™ and Collision
  • Microsoft® Visual Studio C++ development environment

ERK Interpolation/Trajectory Planner

The ERK Trajectory Planner allows to set a target position with SET_NEXT_TARGET for each loaded kinematic, which is then accessed by cyclically calling GET_NEXT_STEP.

Furthermore, any ToolPathes that contain any targets with motion attributes such as motion type, speed, acceleration, job data, external axis values, etc. can be generated.

Finally the Post-Processor creates a program for the robot
