1. INTRODUCTION TO ABB ROBOTSTUDIO

ABB RobotStudio is an application used to model CAD (computer-aided design) objects. It's a cutting-edge platform that's changing the way CNC machine programming is done. It makes programming easier by offering easy-to-use graphical interfaces and powerful tools. This software enables engineers to create precise tool paths, improving manufacturing efficiency and quality. With its advanced simulation features, users can see and check programs before running them, reducing mistakes and boosting productivity. You can download ABB RobotStudio from this this link.

3. ATTACH VACCUM GRIPPER TO ROBOT FLANGE

A vaccum gripper is a tool that is used in industrial robots or CNC machines for the purpose of holding / picking up an object. These vaccum gripper work on the principle of pressure difference.

Vaccum gripper can be simply attached to a robot flange inside ABB robotstudio, Click import library from the home tab and further select user library option to select the user defined components, then inside that choose myNewTool (vaccum gripper).

Then, in order to attach the gripper to the robot flange, right click on the myNewTool option in the Layout section and choose option "Attach to". This function is used to attach the child object to the parent object. You can select the robot's model name to attach gripper to it. Now click "ok" in the update dialog box that will appear.
