PRESS RELEASE
DUNCAN 1.3.2011
DUNCAN, SC, March 3, 2011 – Stäubli Robotics has released its newest line of robotics control
software: VALproducts. A modular suite of unique, application-specific tools, VALproducts
includes VALhsm, VALplast, VALtending and PaintiXen software. All feature an easily integrated
open architecture and real-time interface for simple connection to external control systems. Highly
user-friendly, these plug-and-play solutions enable users to perform programming and operations
directly on the control pendant.
VALhsm focuses on simplifying the use of robotics in machining, and is compatible with the entire
Stäubli range of 5- and 6-axis robots. With a dedicated user interface, the software enables
operators to easily manage cutting parameters, create and manage multiple part references, and
manage automatic tool changers.
VALplast, designed for injection molding machine loading and unloading operations, simplifies
robot control and programming, bringing greater autonomy to mold creation and management.
The software also maximizes productivity by allowing the operator to change parameters without
stopping production.
VALtending software is designed to simplify the use and programming of robots in machine
load/unload and pick and place operations. With a dedicated user interface, VALtending eases
robot manipulation for operators, allowing them to easily create and manage different part
references as well as change parameters without stopping production.
PaintiXen painting control software simplifies the application of conventional and electrostatic
powder and liquid paints. Features include a tool for flow control, and a circle function that makes
it possible to generate curves and circles. There are also new swing, overspray and plane
functions, all geared to optimizing control and lowering consumption.
