    Hello to the members..

    can we use the Siemens NX robotic machining/CAM with ABB Robot to go for machining (Drilling) of a job in one go, without the need of manual programming. Like Siemens shared some stuff with Kuka robots..Simulation in NX Cam and auto code generation for the complete task.

    Anyhelp on this topic, how to use CAD drawings to control robot motion and machining (drilling) process.

    As a "Can it be done" question, the answer is definitely yes. G-Code is mostly movement instructions, after all.

    In terms of automating the translation from G-Code to RAPID code, I've never personally seen how it is done.

    Yes, you can use NX to program ABB robots to do any kind of machining. You have to have corresponing licenses!

    When you setup а common CAM operation in NX for a common CNC machine, you don't have to specify machine type. But in robot case you have to create your robot's kinematic model and setup some additional robot rules. In short, that is a difference between CNC machine and a robot in NX.

    NX generates a tool path listing (preliminary) in it's internal language.

    NX post-processor geneates output file for your machine or robot from generated internal tool path listing.

    NX have a basic ABB robot (RAPID) post-processor.
