Description

KUKA.OfficeLite 8.7 (Virtual Machine): Your Virtual KUKA Robot Controller

Product Overview:

KUKA.OfficeLite 8.7 is a powerful virtual machine-based software that emulates the KUKA robot controller (KSS) on your PC. Designed for developers, programmers, and automation engineers, it enables complete offline programming, code testing, and system simulation using the same interface and behavior as a physical KUKA robot. This version is ideal for training, software development, and validating KRL programs—without needing a physical robot.

Key Features:

Full KUKA System Emulation:

• Simulates the KUKA SmartPad interface and controller (KSS 8.7) inside a virtual environment.

• Provides the same real-time responses, menus, and file structure as actual robots.

• Test and validate KRL (KUKA Robot Language) code in a safe and virtual platform.

Virtual SmartPad Access:

• Full simulation of the KUKA teach pendant with intuitive touch-based control.

• Navigate and test robot programs, jog axes, and manage I/O just like on a real system.

• Ideal for training without needing physical hardware.

Seamless Integration with KUKA.Sim:

• Use with KUKA.Sim Pro V4.3 for real-time co-simulation and full digital twin experience.

• Load workcells and synchronize with virtual controller for realistic execution and validation.

• Test paths, signals, and cycle times virtually before deployment.

Offline Programming and Debugging:

• Create and modify .src and .dat files directly from your PC.

• Upload and test programs as if using a physical KRC4 robot controller.

• Detect syntax errors, logic faults, and simulate runtime behavior.

I/O and Network Configuration:

• Emulate digital inputs/outputs and fieldbus configurations.

• Test signal-driven automation scenarios and handshakes with other virtual devices.

• Support for OPC UA and Ethernet/IP communication for advanced simulation.

User-Friendly Virtualization:

• Delivered as a preconfigured VMware image (VMDK) for quick setup.

• Run on most modern Windows PCs with VMware Workstation or VMware Player.

• No need for expensive controller hardware during early-stage development or training.

Benefits:

✅ Safe Development Environment: Write and test KRL programs without hardware risks.
✅ Reduce Commissioning Time: Solve logic, syntax, and I/O issues before deploying to the real robot.
✅ Train Anywhere: Ideal for students and professionals needing hands-on experience with KUKA systems.
✅ Seamless Simulation: Combine with KUKA.Sim for full simulation and virtual commissioning.
✅ Cost-Effective: Eliminate the need for full robot-cell access during programming and testing phases.
