CIROS Studio is the software for 3D factory simulation. With CIROS Studio you can model layouts and processes, simulate robotic cells and automated manufacturing plants, and visualize sequences. CIROS Studio spans the areas of plant planning, design, electrical planning, controller programming, commissioning, operator training, sales and marketing. For over twenty years we have been developing the software, selling it successfully to the industry and offering maintenance, support, training and services from a single source.

From version 6.1, CIROS Studio has an interface to Beckhoff TwinCAT via which various controllers on various fieldbuses can be accessed via EtherCAT and bus coupler modules. In this way, real control hardware can be verified and optimized on the basis of a simulation model of the plant that is to be controlled (Hardware-in-the-Loop).

CIROS Studio is suitable, for example, for the following applications:

  • Layout planning for new and existing factories, plants and stations
  • Cycle time planning and optimization
  • Automated calculation of processing paths on workpiece surfaces and contours plus possible reworking
  • Offline programming of robots in the vendor language
  • Reachability and collision analysis for robots and other kinematics
  • Validation of control programs for PLCs
  • Virtual commissioning with real PLCs via real fieldbuses
  • Interactive virtual reality presentations of plants and processes in real-time
  • Creation of videos for presentation and training purposes

Highlights – these are the top features of CIROS Studio:

  • Kinematic 3D simulation of even extensive manufacturing plants in real-time
  • Robots from different manufacturers together in one model
  • Extensive model libraries, e.g. more than 800 robots from 15 manufacturers
  • Simple modeling of your own kinematics
  • Mechanism, sensor and transport simulation
  • Physics and process simulation
  • Support for the robot languages KRL (KUKA), RAPID (ABB) and MELFA BASIC (Mitsubishi)
  • IRL script language for sequencial control and for robots from all manufacturers
  • Connection of original control components, e.g. Beckhoff
  • CAD import in virtually all popular formats
  • CAD import with 17 tools for semi-automated model reduction
  • Robot-independent process planning with motion paths
  • Free camera journeys and creation of videos
  • Alternative to simulation: animation of simple processes
  • Full online help with introductory examples
  • Clearly structured workflows that lead to results in the shortest time
