Simulating 3-Jaw Gripper and Sliding Rack in ROBOGUIDE

    My goal is to create a realistic simulation in a real environment. I have designed a 3-jaw gripper and a pneumatic-based sliding rack system in SolidWorks, which I have imported into ROBOGUIDE. However, I'm unsure how to simulate these components. Specifically, I want the 3-jaw gripper to open and close, and the rack system to slide forwards and backwards for each rack. I noticed the machine option in ROBOGUIDE but am unsure how to use it. Before proceeding, I need to know if it's possible to simulate these actions, as I have only one week to complete this task. Could anyone confirm if this is feasible, and if so, provide references or guidance on how to achieve it?

    I believe you'd need the CAD models of an Opened and a Closed Gripper.

    Here's a video that should help: Link

    details of instructions for opening and closing the 3D model are directly in Roboguide Help (as well as instructions for opening and moving doors, tables...)

    Thank you for bringing that to my attention. It worked successfully.

    Did you mean to refer to the manuals? I didn’t understand that. Can you explain the term "ROBOGUIDE help"?

    I think he is referring to the RoboGuide Help "Utility". Like the Help that most windows programs have.

    Just press F1 (just as in most Windows programs). RoboGuide's Help is actually really, really good 😊

    Hi svr,pdl. I understand your point, but I have one doubt. When I add the machine from my CAD file, it only appears as static. I want to use it like the tool simulation option (Actuated CAD), where each rack can open and close. Is there an option for this, or am I doing it the wrong way?

    Hi, of course it can be done, see the tutorial.
    I don't know how exactly you proceed and whether you are doing something wrong... try to follow the instructions, but instead of 3D files from the library, put the actual 3D files there.

    ROBOGUIDE Basic Tutorial 2:

    I would love to help you more, but it's quite a long process and I can't write it out here step by step.
    Alternatively, try watching YouTube, there are also more instructions there.

    Hi svr, could you please share the correct link again? I am currently unable to open it. Alternatively, could you guide me on how to access it?

    I created a simulation of a gripper, but it also moves up and down. Can anyone help resolve this issue?

    Looks like the origins of your opened and closed models are different.

    Yes, you are correct. I corrected the assembly origin, and it resolved the issue.
