ビジュアル・コンポネンツ・ジャパン (Visual Components) Product Lineup

Our company offers the robot teaching software 'OLP 5.0', which boasts top-class speed and ease of use. By directly extracting Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) from supported CAD files, it automatically generates the robot's tool paths based on information such as dimensions, tolerances, and surface finishes. Additionally, by integrating design and manufacturing from an early stage, we achieve accurate, reproducible, and scalable robot teaching, regardless of brand or process. 【Features】 ■ Model-Based Engineering - OLP Automation ■ Automatic Path Solver - High-speed and reliable path analysis ■ Fronius Connector - Easy and high-precision welding work management *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "Visual Components Robotics OLP" at Berlin Gardens, a company famous for its high-quality outdoor furniture. The company faced challenges in automating its manufacturing processes, particularly in welding, as the demand for furniture continued to grow. With the introduction of this product, they were able to efficiently teach robots to perform complex tasks, such as welding aluminum fixtures to the bottoms of furniture, achieving stable production speed and quality. [Effects] - The programming of complex fixtures, which previously took 13 hours before production could start, is now completed in just under 3 hours. - This has led to a reduction in labor costs. - Overall agility in the company's operations has also improved. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "Visual Components Robotics OLP" at Ponsse, a company engaged in forestry machinery manufacturing. When the company introduced robotic welding into its operations, the complexity and time-consuming nature of robot teaching became a challenge. Teaching was conducted online using a teach pendant, and the robot had to be stopped for two weeks until the teaching was completed. After the implementation, the advantage is that robot teaching can be done outside of the production system, allowing for faster and easier progress without stopping production. [Case Overview] ■Challenges - The downtime of the robot until teaching was completed posed a risk of delays in the manufacturing process, significantly impacting costs. ■Results - Significant time savings, improved productivity and utilization of automation, streamlined robot station planning, and achieved faster and smoother robot teaching. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
