Abstract
A system and a method for displaying a three-dimensional robotic workcell data includes generating the robotic workcell data, a display device including a web browser for receiving the robotic workcell data in a standard format and displaying a three-dimensional rendering of the robotic workcell data, and manipulating the three-dimensional rendering on the display device.
Claims18
A system for displaying a three-dimensional robotic workcell data comprising:
- a generator of the robotic workcell data representing at least one of a physical structure of a workcell and a virtual representation of the physical structure of the workcell, the robotic workcell data including a three-dimensional model of a robot and other structure of the workcell, the other structure of the workcell including one of a robot support fixture, a load balance group, a conveyor station, tooling, a virtual wall, a machine workspace, a work piece, and a physical safety fence, and communicating the robotic workcell data in a standard format;
- a display device including a web browser for receiving the robotic workcell data in the standard format from the generator, and displaying a three-dimensional rendering of the robotic workcell data in a visual output, the three-dimensional rendering including the three-dimensional model of the robot and the other structure of the workcell;
- and
- a manipulator of the three-dimensional rendering of the visual output on the display device, wherein each of the robot and the other structure of the workcell are individually selectable in the three-dimensional rendering by a user with the manipulator to view and configure settings of, and to manipulate the visual output associated with, the three-dimensional model.
