Robot Master For Mastercam Crack Software
Sandrine Willert
The plugin makes it easy to convert Mastercam CAD/CAM data into an optimized, error-free robotic program. Once installed, users can import CAD files, tool paths, data, and process-specific information directly into Robotmaster. They can then synchronize files so changes made to the original Mastercam file are transferred to Robotmaster without needing to reprogram. In addition to a 75 percent reduction in programming time, the new plugin allows users to use a robot programming method that can automatically identify and resolve programming errors that could otherwise go unnoticed when using a manual process.
The new Robotmaster plugin for Mastercam supports Mastercam 2023, the current release, as well as Mastercam 2021 and 2022. And while the new plugin streamlines robotic programming for Mastercam customers, those looking for a standalone solution can simply rely on Robotmaster's integrated CAD/CAM functionality. The software allows customers to import the CAD model for their part and generate toolpaths directly within Robotmaster without the need for separate CAD/CAM software.

(Part 7 of 9) There are many ways Mastercam and our partners are harnessing integrated data technology to improve manufacturing performance and profitability. Here we take a look at CAD/CAM for robots.
As of January 2023, robot programming tool Robotmaster provides additional support for Mastercam CAD/CAM software products. Together, the two provide seamless integrated functionality between specialized, CNC machining-focused CAD/CAM programming and CAD/CAM robot programming. See how this partnership can benefit you and your shop.
Robotmaster now offers a plugin for the Mastercam CAD/CAM suite of CNC machining products (Mastercam 2021 and newer). The plugin makes it fast and easy to import CAD and CAM data directly into Robotmaster from Mastercam. It even has the ability to synchronize the data so that any edits to the CAD model or toolpaths made in Mastercam will automatically populate in Robotmaster. After programming is complete, the Robotmaster Interactive Simulation Environment (RISE) provides a real-time visual verification of the programming process, alerting users of any robotic errors and possible collisions. Errors are color coded, displayed on a single screen, and can be resolved within a few clicks with software-generated solutions. After a program is finalized, the result is an optimized robot program. Robotmaster applications experts expect this integrated CAD/CAM functionality to reduce robot programming time by 75 percent.
Mastercam and Robotmaster both excel in one regard above others: optimizing and automating the minute details of CAD/CAM functions without requiring users to oversee every single facet. They take care of the busy work. This particular partnership becomes invaluable to any shop considering integrating robotic automation. For a shop that struggles to find people to operate machines, it offers a software solution that is easy to learn and that does not require any specific expertise aside from basic CAD/CAM. For a shop that often deals with high mix, low volume production runs, it eliminates the need to tediously and manually reprogram robots for each run and keeps machines running around the clock. For a shop that promises parts that hold the tightest of tolerances, it delivers advance simulation as well as automatically optimized CNC machine and robotic motion.
Before jumping all in with CAD/CAM robot programming, first contact your local Mastercam Reseller or the experts at Robotmaster. They will help you pinpoint the junctions in your shop where integrated CAD/CAM robot functionality will most benefit your company and guide you in the process of incorporating it. Consider also trying the free Mastercam Learning Edition to develop a better understanding of what Mastercam products can do for you.

About Robotmaster
Hypertherm develops Robotmaster software, which seamlessly integrates CAD/CAM based robot programming, simulation and program generation. Common robot programming challenges typically require intricate user intervention or costly manual editing for producing error-free programs. Robotmaster provides innovative tools to effortlessly optimize robot programs producing error-free robot paths, avoiding singularity zones and collisions, working around joint and reach limitations, and optimizing tool orientations along the entire trajectory. Furthermore, Robotmaster software is ideally suited to program robots for such tasks as trimming, de-burring, polishing, welding, dispensing, grinding, spraying, painting and 3D machining, while supporting most industrial robot brands. www.robotmaster.com
Robotmaster V6.4 or V6.5 are not compatible with V6.2 or V6.3. If any of these versions are currently installed in the computer, they need to be uninstalled first. Before uninstalling, do a backup of your Robotmaster shared files (Robot setups, Tool Setups, Post processors, Process Definitions, SEP files. etc.). Robotmaster V6.4/5 can be installed side by side with Robotmaster V6.1 or older.
The RoboDK add-in for Mastercam allows you to quickly set up robot machining projects directly from Mastercam. With this plugin you can easily combine Mastercam software for machining and RoboDK for simulation and offline programming of industrial robot arms.
With this Mastercam add-in you can easily generate error-free programs for robot machining directly from Mastercam. Alternatively, RoboDK also supports NCI (native preprocessed Mastercam files), and standard APT CLS and G-code files.
The Robot setup button opens a project management window and allows opening an existing robot machining project or set up a new robot machining project. The goal of the robot setup is to select the robot, load an EOAT (End of Arm Effector, or TCP) and add at least one reference frame. The following options are available:
A green check mark will be displayed if the program is feasible with the selected robot. If there are any issues (such as singularities, axis limits or reach issues), a red mark will be displayed with a message of the issue.
Right click a program and select Run to simulate it (or double click the program). You can also select Generate robot program (F6) to obtain the robot program that needs to be loaded on the robot controller. More information about how to generate robot programs is available in the Offline Programming section.
For example, when you use a KUKA robot, RoboDK generates automatically uses the post processor for KRC2 robots (called KUKA KRC2), however, if you have a KRC4 you can choose the KUKA KRC4 post processor.
You can generate robot programs directly from Mastercam once your RoboDK station is ready. To do so, select Generate selected robot program . This option will update the robot program according to the machining toolpath defined in Mastercam.
I'm curious to hear from other members who are milling with a 6-axis robot arm. Has anyone on this board successfully implemented robot arms for machining parts? I've got a customer looking for solution to trim formed plastic components. The location they want to use however is on the second story of a building, so there is no ability to pour a proper foundation. The second limitation is 8 feet of clearance height, floor to ceiling.
This is way out of my expertise so I don't have a lot to offer but I am interested in following what responses you get. I have a 6 axis Yaskawa robot and am interested in setting it up to mill also if the right projects came along. To this end I contacted Robotmaster ( ) and discussed it with them. At the time, about two years ago they had a program that would utilize Mastercam Mill to toolpath then their program integrated the robot with collision avoidance and things like that. Like I said I don't know that much but I've seen it done and it's pretty cool and not many people are doing it at least that I can find on the internet. Here's a video of using it in a woodworking application.
