Creating a New Project
WINCAPS III provides a wizard for creating a new project.
New projects are created using the following two methods.
• Select robot type manually for creating a new project
This method can be used when the robot is not linked. Used for creating projects in advance of robot installa-
tion (when designing equipment, etc.) Match the settings with the controller to link to. Errors will occur during
linking if the settings do not match.
• Get information from the controller for creating a new project
If the robot and the controller are set up, import one of projects held in the robot controller into WINCAPS
III to create a new project.
Using this method does not require newly configuring the robot type and other various settings, but requires
that the robot controller and PC (WINCAPS III) be connected with each other for data exchange. When im-
porting a project from the robot controller, it is possible to search for robots connected.
