VISUAL COMPONENTS ROBOTICS OLP

Automated Simulations & Checks *

Smarter simulation

Many simulation tools fall short of the real needs of modern production planning. Limited customization, slow performance, and disconnected workflows with multiple tools can slow down decisions and delay projects.

Visual Components 5.0 tackles these challenges head-on. It runs faster, gives you more control over how your simulations work and includes better tools for testing and connecting to real systems, all on a single, unified platform that brings clarity and confidence to every step of your digital production planning journey.

* Visual Components OLP has multiple products. Please see the complete compare list what OLP product suits best for your needs.

Model-based engineering *

Improved design-to-manufacturing workflow

Model-based engineering (MBE) automates the design-to-manufacturing process by extracting product manufacturing information (PMI) directly from supported CAD files. This includes dimensions, tolerances, surface finishes and other annotations used to generate robot toolpaths automatically.

Accelerate design-to-production with precision:

• Eliminate interpretation errors across teams
• Avoid rework and delays with consistent, repeatable workflows
• Improve quality and efficiency with automated programming

* Available in 5.0 at all OLP products.

Speed up programming with consistent, production-ready paths *

Faster, scalable robot programming

Visual Components OLP 5.0 streamlines automated robot programming with built-in post-processors, extending support to 22 robot brands. It automates robotic welding parameters application and robot path solving to avoid collisions. The new Fronius welding power source connector further simplifies weld job management.

Scale robot programming with speed and consistency:

• Reduce setup time and manual workload
• Ensure consistent quality across operations
• Speed up deployment across multiple robot brands

* Automatic path solver - is available in 5.0 to all OLP customers with active maintenance or subscription. Please see the complete compare list what OLP product to choose.

Automate data exchange with Fronius connector *

Fronius connector - easy, precise weld job management

Connecting welding power sources to robot programming has traditionally required manual data transfer and separate tools, adding complexity and increasing the risk of errors. With Visual Components OLP 5.0, the Fronius connector automates this integration by enabling direct communication with Fronius welding power sources.

Simplify and improve welding workflows:

• Automate data exchange and manage jobs with full data
• Ensure consistent and accurate welds across production
• Update welding parameters easily to match changing requirements
