Stäubli launches latest version of the Robotics Suite

The latest version of the Stäubli Robotics Suite (SRS) has been launched complete with cutting edge innovations. The advanced software tool now supports users at every stage of a project – from conception, simulation, setup and programming to maintenance and optimization of existing robot applications. The planning, implementation and operation of robot assembly lines could not be more convenient or straightforward.

In SRS, the Stäubli development team has created a comprehensive while clearly structured environment which provides a range of functionalities that are normally only found in very expensive products from specialist suppliers. The new software makes it easy and convenient to visualize and evaluate automation concepts and digital twins in a 3D environment.

Simple, intuitive operation

Great importance was attached to intuitive operation. No matter whether it is the first draft, a feasibility check, simulation or programming, SRS offers optimal support to the user, even with tasks that require in-depth expertise. The software makes the programming of Stäubli robots easier than ever before and saves time.

SRS, which is compatible with current Microsoft Windows operating systems, impresses by virtue of its clear and logical menu navigation in which all available functions are visible on a single interface. Optimized dynamic context menu navigation makes the time-consuming search for specific functions in submenus a thing of the past. Thanks to the multi-screen function, the display can be flexibly adapted to user preferences across several monitors.

Sophisticated programming environment

SRS includes all the key functions such as file transfer between PC and robot controller, a choice between automatic and manual backups, and easy creation, execution or modification of VAL 3 programs. Programming takes place in an exceptionally simple 3D multi-robot environment. Ultra-realistic simulation can be achieved with new features such as dynamic parts handling, virtual I/O linking between robots, and the automatic calculation of load data and of additional loading on the robot axes. The programming can then be transferred to the robot controller with a simple click of the mouse.

SRS also simplifies the import and export of 3D CAD data in the usual formats. A further plus point is the integrated collision detection feature which ensures safety in system design. In addition, videos of the motion sequences in the cell can now be created with virtually positioned cameras and used for presentations to the end user. The numerous improvements and new functions lead to a significant reduction in programming and implementation times when designing robot applications.

Modern web server technology for remote access

Remote access to the systems is, of course, also possible with SRS thanks to the web server technology of the CS9 robot controller. The tool allows remote access to the robot controller including 3D visualization. Users benefit from greater robot availability and considerable improvements in the overall efficiency of their systems.
