Robot Interface 2 (STEP based format)

Robot Interface 2 is a variant of the Robot Interface. Robot Interface 2 allows you to export parts geometry and welding data of assemblies to a neutral file. The files can be used for further processing for robot welding purpose (or other use of geometry and welding trace data).

The data exchange model of Robot Interface 2 is defined along the lines of (but not fully compliant to) ISO 10303-218 for weld data. The language EXPRESS (ISO 10303-11) is used for the description of this data model.

The neutral file format is defined along the lines of ISO 10303-21 (STEP).

The Robot Interface 2 application reads assembly welding information, previously defined by the Weld Planning application. Assembly structure, parts geometry and welding information is exported to a neutral file, one for each assembly. The application provides a graphical tree browser to navigate in the assembly structure and to select assemblies for neutral file generation.

Please note that Robot Interface 2 does not contain any translation to receiving robot programming languages or controllers.
