VC OLP 4.8 sports a modern, user-friendly interface designed specifically for humans. You don’t have to be a robot to use it.

VC OLP is the #1 parametric and feature-based offline programming software for welding robots, and here’s what makes it different:

  • One-Click Weld Paths: Delfoi, the advanced recognition engine built into VC OLP, recognizes weld seams automatically from your CAD model. One click applies all the weld parameters and search methodology from your user-defined table.
  • Universal Robot Support: Works with 1,500+ robot models from all major brands. Whether you have Yaskawa, ABB, KUKA, Fanuc, or any other welding robot, VC OLP has you covered.
  • Digital Twin Precision: Create a true 3D environment of your robot on your computer that matches what’s on your shop floor. The real-world environment matches the calibrated digital programming environment within 1-3 millimeters.
  • Program From Your Office: Create robot programs while your robots stay in production. No more expensive downtime while you teach new parts point by point on the shop floor.

What VC Robotics OLP Does

IT'S FAST! Don't Waste Time Programming

Traditional robot programming takes 8+ hours per new part, done point-by-point on the production floor using teach pendants. For job shops getting orders for 10 tables today, 15 buckets tomorrow, and custom brackets next week, this approach kills productivity.

Your expensive robot sits idle while you could have finished the job by hand. It’s not worth it—until now.

Turn weeks into minutes. Professionals program faster with VC, fully utilizing the incredible breadth of welding functionality. Every day, our customers benefit from getting a program to the machine more quickly than ever before.

High-mix, low-volume welding automation is now possible because you can create programs offline in under an hour while your robots keep welding previous jobs.

The Problem This Solves

VC Robotics automatically handles the three major hurdles that slow down robot programming:

  • Robot Collision Avoidance: VC OLP provides automatic collision avoidance between the robot, workpiece, and fixtures. The software handles collision detection and avoidance automatically during program creation.
  • Joint Limit Extension Resolution: The software automatically resolves joint limit extension issues that can stop programming progress. VC OLP manages these constraints without requiring manual adjustments.
  • Singularities Handling: VC OLP automatically manages robot singularities during program generation. The software handles these mathematical complexities that can cause programming difficulties.

These three automatic features address the most common technical challenges that make traditional robot programming time-consuming and require specialized expertise to resolve manually.

Automatic Solutions to Programming Headaches

Advanced Welding Capabilities

Seamless Engineering Integration

Bring Parts In Directly From CAD. VC OLP supports all major 3D CAD formats, including STEP, SolidWorks, Inventor, ProE/Creo, IGES, CATIA, STL, DXF, DWG, and many others. Import your parts directly from CAD.

Sophisticated Production-Ready Software

Don't settle for inadequate code or archaic software design. Delfoi supplies the most modern code to the latest CNC control versions, such as arc moves rather than hundreds of linear moves.

Next Level Multipass Welding

Add passes and offset for multi-pass welds. VC OLP lets you easily rearrange program order for heat management.

Multi-Robot Cell Programming

VC Robotics solves complex synchronous multi-robot motion and produces a single program. No sync issues or downtime for calibration or touch-ups due to multiple different programs.

FAQ: Robotic Welding Programming

Does VC OLP work with my existing robots?

Yes, VC Robotics OLP works with over 1500 robot models from all major brands, including Yaskawa, ABB, KUKA, Fanuc, and others. You don’t need to replace your existing welding robots to benefit from offline programming—the software is designed to work with the equipment you already have.

Traditional teach pendant programming requires you to manually guide the robot point-by-point on the shop floor, taking 8+ hours per new part while your expensive robot sits idle. Offline programming lets you create programs on your computer in under an hour while your robots stay in production. You simply load the finished program when needed.
VC Robotics OLP creates a true 3D digital twin of your robot and workspace on your computer. The real-world environment matches the calibrated digital programming environment within 1-3 millimeters, providing the precision needed for production welding without extensive touch-up work.
