Saturn Robot Simulation Software – 83-RSS-1

Request Information

The model 83-RSS-1 Saturn Robot Simulation Software simulates the programming and operation of the Saturn articulated servo robot. The Saturn simulation software includes powerful 3D graphic simulation tools that reproduce the Saturn and the workcells in realistic 3D images with dynamic characteristics similar to actual operation.

The Saturn simulation software uses the same programs the actual robot uses. Programs can be developed using either Amatrol’s robot programming software or a virtual teach pendant in the simulation software. The virtual teach pendant programs are just like the actual teach pendant with the same keystrokes and display screens.

Standard workcells are part of the simulation software’s library, enabling students to quickly set up exercises provided in the Saturn’s student learning materials. Students can also create workcells of their own design to further extend the learning capabilities of the software.

The programs developed using Amatrol’s robot programming software (called "Rterm") are fully compatible with the 83-RSS-1 Simulation Software. Students can develop a program in the Rterm Programming Software and test it using the 83-RSS-1 Simulation Software. The programming software is easily accessed from the menu bar of the simulation software so students can freely go between the two packages.

The 83-RSS-1 Saturn Simulation Software enables students to simulate the robot in actual workcell applications. It includes dynamic properties such as collision detection and parts that can be manipulated by the robot. Each workcell referenced in the Amatrol Saturn Robot’s student learning materials is included in the 83-RSS-1 workcell library, so students can quickly test the robot programs they develop as directed by the student learning materials. The software library also includes individual components that can be used by the students to create their own workcells.

The Saturn simulation software includes a virtual teach pendant that works just like the teach pendant on the actual robot itself. The teach pendant includes live keys that are operated by a mouse click and a display that updates itself in a realistic manner as keys are activated. The teach pendant can be used to jog the virtual robot to various positions in the workcell and teach points that can later be used by the program. The teach pendant can also be used to enter sequence programs, which can be used in simulation or by the actual robot.

The programs simulated in the Saturn simulation software are the same programs used by the actual robot. Students can simulate an application using the simulation software and then transfer that program to the robot for actual operation. This capability enables multiple students to effectively share a single robot, a "must" for project-oriented classrooms.

The 83-RSS-1 Saturn Simulation Software supports student development of custom workcells. Students can create their own objects using the development tools in the software or use objects from a universal library.
