OCTOPUZ Inc. features the latest technologies in automatic toolpath solving. For years, OCTOPUZ has provided the robotics advertise with a intelligent offline programming and simulation solution ideal for a wide range of industrial robots including KUKA, FANUC, ABB, and Yaskawa Motoman.
 
Today, OCTOPUZ 2.1 redefines the standards in offline robotic programming by offering a simplified approach to solving toolpath trajectories. The new OCTOPUZ PathFinder suite of tools, automatically identifies AND solves limits and errors within the program. PathFinder is comprised of seven tools, two of the key tools being: PathAnalyzer and PathSolver.
 
PathAnalyzer will automatically review original toolpaths while detecting and identifying collisions joint limits, reach limits and singularities. Using the developed report, users can easily self-resolve issues or allow OCTOPUZ to automatically solve on behalf of the consumer.
 
PathSolver will control the PathAnalyzer tool to identify limitations and systematically manage errors and present the ideal toolpath to the consumer. Once the process is done, the new toolpath can be approved and is ready to be uploaded to the robot.
In addition to the two key tools, PathFinder also includes additional tools designed for Auto Configurations on CAM Import, Error Visualization, Targeted Error Resolution, Foundational Reference Point Assignment, and Simplified External Axis Configuration.
 
With the release of OCTOPUZ 2.1, PathFinder users can now easily import CAM paths, and with a simple click of a button, it creates a robot path which is clear of limitations and singularities. By leaving the complicated aspect of OLP to OCTOPUZ, individuals can take more time manufacturing and less time programming.
 
OCTOPUZ Inc., headquartered in Waterloo provides intelligent offline programming and simulation software for businesses of all sizes, from small shops to global corporations. Our focus is to provide a robotic software solution that not only allows companies to reach a higher level of efficiency with their processes but also opens opportunities for them to enter new markets and expand their business potential. Our business was built on the concept of taking complex robotic programming and making it simple.
