Simulation and OLP
Simulation and off-line programming tools reduce the time needed for robot programming at the site, helping to significantly cut start-up costs. Kawasaki offers two different tools that can help: KCONG and K-ROSET.
The first of these tools is KCONG, a high-end software package that is fully customizable and can be used for highly sophisticated automated robot teaching.
The other tool we offer is K-ROSET, an affordable software package that is both practical and easy-to-use.
Features
- Easy operation KCONG makes it easy for users with no knowledge of robots to quickly create robot operation data on the 3D CAD screen.
- Seamless environment for all phases KCONG accepts 3D design data (CAD data) as is and automatically converts it into robot operation data (CAM data). This allows you to build a seamless environment for all phases, from design all the way through to production.
- Preliminary verification KCONG uses a robot simulator to simulate the in-field operations, making it easy for you to check for collision and adjust devices.
- High expandability You can freely expand the software system by adding optimum application packages specifically tailored to the different onsite needs and processes.

Virtual robot simulation technology / Accurate operation trajectory
K-ROSET makes full use of the virtual robot controller technology we have developed through our years of experience in the industry. This technology enables K-ROSET to operate in practically the same manner as a robot controller working on a real production .
Teaching programs are run on the virtual robot controller, thus it is capable of reproducing highly accurate operation trajectories and cycle-time.
Teaching programs created using K-ROSET are compatible with real machines, with no need for modification. The reverse is also true. In addition, K-ROSET makes it possible to correctly execute AS Language code on your computer, enabling you to
minimize the amount of time needed for making adjustments in the field. -
Collision check and layout verification / Operation of multiple robots / Displaying processing trajectories
Using K-ROSET, you can perform a preliminary check on your computer to determine whether items of production equipment collide with each other during operation. You can also use K-ROSET to verify the layout in advance, enabling you to prevent production equipment from being damaged by collision.
Using K-ROSET, you can display the processing trajectories obtained when welding and painting instructions are executed. These are managed distinctively from the air-cutting trajectories. - Enhanced robot system productivity K-ROSET lets you display and operate virtual teach pendants on your computer. This enables you to optimize the production system while training and teaching, without inhibiting actual production.
- Video creation K-ROSET can save data from the model drawing area as a video file while running programs. This data can then be used to prepare documents for presentations.
- Support for extended axis systems K-ROSET can freely customize the external axis controlled by the robot controller, and then simulate the customized axis.
- Importing CAD data K-ROSET supports data in STL format, and can accept data that is output in STL format by a CAD tool. There is also an option available for converting IGES data to STL format.
