When creating a path, start and end points can now be automatically adjusted to prevent collisions and other robot errors. This automation provides complete flexibility in how adjustments are made—set tolerances for push/pull angle, twist, and offsets to find the optimal torch positions effortlessly.
This feature can be used both when creating individual paths, and when using automatic programming.
Sync Program is designed to keep OCTOPUZ programs in sync with pendant modifications by importing updated touch-up positions. Quickly updates your OCTOPUZ program to reflect any positional adjustments, ensuring consistency across platforms with minimal effort.
In this release, this feature now supports FANUC robots (in addition to already supported ABB & YASAKWA robots).
The “Import Robot Programs” feature can import a backup or code file created at the physical robot. In addition to the many brands already supported, this feature now supports Kawasaki robots.

Our revamped weld detection automation now excels at detecting weld locations in parts with complex assemblies. Identify the optimal weld points on multi-body CAD parts, making automated part programming faster, more accurate, and efficient.
Keep OCTOPUZ programs in sync with pendant modifications by instantly importing updated touch-up positions all at once. This feature quickly updates your OCTOPUZ program to reflect any positional adjustments, ensuring consistency across platforms with minimal effort.
Seamlessly transform existing paths to fit new positions, automatically adapting to variations in size and orientation for enhanced flexibility and precision in part programming.
Easily visualize the robot's working envelope as a 3D sphere, enabling clearer understanding of reach and limitations within your work environment.
Simplify your workflow with improved selection tools. Click or drag to select paths, searches, and motions directly in the 3D World for faster and more intuitive editing. This works seamlessly when using automatic programming, or when interacting with statements in the program editor.
LEARN MOREStatic components are now available in the OCTOPUZ Online Library. Static components include sample parts, fixtures, equipment (such as welding power sources, wire feeders, etc.), fencing, and more. Quickly grab these components from the online library and bring them into your robot cell.
Previously added static components can now be modified to replace or update the visual CAD, to change collision geometry, and to redefine the component’s origin location. This is extremely useful to quickly update your CAD and parts without having to redo any existing programming.
A new feature allows all components in a project file to be exported to a single CAD file. Saving an entire robot cell as a single CAD file is useful for file validation or sharing with other parties, as it allows a fully constructed cell in a CAD software to be viewed without requiring access to OCTOPUZ.

An enhanced CAD import workflow includes new options to optimize CAD file settings, as well the ability to import of multiple CAD files at once, drag and drop CAD files into the 3D World, and more.
The OCTOPUZ Code Engine, responsible for generating robot code from programs created in OCTOPUZ, can now receive updates separate from app updates. This allows for faster and more streamlined enhancements to robot brand posts.
A new Transform method called "Shift" can move or copy paths and searches using coordinate values.
Collision detection has been optimized to be faster and provide better information on collision groups. In addition, a new feature called "Collision Tolerance" can add a safety margin to detected collisions.
A new feature used when calibrating a new robot cell, define a specific set of points to be used with automatic calibration tools.
LEARN MOREA new feature called “Save Assist” helps with project file saving on a set interval with either save reminders, save prompts, or fully automatic saving. In addition, create an accessible “Version History” of your project with backups taken each time you save your project.
Multi-robot support gets even better with the ability to program multiple robots in parallel using a single part positioner and coordinated motion. This works with both ABB MultiMove and Yaskawa Twin Synchronous System.
Take an IFC file containing parts and welds created in Tekla and import it into OCTOPUZ to automatically generate fully modifiable welds.
A Halt statement will stop the simulation when reached until simulation is resumed, and will also stop the real robot system until it is resumed on the pendant (often called a Pause or Stop command depending on the robot brand).
