Viewing Programs

[mavrick52268]

I have received some program files from a customer to us in a simulation program. Is anyone aware of any software that will allow me to load the motoman programs and view them? Much like viewing a NC program for a cutting machine?

How are you viewing the files?  If someone has used Motosim EG, they could model and program the cell, export the file as a *.hsf or a *.html, you could see a simulation but not be able to do anything with it other than view.  If this is what was done, you would need their tool.cnd, jobs.jbi, etc. to be able to do anything.  If you had these files such as jobs, tool data, etc.. you could use Motosim EG to recreate the cell.  If you don't have Motosim EG, then to view the files, good old notepad or any text editor.  You would not be able to see motion but you could view the job information.

Notepad is probably your best bet here, unless you have access to Motosim.

If the job was written in RECTAN (not PULSE) you can strip out the Cartesian data and load it into any 3D modelling software to give you a rudimentary path.

Hope this helps!
