Quickly create multiple statements in OCTOPUZ using our "Create Another" feature - if checked, we will automatically get you started with creating your next statement.
A critical need for cutting and machining applications is the ability to smoothly blend into your cutting or machining path. To tackle this, we designed an entirely new lead shape: tangent arc motions.
You asked; we listened! Setting a unique start and end flare on a path was one of our most highly requested features. For complete tool axis control, you can now define and set a unique start point and end point flare angle and distance.
When using our "Floor-Wall" selection method in OCTOPUZ, you can create a path on an outside edge. Perfect for cutting and trimming applications.
When using our “Edge & Curve” path selection method, a preview is shown while hovering, so you can see the exact path you're creating before you even click.
Jon House hosts a discussion with Aaron DeJong of Accumetal Manufacturing Inc. After many years of manual welding, the volume of work increased and triggered the need to look at more automation. Join this exciting conversation as they discuss Accumetal’s journey with Offline Robot Programming.
What are your options for OLRP? Who offers OLRP? What red flags should you watch for? These are questions often asked by manufacturers looking to evaluate OLRP providers. Read the blog to learn how to pick the right provider for you.

Quickly and easily convert your robot program built in OCTOPUZ to usable code for your physical robot.
Quickly and efficiently analyze and solve for errors in the statements of your robot program.
Discover some of the tools available in OCTOPUZ that provide complete control over path creation.
When it comes to Offline Robot Programming (OLRP), the Tool Center Point (TCP) is what defines the exact working point of the robot; it is the point used to determine the robot's positional coordinates.
Create robotic toolpaths using three unique path selection methods in OCTOPUZ.
Watch how OCTOPUZ can easily and intuitively build robotic cells.
Seam Tracking doesn't work reliably with aluminum workpieces. How can this be overcome with OLRP? By using Touch Sensing instead.
Introducing our May 2020 update: welcome to our next generation programming experience.
There will almost always be discrepancies in CAD, whether minor - a few millimeters of variance - or major - missing key components of the part. In both cases, we discuss the best solutions.
This is a question we see a lot, and so we've come up with five robot functions that are critical to the success of OLRP.
We've put together this short article on our top five key reasons to the above question
Thank you for being a part of the OCTOPUZ family in 2019! We are excited for everything to come in 2020!
Offline Robot Programming (OLRP) is making the integration of robot systems in manufacturing more cost effective, easy to deploy, and scalable.
