Robot Manufacturing
This section shows some examples that involve robot machining. Some of these examples include using a plug-in to show how to generate the CAM toolpath. However, you can load any generic 5-axis toolpath in RoboDK such as APT, NC or G-code files.
Learn more about example projects in the examples section.
Visit the CAM Add-Ins section of our documentation for more examples on robot machining projects, such as Mastercam, MecSoft/RhinoCAM, Inventor, FeatureCAM or Fusion360.
This example will help you understand the basics of robot machining in RoboDK and how to convert a 3-axis robot machining job to a robot machining simulation and robot program.

This example will help you understand how you can configure robot machining settings in RoboDK and how to convert a 5-axis robot machining job to a robot machining simulation and robot program.
This example will also help you create a safe approach/retract movements between different machining job operations.

This example shows how to use a KUKA robot with 3 additional external axes for robot machining. The cell includes a 6-axis robot arm, a one axis rail and a 2-axis turntable.
More information available in the RhinoCAM examples section. The integration between RhinoCAM and RoboDK automatically loads APT files from RhinoCAM to RoboDK.
This example shows how to use a Yaskawa/Motoman robot for a laser cutting application. The robot cutting toolpath is defined using the RoboDK Add-In for Autodesk Fusion.
