Automation

From idea to solution - easier than ever

With IRONCAD you get all the tools you need to create robotic cells. Use 3D models from different suppliers that are imported and then managed as easily as if they were created in IRONCAD from scratch. Add your own designed parts like grippers, fixtures etc.

The example in the picture is from Lerocon AB in Gislaved, which creates automation solutions in IRONCAD with great success.

Use Drag and Drop to build solutions in no time directly in the 3D environment

You can use the catalogues in IRONCAD where you can save robots, machines and other 3D models that you might find useful. The models in the catalogs can be easily added with smart features that make placement more or less automatic. This allows you to create different types of automation solutions with easy-to-use drag-and-drop technology in a short time. Adjust dimensions directly in 3D with handle technology.

Easily top up with relevant equipment

You can create the models yourself or import them from suppliers. These can be in e.g. STEP format and can be directly modified in IRONCAD without the need for history. Then drag these to the catalogs in IRONCAD, which can be shared across networks and give everyone access to the same 3D library.

Sometimes a 2D drawing is available as a basis for a layout of a robot cell and can be imported into IRONCAD's 3D environment.

All the parts you use can be saved in a single file, making it very easy to manage when files need to be moved or shared with others. If necessary, everything can be easily mapped onto a 2D drawing to provide a detailed bill of materials for all the parts involved.

Test range and function with mechanisms

We provide our customers with catalogues of ABB, Fanuc and Kukaro robots, for example, free of charge. These robots are prepared with defined joints that allow you to simulate reach and function in IRONCAD. See immediately if the positioning is suitable and make adjustments in a short time. The incredibly useful TriBall tool is like a hand into the 3D environment and allows you to check the position of all objects in the X, Y and Z directions with exact precision in a playfully simple way.

Advanced technology makes work easier, faster and more flexible

The catalogs and TriBall are incredibly effective tools in collaboration. Everything you create in the 3D environment in IRONCAD can be just as easily dragged out to the catalogs, which work just as easily both ways, everything can be saved in a catalog file that can also be shared with others. Many objects can be edited in a flash by dragging handles and also placed through TriBall with full control. A common mistake is to believe flexibility cannot be precise. IRONCAD works with complete precision in everything from the construction of the smallest detail to a large layout of 1000s ofm2.

MARAB quickly develops flexible automation solutions with IRONCAD

MARAB in Orsa has been using IRONCAD for many years to create its various solutions. The program is used for everything from initial layout and customer dialogue to detailed drawings.

Makoro AB builds Robotic Cells and Automation Solutions in IRONCAD

The image is a rendering of a robot cell constructed in IRONCAD by Makoro AB.

"We use IRONCAD when we develop our customized special machines. It is simple, flexible and has the functions we need when we, for example, build up surfaces for 3D printing or CNC milling..."

RVT Automation AB

RVT Automation is an automation company that works with most aspects of robotics. RVT uses IRONCAD to design everything from large robot cells to small water cutting fixtures.

"We use IRONCAD because it is very important to use an efficient program, as it saves a lot of time. IRONCAD makes it easy to design large robot cells where accuracy is required..."
