Open Platform Controller to Develop your Own Safe Robotic System
NexROBA, NexCOBOT’s robot solution, has an open development environment in which users can freely develop their own EtherCAT-based robotic control programs. The Windows-based environment makes it easy to integrate applications such as machine vision, simulations software, and other peripherals into the control system. It also opens the possibility for users to develop time-deterministic programs by providing accessibility to an INtime®-based real-time execution kernel. Typically, developing safety functions for robots can take up to five years. However, NexCOBOT's ROBASafe solution offers safety pre-certified and compliant components, allowing robot builders to develop these functions in just two years. The modularized functional safety solutions bring benefits for robot builders, providing not only assurance of compliance and reliability in safety-critical applications but also comprehensive safety solutions for customizable industrial processes.
