SolidBot

Product tour

See SolidBot inside SOLIDWORKS.

A walkthrough of the add-in in development — from building the cell and calibrating the tool, to teaching motion, welding, and material handling, all on live assembly geometry.

SolidBot welding program with ArcTool touch sensing generated from a SOLIDWORKS assembly, shown in the teach pendant and cell view.

Representative SolidBot development view — welding with touch sense inside SOLIDWORKS.

Cell setup

Build the cell inside SOLIDWORKS

Define the robot, tooling, fixtures, and auxiliary axes as native SOLIDWORKS data — no separate cell model to rebuild or keep in sync.

Calibration & TCP

Tie CAD to the real robot

Reconcile the CAD tool center point with the physical robot, manage position registers, and control on-screen visualization.

Teaching & simulation

Teach, simulate, and play back motion

A SOLIDWORKS-native teach pendant drives the graphic robot, records points, generates paths from CAD, and plays the program back in simulation.

Robotic welding

The launch application

Weld-path generation is the launch focus. Touch sensing, weave, and seam tracking are in active development; multi-pass welding is planned.

Material handling

Pick, place, and palletize

HandlingTool-based material handling built from the same CAD-native workflow. Pick and place is in active development; palletizing and depalletizing are planned.

Multi-axis & positioners

Coordinated motion and positioners

Model headstock positioners and multi-group motion alongside the robot on the same cell. Coordinated positioners are in active development.
