From CAD to Robot-Ready: A Practical Introduction to Robot Offline Programming

Join us for a practical introduction to robot offline programming (OLP) and see how manufacturers are programming robots faster — without stopping production. In this live webinar, Montgomery Willett, Robotics Simulation Expert at Visual Components, will walk you through a complete OLP workflow — from building a robot cell layout to generating and validating robot paths before they ever reach the shop floor. With nearly 15 years of hands-on experience as a robot programmer and automation technician, Willett brings real-world insight into what works — and what wastes time — in industrial robotics.

Overview

Struggling with slow robot programming, production downtime, or limited access to skilled programmers? Join us for a practical introduction to robot offline programming (OLP) and see how manufacturers are programming robots faster — without stopping production. In this live webinar, Montgomery Willett, Robotics Simulation Expert at Visual Components, will walk you through a complete OLP workflow — from building a robot cell layout to generating and validating robot paths before they ever reach the shop floor. With nearly 15 years of hands-on experience as a robot programmer and automation technician, Willett brings real-world insight into what works — and what wastes time — in industrial robotics.

Discover how simulation-based programming can help reduce downtime, improve flexibility in high-mix production, and make robot programming more accessible — even without advanced coding skills. The session includes a live demo and interactive Q&A, so you can get practical answers to your specific challenges. If you're exploring ways to make robot programming faster, easier, and more predictable, this session is a great place to start.

Key Takeaways

  • Learn what robot offline programming is and how it works
  • Discover how to build a robot cell layout using drag-and-drop components
  • Understand how to generate robot paths with automated path solving
  • Review how to detect and resolve collisions before production
  • Explore common real-world applications of OLP in manufacturing
