TelKin is a cutting-edge software tool for no-code programming of robotic material-handling systems, with a specific focus on palletising and depalletising.

Robot compatibility

Available now on ABB OmniCore.Coming soon to UR and FANUC.

TelKin debuts on ABB robots with the OmniCore controller. In parallel we are developing dedicated versions for Universal Robots and FANUC, each optimised for its own controller: same interface, same six steps, same KinEye checking.

    Available at launch

    ABB · OmniCore controller

    The first version of TelKin is built for ABB robots with the OmniCore controller: set up in TelKin, run from the Wizard blocks on the FlexPendant.

    Version 1.0

  • Logo Universal Robots
    In development

    Universal Robots · e-Series cobots

    A version dedicated to Universal Robots cobots, bringing no-code palletising to collaborative cells too.

    Dedicated version in development

  • Logo FANUC
    In development

    FANUC · Industrial robots

    A version dedicated to FANUC robots, with the same six-step guided setup and KinEye trajectory checking.

    Dedicated version in development

Six-step guided setup

Forget traditional programming.TelKin guides you.

Thanks to a simple, intuitive interface, the software guides the operator step by step through setting up their production needs, removing the complexity of traditional programming. The software automatically calculates the pallet reference frame and every placing position: the operator only teaches a few points and describes the box and the pattern.

From setup to production

Started from the FlexPendant.Monitored in real time.

The project is started from the FlexPendant with the PERFORM THE MANIPULATION and NEW PALLET blocks in ABB's Wizard environment: not a single line of RAPID code.

The PRODUCTION screen shows the progress of layers and pallets. Counters can be corrected by hand if a box is added or removed, so you resume from the right point.

Features

Everything you need for material handling

  • No-code, even on the pendant

    Graphical setup in TelKin, start-up with Wizard blocks: no robot language to write.

  • More projects, more robots

    A project archive to change product in an instant; one robot can work with several projects at once.

  • KinEye built in

    Every trajectory is checked for singularities, excessive accelerations and unreachable positions.

  • Advanced functions

    Existing WorkObjects, pallet offset, interlayers, explosion area, reference joints and RAPID procedures.

  • Operation log

    Every phase is logged with position, payload and timing: the last ten days are always available.

  • Versions for every robot

    Dedicated versions, optimised for the make and model of the industrial robot. 2-year warranty.

Designed for maximum flexibility, TelKin will be available in several dedicated versions, optimised for the make and model of the industrial robot it is installed on. The first version is dedicated to ABB robots with the OmniCore controller.

Quick procedure

From new project to production in nine steps

  1. 1Projects

    Create the project, give it a name and type

  2. 2Pallet

    Select the Teaching Tool and teach P1, P2, P3

  3. 3Box

    Select the Production Tool, set dimensions and weight

  4. 4Layout

    Arrange the boxes on each layer

  5. 5Manipulation

    Teach P-1, P0, P+1 and set up the gripping actions

  6. 6Trajectory

    Check the positions and run the KinEye algorithm

  7. 7Projects

    Check that Frame, Box and Layout are VALID

  8. 8Wizard

    Insert the TelKin blocks, choose the project and press Play

  9. 9Production

    Monitor pallet progress

KinEye

The heart of the Trajectory step: KinEye analyses every trajectory, detects singularities and critical accelerations and proposes the correction to apply.
