IPS is a math based software tool for automatic verification of assembly feasibility, design of flexible components, motion planning and optimization of multi-robot stations, and simulation of key surface treatment processes. IPS successfully implements the potential of the virtual world. IPS is developed by FCC and distributed by IPS AB and fleXstructures.
Industrial Path Solutions
IPS Cable Simulation
Efficient assembly solutions related to rigid parts are often determined early in the product realization phases with digital tools. However, these tools often fundamentally lack the technology to accurately simulate flexible parts. Examples of flexible parts in the automotive industry are air…
IPS Path Planner
Virtually verifying that products can be assembled and subsequently disassembled for service purposes is an important activity within geometry simulation in the manufacturing industry. Methods and software for automatically generating collision free assembly paths are therefore of great interest. Also, off-line programming…
IPS Robot Optimization
In today’s automotive industry, although most development is done virtually, some decisions still lack a solid mathematical basis. IPS Robot Optimization is an intuitive software application which, when presented with geometry and tcp positions of for instance stud welds, guarantees optimal and…
