OBELISK
OFFLINE SOFTWARE FOR ROBOTIC BENDING WORKCELLS
what is OBELISK
Obelisk is Euclid Labs’ longest-standing offline programming software, developed specifically for robotic press brake cells. Trusted by manufacturers worldwide, it enables users to simulate, validate and optimize the entire bending process before production, reducing downtime while improving flexibility and reliability.
WHY CHOOSE OBELISK
Obelisk brings the entire robotic bending workflow into a single software environment. From importing the DXF file to validating the process in a complete 3D simulation and automatically generating machine programs, every phase is managed offline to reduce commissioning time and production downtime.
START A PROJECT WITH OBELISK
1. CELL DEFINITION AND PRODUCT CATALOG
- Select the robotic cell you want to work on, define the product to
be processed, and import the DXF file to start the project.
2. WORK CYCLE DEFINITION
- Set the final bending geometry (angles, directions, sequence).
- Define the gripper, thickness, weight, and loading/unloading systems.
- Configure the press brake tool stations and the positioning of the back gauge.
- When using external software for offline bending design (e.g., Autopol, Lantek, etc.), it is only necessary to define the gripper
and the loading/unloading operations.
3. 3D ENVIRONMENT SIMULATION
- Simulate the behavior of the robotic cell in a 3D environment that accurately reflects the real plant.
- Validate every stage of the production cycle before going into production.
- Analyze collisions and optimize robot kinematics and reachability throughout all operations.
- Define and manage customized palletization patterns.
4. TRAJECTORY AND PROGRAM GENERATION
- Calculate robot trajectories and complete the work cycle.
- Generate machine programs for the robot and press brake, and export them directly to the production system.
- Compatible with the leading brands (ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa, ESTUN, Stäubli, etc.).
