Complex kinematics and easy operation

01 March 2016

B&R has expanded its range of modular mapp software components with the new mapp RoboX and mapp Teach which are designed to make the task of getting robotic systems configured and ready for operation more quickly and easily.

mapp RoboX can be used to control any kinematic system with up to 15 axes. Developers enjoy complete design freedom while still benefiting from all the conveniences of mapp technology. The robot is simple to parameterise, with visualisation and diagnostics already on board. This saves valuable time, both in development and during operation.

For the next step there is mapp Teach, which provides teach-in functionality to define and manage the robot's movement sequences.

mapp technology consists of individually encapsulated blocks that streamline development of new applica-tions. The components provide basic functionality that can be configured graphically – cutting development times by an average of 67%. All mapp components are connected via mapp links. Each mapp component retrieves the data it needs from other components using a client-server model.
