Description
Note: This installer requires VI Package Manager and LabVIEW to be run with Administrator privileges. To do so, close VI Package Manager and LabVIEW, right click the VI Package Manager shortcut, and select "Run As Administrator".
With the Kawasaki llibrary, you can easily integrate robots into new types of systems and applications for automated test, laboratory automation, and flexible manufacturing - eliminating complex robotics programming expertise.
The library features easy-to-use native LabVIEW VIs for controlling and commanding robots directly from a graphical development environment. With this library, you can program a single LabVIEW application that integrates all aspects of machine control and automation from part-handling and robot control to advanced measurements, inspection, machine vision and HMI.
Using this approach, you do not need to learn specialized robotics programming software, which means you can achieve higher performance and better results in less time. The entire application is developed in NI's powerful LabVIEW Graphical Design Environment.
