DrAmaT — the art of programming the art of programming
DReS · DrAmaT Robot Studio

The offline editor built for VW-standard robot programs — and standard robots too

Four controller families in one tool: KUKA KRC and VKRC, Fanuc, ABB and Yaskawa. Write, validate and document robot programs at your desk — and catch standard violations before the robot moves.

Why DReS

Fix the program on your desk, not on the shop floor

Every standard violation found offline is a line stop you never had to explain.

On-the-fly VASS Standard check

Speeds, accelerations, Folge structure, access requests, interlocks and welding-gun balance are validated while you type — against the VW standard, not just the syntax.

See the cell in 3D

Load KUKA models and Process Simulate scenes, inspect the work envelope, walk the programmed path and recalculate point coordinates after a tool or base change.

Documentation without the copy-paste

Generate cell documentation, long texts and E-Plan cross-references automatically, straight from the archive you already have.

What's inside

Everything the VW standard asks of you, in one editor

DReS is not a text editor with syntax colouring. It understands the controller, the archive and the standard behind them.

Editing that knows the controller

  • Standard KUKA KRC — edit KRL programs that don't follow the VW standard (separate licence)
  • 1 : 1 VKRC source-code view — what you see is what the robot runs
  • Fully configurable command templates and auto-completer
  • Configurable VKRC User Tech feature
  • Copy & paste directly from VW documentation examples
  • Automatic reordering of M, E and A operands in FB PSPS and FB ONL
  • Replace a variable (e.g. a Merker) across every file in the session

Robot & archive intelligence

  • Robot Check — validates tool, base, payload, calibration and macros
  • Reads the KUKA symbol table (Langtexte) from the WorkVisual project
  • Explains merkers, flags and outputs defined in makro 50–59 and makrosps
  • Tool, base and calibration data on a dedicated tab

Export & housekeeping

  • Export every file to a Robot ZIP archive in one step
  • Automatically adds a new VW User to the resources
  • Automatic fixing of common syntax warnings
  • Works with VKRC2 software version 5.4.0 and higher

Compare, document, verify

  • File diff and full archive diff between two robot backups
  • Automatic documentation generator per controller family
  • Long Text Generator and Data Integrity check
  • E-Plan Reader and E-Plan SPS Reader
  • Process Simulate (PSZ/JT) viewer and Robot Data Spy
VASS Standard

What the syntax check actually verifies

These are the rules DReS validates on every movement point, every Folge and every interlock — the ones that normally surface during commissioning.

  • VB, VE and ACC parameters in all movement points
  • VE and SPSTrigger in all movement points
  • 1st, 2nd and last point of a Folge correctly programmed
  • 1st, 2nd and last point of a Folge on the same coordinates
  • Zutrittsanforderung correctly programmed
  • Fahrbedingungen correctly programmed
  • Roboterverriegelungen correctly programmed
  • Roboterverriegelungen in every Fahrbedingung
  • Genau for KLIN and KCIR points
  • Welding-gun balance correctly programmed
