Which KUKA software is primarily used for simulation and offline programming?

KUKA.Sim is the primary software used for simulation and offline programming in the KUKA robotics ecosystem. It allows users to create detailed simulations of robotic processes and workflows, enabling them to visualize and optimize robotic operations before deployment on the actual hardware. By simulating the operation of robots in a virtual environment, users can test various scenarios, evaluate performance, and troubleshoot potential issues without the risks and costs associated with programming on live systems.

This capability is crucial for improving efficiency and productivity in automation processes. KUKA.Sim supports the development of complex robotic applications by allowing users to plan and verify their robotic configurations and movements thoroughly. This software is specifically designed to facilitate the design and testing of automation solutions, making it an essential tool for engineers and developers in the field.

While KUKA.Works focuses on the integration of KUKA robots into manufacturing environments through CAD data, KUKA.Cam is tailored for the cam applications, and KUKA.Design emphasizes design aspects rather than simulation and programming, they do not serve the same primary purpose as KUKA.Sim in the realm of simulation and offline programming.
