What We Do

FANUC ROBOGUIDE Simulation Services

Simulation-only FANUC ROBOGUIDE services for reachability, collision and clearance review, EOAT clearance, cycle-time validation, and layout feasibility. Three tiers, clear deliverables, and an MP4 walkthrough plus a written findings report with every paid engagement.

Optional Rush Service

Need a Faster Review?

A 24-hour rush feasibility review may be available for approved FANUC ROBOGUIDE projects at 2x standard Tier 1 pricing, starting at $2,400. Availability depends on project scope, file readiness, robot model, EOAT/tooling information, layout complexity, and sequence clarity. Rush timing begins only after scope acceptance, payment confirmation, and receipt of required information.

Complex full-cell, multi-robot, or integrator-support projects are quoted separately and may not qualify for 24-hour delivery.

Cycle-Time Validation

Cycle time is the foundation of a FANUC robot business case. If the simulated cycle time doesn't match what the line needs, the rest of the plan is built on sand.

We build your full robot path in FANUC ROBOGUIDE, sequence the motion using FANUC TP-style motion logic and path sequencing inside ROBOGUIDE, and measure cycle time from first motion to last using the software's FANUC kinematics.

What This Answers:

Can this robot model hit the required parts-per-hour target in simulation?
Which motion sequence is most efficient for this application?
Is the selected robot fast enough, or should it be upsized?
Where are the bottlenecks in the robot path?
What is the simulation-based throughput under a multi-shift schedule?

// Cycle-Time Analysis Output

Simulated Cycle Time
34.8 sec
Target Cycle Time

Simulation-Based Throughput (3 shifts)

Representative example. Cycle-time results are simulation-based estimates, not guaranteed production rates.
Service 02

Reachability Analysis

Before finalizing robot model, mounting position, or cell layout, you need confirmation that the robot can physically access every required position without hitting joint limits or entering a singularity.

We test all critical positions against the robot's actual work envelope using FANUC ROBOGUIDE's reach and interference tools.

What This Answers:

Can the robot reach all required positions from this mounting location?
Is the selected robot model correctly sized for this application?
Are any positions near joint limits or singularity zones?
What base position gives the best coverage?
Does the cell need a 7th axis or an extended-reach model?

// Reachability Report Snapshot

Service 03

Collision & Clearance Review

Interference is among the most expensive failure modes to discover after a cell is built. Robot-to-fixture, robot-to-part, and robot-to-robot contact can damage equipment and force avoidable rework.

We run your robot through all programmed paths with interference checking active on the robot body, EOAT, fixtures, guarding, and peripheral equipment.

What This Covers:

Robot body to fixture and guarding interference
Robot-to-robot interference in multi-robot cells
Cable and dress-pack routing clearance
Approach and retract clearance at all work positions

// Collision & Clearance Log

COLLISION — SEVERITY: HIGH
Robot J3 arm vs. fixture clamp bracket
Path: P4→P5 retract | Clearance: −12mm
WARNING — SEVERITY: MEDIUM
EOAT gripper finger vs. part edge
Path: Approach to P6 | Clearance: 4mm
CLEAR — ALL REMAINING PATHS
14 additional path segments verified clear.
Sample output only. Actual results reflect your specific robot, tooling, and cell geometry.
Service 04

EOAT Clearance Review

End-of-arm tooling is where many clearance problems hide. A gripper or process tool that clears in a CAD still can foul a fixture, a nest, or the part itself once it moves through a real path.

We model your EOAT geometry in FANUC ROBOGUIDE and check clearance through the full motion sequence — approach, engage, retract — against parts, fixtures, and guarding.

What This Answers:

Does the EOAT clear the part and fixture through every path?
Is there enough clearance at pick, place, and process positions?
Do gripper fingers or process tooling foul nests or guarding?
Where should tooling geometry be revised before fabrication?

// EOAT Clearance Summary

Pick — nest approach18mm clear
Place — fixture entry⚠ 3mm
Retract — guarding gap27mm clear
Sample Output Only
Representative example. Clearance depends on EOAT detail, part geometry, and fixture data you provide.
Service 05

Layout Feasibility Review

Cell layout locks in early — and it's expensive to change late. Before the footprint is committed, simulation confirms the robot can cover every work position from the intended base and mounting position.

We evaluate base placement, mounting orientation, and work-position coverage in FANUC ROBOGUIDE to confirm the layout is feasible for the selected robot model.

What This Answers:

Is the proposed cell footprint feasible for this robot model?
Does the base and mounting position cover all work positions?
Are infeed/outfeed and fixtures positioned within reach?
What layout adjustments improve coverage or clearance?

// Layout Feasibility Notes

Base position A: full coverage of infeed, process, and outfeed positions.
Base position B: outfeed position marginal — recommend 120mm shift.
Selected robot model confirmed suitable for revised footprint.
Sample Output Only
Representative example. Feasibility reflects the layout and geometry data you provide.

What Simulation Can — and Can't — Do

  • — ROBOGUIDE simulation reduces risk but does not replace final engineering review, safety validation, integrator validation, or field commissioning.
  • — Simulation accuracy depends on input data quality, robot model, EOAT details, payload assumptions, geometry accuracy, process assumptions, and final programming.
  • — Cycle-time estimates are simulation-based and are not guaranteed production rates.
Tier 3 Deliverable

Simulated Recovery-Position Reference Notes

Where relevant to the ROBOGUIDE model, Tier 3 can include simulated recovery-position reference notes: documentation of clear intermediate positions identified in the simulation between a mid-path point and the robot's home position, based on the simulated cell geometry.

These are reference notes derived from the ROBOGUIDE model — not an executable robot program, not a controls or commissioning deliverable, and not a substitute for on-cell validation. Any real-world recovery procedure must be defined and validated on the actual cell by your qualified personnel.

What the notes document:

Intermediate positions that are clear of fixtures and guarding in the model
A suggested sequence from a mid-path point back toward home in simulation
Clearance observations at each referenced position
Useful context for multi-robot cells with tight clearances
01
Reference P1
Simulated position clear of tooling and part
02
Reference P2
Simulated position clear of fixture and guarding zone
03
Reference P3
Simulated position verified clear toward home in the model
04
Home Reference
Home position in the ROBOGUIDE model (for reference only)
