HedraCAM V4 is a comprehensive rebuild — from underlying architecture to user interface, from a standalone tool to a digital twin platform. The new version achieves breakthrough improvements across five dimensions: internationalized interface, modular design, intelligent path planning, large-scale simulation capability, and multi-controller interoperability. Whether you work in laser cutting, welding & spraying, ultrasonic testing, or large-scale assembly, V4 delivers a more efficient and intelligent solution.

✨ Interface & Experience

All-New International-Style Interface

⚠️ Challenge

The legacy interface felt outdated with fixed module layouts, incomplete bilingual switching, limited skin themes, scattered tool menus reducing efficiency, and a steep learning curve for new users.

💡 Solution

V4 adopts an all-new international design language with 7 freely draggable and combinable module panels. Supports Chinese, English, German, Japanese and more. Multiple skin themes with adjustable panel transparency. All tool menus are freely customizable, and a right-click assistant puts common operations at your fingertips. Built-in online help documentation is always available.

✅ Benefits

  • Internationalized UI design meeting modern industrial software standards
  • Free panel layout + multiple skins + transparency control → personalized workspace
  • 7-language support → seamless global team collaboration
  • Right-click assistant + online docs → onboarding time reduced by 50%+
🧩 Module Architecture

7 Modules · Freely Combinable

⚠️ Challenge

Traditional robot software has fragmented capabilities — modeling, programming, simulation, and debugging are scattered across different applications with incompatible data formats, workflow bottlenecks, and low collaboration efficiency.

💡 Solution

V4 consolidates all capabilities into 7 independent modules connected by workflow: Create (Modeling) → Component (Library) → Planning (Scene Layout) → Connect (Communication) → Semi-Auto Programming → Intelligent Programming → Post-Process. Each module can run independently or be combined as needed.

✅ Benefits

  • Create — 3D geometric modeling, robot kinematics modeling, discrete event modeling, sensor/physics engine modeling, Python scripting engine
  • Component — 2,000+ robot & production line component library, customer case library, cloud download & updates
  • Planning — Scene planning, point programming, system scheduling, I/O control, parametric palletizing, cycle time analysis, report output
  • Connect — Controller direct connect, robot/NC/PLC virtual commissioning, vision sensor communication
  • Semi-Auto Programming — Reorganized into 4 sub-modules, 15+ process packages, auto collision avoidance
  • Intelligent Programming — 7+ process packages for autonomous path planning (cutting/welding/spraying/shot blasting/grinding/handling/assembly)
  • End-to-end workflow with zero data loss
🧠 Intelligent Programming

New: Irregular Tube Auto-Sorting

⚠️ Challenge

Irregular tubes come in diverse specifications with unpredictable center-of-gravity positions. Traditional manual teach programming struggles to precisely calculate pick and place points, and each specification requires separate programming — extremely inefficient and error-prone.

💡 Solution

V4 introduces irregular tube auto-sorting. Based on part models and dimension list data, it automatically analyzes geometric dimensions and center-of-gravity positions, fully accounting for gravity and gripper factors. It intelligently identifies actual spatial positions and calculates optimal pick and place points. Combined with spatial constraint-based auto collision avoidance, it autonomously plans robot motion paths and generates programs.

✅ Benefits

  • Precise pick & place for different specifications — no individual teach programming needed
  • Automatic gravity analysis + optimal pick point calculation → significantly higher success rate
  • Auto collision-avoidance path planning → safe and reliable
  • Applicable to warehousing, logistics, tube processing and more
🧠 Intelligent Programming

New: Vision-Guided Adaptive Assembly

⚠️ Challenge

During large-part assembly, workpieces have manufacturing tolerances and deformation, causing significant deviation between theoretical and actual trajectories. Traditional methods rely on manual adjustment, resulting in low assembly accuracy, poor consistency, and high rework rates.

💡 Solution

V4 introduces 3D vision-guided adaptive assembly. The software acquires point cloud data of fixed and moving workpieces from on-site 3D vision, calculates nearest distances, coordinates, and compression between point clouds, and automatically determines the optimal assembly position. It simulates the assembly process with automatic interference checking and real-time point cloud pose tracking. Combined with spatial constraint auto collision avoidance, it autonomously plans dual-robot motion paths and achieves virtual-real bidirectional control through digital twin technology.

✅ Benefits

  • Supports up to 350M+ point cloud data for real-time processing
  • Adaptive compensation for manufacturing tolerances → significantly improved assembly accuracy
  • Virtual-real bidirectional control → digital twin in practice
  • Dual-robot collaborative assembly → doubled efficiency
  • Applicable to aerospace, automotive, heavy industry and other large-scale assembly scenarios
🔌 Virtual Commissioning

Multi-Brand Controller Virtual Commissioning

⚠️ Challenge

Traditional production line commissioning depends on physical equipment being on-site, resulting in long commissioning cycles and high risk. Different controller brands (PLC, robot, NC) use different communication protocols, making integration difficult.

💡 Solution

HedraCAM V4 Connect communication module supports extensive hardware interconnection: with Siemens, Omron and other PLCs; with FANUC robot controllers and NC controller virtual machines; with Nabot, Aobo and other domestic controllers for virtual commissioning; plus vision sensors and other hardware communication connections. Achieving seamless transition from virtual commissioning → actual deployment.

✅ Benefits

  • Virtual commissioning catches logic errors early → on-site commissioning time reduced by 60%+
  • Supports Siemens/Omron/FANUC/Nabot/Aobo and other brands
  • PLC direct connect + PLC virtual commissioning + robot VM joint debugging
  • Vision sensor integration → complete loop from simulation to real machine
