Programming Robotic Arms, Robotic Training Courses, Robotic Simulation & Robotic Cell Design
What else we can offer?
Manufacturers of robots emphasize easy-to-use and modern programming robotic arms, as well as robot training courses and simulation tools. However, the design of a robotic cell must address the differences between conventional automation and robotic applications due to the larger size of industrial robots, higher power consumption, and the potential for serious injury.
Programming Robotic Arms
There are many software tools available for programming robots, and the choice of software depends on the type of robot and the programming language used.
Robotic Training Courses
Our Robotic training courses can be beneficial for both beginners who want to enter the field of robotics and experienced professionals seeking to enhance their skills.
Robotic Simulation & Robot Cell Design
Robotic simulation and robot cell design play a significant role in optimising the performance, efficiency, and safety of robotic systems in various industries.
Our Robotic Skills
With advancements in technology, robotics has become an integral part of many industries, including manufacturing.
Programming robotic arms plays a vital role in ensuring that the manufacturing process runs seamlessly.
Robotic training helps operators to learn the necessary skills to utilize the robots effectively while maintaining safety protocols.
Robotic cell design requires careful consideration of the production process, including the size and shape of the products and materials needed, to ensure that the cell operates efficiently. Additionally, robotic simulation helps to identify any potential errors or bottlenecks in the system before implementation, saving time and resources.
At our company, we pride ourselves on our expertise in all aspects of robotics and take a deep dive into the specific needs of our clients, enabling us to offer tailored solutions that meet their exact requirements.
Programming Robotic Arms
When programming robotic arms, robot operators use software commands or instructions that allow the robot arm to perform certain tasks. Moreover, robot programming is a well-organized structure that includes the use of pushbuttons to indicate when to start or stop the operation. However, the operator needs to consider each of these elements carefully when programming robotic arms. Please bear in mind that robotic software varies according to the robot manufacturer.
At this stage, operators need to consider the safety cell components. Mainly, the robot is a set of robust mechanical devices capable of causing serious injuries to the operator.
Steps for Offline Robotic Programming Arms
Here below is a breakdown of the steps that take place for the robot programming aspect:
- We build a complete robot cell simulation using the CAD data from the project (Fixturing CAD models, End Of Arm Tooling CAD models, Peripheral equipment CAD Models, and Guarding and Safety Devices).
- Define the TCPs (Tool Centre Points) for each element of the End Of Arm Tooling
- We define the fixturing and cell coordinate systems (Work Objects ABB, User Frames FANUC, Base Coordinates KUKA).
- We program the key movement positions via the simulation.
- Define the virtual IO.
- Create the offline program structure in some form of text editor, for example, Notepad++
- Import the programs into the simulation software.
- Test the robot cycles.
- We will send the robot programs and setup files to the customers after testing.
- The customer imports the robot programs and setup files into the robot onsite.
- The customer tests the sequences and reports back any areas requiring attention.

Why should you provide robotic training to your staff?
Robotic training improves staff efficiency and productivity, increases job satisfaction, and future-proofs the workforce. Moreover, this investment in professional development boosts morale, retention rates, and keeps employees relevant and adaptable in the face of technological advancements, giving companies a competitive edge.
Therefore, robotic training is essential in new installations and contributes to faster and more effective start-ups. However, robot operators should be updated with the latest robotic training, according to new robot manufacturer specifications. For example, ABB Training, KUKA Training, and Fanuc Robot Training may vary between robot brands and continuously improve robot performance. Click here to learn more about robotic applications.
Robotic Cell Design
When it comes to designing a cell layout, it’s important to consider the specific needs and requirements of your facility. Depending on the nature of your production processes and the products you’re producing, different cell layouts may be more suitable than others. For example, a U-shaped layout may be ideal for facilities with high product variety and low volume, as it enables a flexible workflow with short distances between workstations.
On the other hand, a straight-line layout may be more appropriate for high-volume, low-variety production where efficiency is key. Additionally, the size and shape of your facility, as well as the types of equipment and machinery you have, can also impact the type of cell layout that would work best. Ultimately, careful analysis and planning are necessary to determine the optimal cell layout for your unique needs.
Robotic Cell Design - Safety Components
When designing a robotic cell, it is essential to consider safety components. These components help prevent accidents that could lead to injuries or damage to equipment. Some examples of safety components include emergency stop buttons, light curtains, perimeter fencing, safety mats, and interlock switches. Each of these safety measures plays a vital role in maintaining and improving the safety of the robotic cell. Furthermore, it is crucial to ensure that safety components are in excellent working condition and are regularly maintained to ensure they work as intended if an emergency situation arises. In conclusion, it is essential to take safety seriously when designing a robotic cell and always make sure to follow safety guidelines and regulations.
Phoenix can help you choose the robotic cell layout and safety components that best suit your work. Our experts can also assist you in the selection process if you have any confusion in your mind.
Robotic Simulation
Offline Robotic Packages
Using our robotic simulation packages, robotic movements can be programmed and monitored offline, without the need for the robots to be physically active. This allows the robots to be tested for accuracy and efficiency in a virtual environment before being deployed in physical settings.
Offline robotic packages are increasingly popular in industrial manufacturing, particularly for tasks such as welding, cutting, painting, and assembly. Their use reduces downtime, increases production efficiency, and enhances worker safety by removing them from hazardous work environments. Offline robotic packages can also be used for training purposes, enabling workers to learn how to operate and program robots in a secure and controlled environment. As a result, workers and machines no longer have to be exposed to hazards, which makes workplaces safer.
Phoenix provides robotic simulation and offline robot programming to support our customers in the best way possible. As a result, we have added a new service to our portfolio and we are conducting multiple site commissioning and programming tasks remotely.
