Once a G-code is produced from a CAD/CAM software package and is converted, you can download that program file into a robot controller and run it," says Garmann. "Of course, setup and calibration of the system also have to be considered to allow the real world and virtual world to match each other. This is not much different from what has to be done on a CNC machine." The robot's path can also be edited on the robot or using the Converter software, although the changes aren't retained in the original CAD/CAM files. - See more at: http://www.sme.org/Tertiary.aspx?id=27417&terms=tolinski#sthash.YUE9UooE.dpuf
