HxGN Robotic Automation is an easy-to-use, adaptable, and scalable robotic control program designed to simplify programming for automated measurement and inspection applications.
This software not only connects with the broader manufacturing software ecosystem but also streamlines the data collection process, enabling more intelligent production methods. HxGN Robotic Automation provides the necessary tools to effectively plan, program, and control robotic cells compatible with all major robot manufacturers. It was specifically developed to coordinate the sensors, software, and robotic equipment of an inspection cell from a single, user-friendly interface, enhancing the accessibility, efficiency, and reliability of automated measurement.
By utilizing straightforward user experience (UX) principles and user-friendly processes, HxGN Robotic Automation simplifies robot-based automation, allowing novice operators to work securely and efficiently.
Features & Benefits
Modeling Machines
With HxGN Robotic Automation’s advanced modeling tools, you can quickly and accurately program offline in a fraction of the time. You can either drag and drop elements from the library or create detailed models of any machine or kinematic device from scratch.
Cell Layout and Modeling
Designing and testing measurement cell layouts is made easy through drag-and-drop functionality from the library, CAD model imports for building new components, and visual tools for placement, location, and alignment. This process enables virtual commissioning of the cell.
Automated Creation of Robot Paths
HxGN Robotic Automation’s sophisticated algorithms simplify robot programming by allowing for autonomous development of robot paths based on inspection plans or the volume and area of interest of the parts.
Avoiding Collisions
The program validation engine identifies and resolves potential issues before they occur, helping to prevent costly errors. Additionally, real-time collision detection and avoidance technologies ensure the safe generation of robot paths.
Robotic Program Execution: Offline and Online
The software’s direct interface with cell hardware provides complete control over the actual cell, enabling quick online implementation. Meanwhile, HxGN Robotic Automation’s highly accurate virtual programming environment allows for full program execution in offline mode, complete with realistic data simulation to facilitate virtual commissioning.
Integration with Hexagon Metrology Software
The analysis capabilities for measured data are enhanced through the direct integration of HxGN Robotic Automation with Hexagon metrology software, such as PC-DMIS and Inspire. This integration allows for the seamless exchange of nominal and actual data.
