Stäubli Robotics Suite 2022 accelerates processes across all stages of development

The new Stäubli Robotics Suite 2022 impresses with its optimised and powerful new features that allows both standard and special solutions for complex automation scenarios to be readily visualised, simulated, validated, and realised.

The improvements that have been made to the Stäubli development environment and the numerous new functions extend across all scopes of usage, from design, simulation and setup debugging to production and optimisation. An example of benefits for users is a significant reduction in the number of mouse clicks within the Suite, with visible results being generated quickly and easily. The special feature is that, in order to reach the goal faster, a part is selected from the component catalogue and can be dragged and dropped to the desired position in the 3D layout.

The Snap Replace function simplifies the transition from the static designing environment to the dynamic Stäubli development environment. This function is used to position objects/components or to simply move the robot to a desired position without having to create position variables in advance.

Another new feature is the Position Optimiser, which guarantees the automatic identification of the ideal position for the robot to reach every point desired within its available defined working area.

The Stäubli Robotics Suite 2022 is enhanced by Screen Capturing, now an integrated feature. By pressing a record button, the user can capture the simulated robot tasks at each work step within the Stäubli Robotics Suite 2022 and send it to the customer as an mp4 file.

The Control Panel, now integrated in the Suite, supports the user in optimising processes and movements during the simulation. In summary, the Control Panel facilitates better and faster results in development.

Another new feature, and a clear benefit when proceeding to the commissioning stage, is the direct transfer of the Safety Configuration between Stäubli Robotics Suite 2022 and the CS9 controller. The direct transfer from Stäubli Robotics Suite 2022 is now standard.

The basis for many of these new possibilities are down to the powerful new 3D engine, reliably delivering the sort of realistic representation that was previously reserved for the B2C and gaming sector.

This powerful new 3D engine was achieved in partnership with Spatial Corporation, a division of Dassault Systèmes. Spatial’s interoperability, modelling, and visualisation SDKs easily integrate together for higher performance capabilities with increased ease-of-use. When particular customisations were needed to complete the workflow necessary from Spatial’s components, spatial experts were put to the task of making the necessary improvements, allowing the Stäubli team to focus on their area of specialty.

New functionalities and this modern 3D engine make the latest 2022 version of the Stäubli development environment an extremely powerful engineering tool that impresses with its high performance, even in elaborate and complex simulations, all while being a pleasure and easy to use.
