Company
Applied Computing & Engineering (ac&e) is company creating software based application that offline program robotics using path information derived from CAD models.
StruCIM
StruCIM Cutting automatically converts DSTV files into 3D CAD models of structural Steel members and then programs a robot to cut the features on the entire beam. This includes I-Beams, square tubes, bar stock, channels, and angles. the entire process takes 4 minutes and produces a program that can be run on the factory floor.
In addition, an entire job consisting of anywhere from 500 -5000 steel members can be read in, nested, and programmed, minimizing waste and maximizing throughput.
StruCIM Welding reads in various file formats such as IFC for beams and XML for wall panels, and automatically produces collision free welding programs with 5 mouse clicks.
E-hub Vision
e-hub Vision is an application that provides an easy way to model real camera properties and use that model mounted on a robot to predict the visual patches that can be seen using a CAD model for the real part. Percent overlap is computed and an inspection scenario is built that can be then downloaded to the real robot.
This app is a must have for anyone doing inspection work with a robot mounted camera.
E-Hub Paint
e-hub Paint provides surface covering CAD tools and a paint plume deposition modeling ability to provide users with off-line programming and coverage verification tools for surface covering applications such as painting, sanding, polishing, sand blasting, and shot-peening.
