KUKA.RobotSensorInterface

The software serves as an interface for communication between the industrial robot and its sensor system and enables the programming of sophisticated sensor applications in a simple, universal and effective manner.


RobotSensorInterface simplifies challenging sensor applications

KUKA.RobotSensorInterface (RSI) is a software technology package for implementing applications that require cyclical signal processing as well as high-performance, cyclical influence over the robot motion, including grinding, polishing, deburring and much more. The RSI technology package includes both the engineering tools needed to develop the application and the software components required for application start-up and execution and for controlling the industrial robot.

RSIVisual editor – Effortless graphical programming

The RSIVisual graphical editor makes it very easy to program the signal processing of a sensitive application. The cyclical measured values of connected sensors can be read and processed further via the RSI objects from the RSI toolbox. The result can be used to influence the robot motion. The editor has a wide range of functions, including:

  • Creation of user-defined function blocks

  • Implementation of any desired functionality

  • Complete programming via RSIVisual integrated into WorkVisual engineering suite

  • Toolbox with over 75 RSI objects for graphical programming

 

 

With a distance sensor on the robot flange, for example, a desired distance from a component surface can be maintained independently of the programmed path.

Trouble-free integration and easy overview of your complex applications – your advantages:

  • Simple integration

    • No programming knowledge required
    • Simple graphical programming via RSIVisual
    • Control via the KUKA smartPAD
    • Provision of program examples


  • Broad spectrum of applications

    • Works with nearly all KUKA robots and external axes
    • Seamless integration with KUKA.ForceTorqueControl in RSI applications
    • Can also be used in assembly line production

  • Best-in-class performance

    • Real-time processing within 4 ms

    • Multi-functional interface

    • Seamless integration into KUKA.WorkVisual
