RoboDK provides over 100 post processors by default to support generating robot programs for over 40 robot manufacturers. Some post processors can be further customized to generate programs with a specific format.

You can find the complete list of available post processors in the RoboDK Library by navigating to https://robodk.com/posts. You can also select Tools➔Open Robot Library from the main toolbar in RoboDK.

Note: Some robot controllers, such as Fanuc and Panasonic controllers, require specific software or controller options provided by the manufacturer to support loading the program files generated by RoboDK. For example, Panasonic robots require G2PC tools to convert the program file generated by RoboDK to a binary file that can be read by the controller. Some Fanuc robots support ASCII files generated by RoboDK, alternatively, you can compile programs using Roboguide’s maketp utiliy. Learn more in the LS to TP Fanuc compilation section.

Note: The list and behavior of the default RoboDK post processors changes from time to time. This means that the generated code using the same post processor may be different with different versions of RoboDK. To prevent unexpected changes of your generated code you should make sure to create a unique copy or customize your post processors so that your generated code does not change when you update or reinstall RoboDK.
