FANUC America has released version 10 of its acclaimed robot simulation and offline programming software, ROBOGUIDE—marking a major turning point in industrial automation. This new version introduces substantial upgrades in performance, visual rendering, and user experience, reaffirming its role as an indispensable tool for designing, programming, and validating robotic cells in a fully immersive 3D virtual environment, without relying on physical prototypes.
Among the most remarkable improvements is the integration of full Virtual Reality support. With ROBOGUIDE V10, users can now interact with robotic cells in a lifelike digital space, enhancing spatial awareness and allowing intuitive walkthroughs and simulations. This feature is compatible with Oculus and Steam VR hardware, adding a completely new dimension to robot programming.
The software has transitioned to a 64-bit structure, allowing for significantly increased processing power and speed. This upgrade means engineers can manage more complex automation systems with greater efficiency and stability, making ROBOGUIDE even more reliable in demanding industrial contexts.
User interface enhancements also play a pivotal role in the new version. A sleek ribbon-style toolbar, improved graphics, and draggable, dockable windows make the experience more dynamic and user-friendly. Setting up and defining robots is now simpler and quicker, thanks to new drag-and-drop functionality that streamlines the configuration process.
ROBOGUIDE V10 also expands its compatibility with native CAD files, allowing a wider range of formats to be imported directly into the platform. This development greatly facilitates the integration of detailed 3D models, making automation design smoother and more accurate.
Finally, FANUC has introduced specialized modules tailored to specific tasks—like iRPickPRO, which is designed to optimize part-picking simulations. This tool evaluates flow conditions, item rates, and design effectiveness, helping to increase operational efficiency across the board.
With these innovations, ROBOGUIDE V10 solidifies its status as a powerful asset for engineers and automation professionals. It enables better planning, reduces development costs and time, and ensures more precise deployment of robotic systems. The integration of virtual reality and expanded CAD compatibility further boosts its relevance in modern industrial environments.
