3. Post Processors¶
A Post Processor defines how robot programs should be generated for a specific robot controller. This allows you to execute a simulation on a real robot. A Post Processor is a key component of simulation and offline programming of industrial robots.
- More information regarding post processors is available in the following two links:
Video introduction about post processors: https://www.robodk.com/help#PostProcessor
RoboDK documentation: https://robodk.com/doc/en/Post-Processors.html
RoboDK comes with many Post Processors available, providing support for many robot brands (such as ABB, Fanuc, KUKA, Motoman, UR, …). Post Processors are located in the folder: C:/RoboDK/Posts/. Each Post Processor is a .py file. You must place the py Post Processor file in C:/RoboDK/Posts/ to use a Post Processor that has been provided to you. To remove an existing Post Processor you can simply delete the corresponding py file located in C:/RoboDK/Posts/.
- For example, for KUKA robots the following Post Processors are available:
KUKA_KRC2: Generates SRC program files compatible with KUKA KRC2 controllers.
KUKA_KRC4: Generates SRC program files compatible with KUKA KRC4 controllers.
KUKA_IIWA: Generates JAVA programs using the KUKA.Sunrise platform, required by KUKA IIWA robots.
Python should be installed and working with RoboDK to properly use Post Processors (How to install).
- Follow these steps in RoboDK to link a robot to a specific Post Processor:
Open the robot panel by double clicking a robot.
Select
Parametersat the top right.Select
Select Post Processor.
Alternatively, you can right click a program, then select Select Post Processor.
- To modify or create a Post Processor:
Select
Program-Add/Edit Post Processor.Select an existing Post Processor or create a new one. A template like the example provided in this section will be provided if you decide to create a new Post Processor.
You can edit a Post Processor using a text editor or a Python editor.
A Python editor allows you to quickly test the Post Processor given a sample program at the end of the module. You can also execute a Post Processor file to see a sample of the output that it will generate (double click the py file, or right click the py file, then select Open).
- It is also possible to manually edit a Post Processor without using RoboDK:
Go to the folder
C:/RoboDK/Posts/and open the correspondingpyfile with a text editor such as Notepad or Python IDLE (right click thepyfile, then, selectEdit with IDLE)Make any required modifications.
To get a preview of the result: Run the Post Processor by double clicking the
pyfile (or right click, then, selectOpen, as shown in the following image).
Alternatively, you can run and preview the result sing a Python editor such as Python IDLE.
3.1. Post Processor Methods¶
This section shows the procedures that every Post Processor should define to properly generate programs from RoboDK simulations. This step is transparent to the end user of RoboDK because the program is automatically generated once a Post Processor has been defined. You do not need to understand what is going on behind the scenes unless you are willing to create or modify a Post Processor.
Once a robot program is ready to be generated, RoboDK creates a generic Python file (pre processed) in %TEMP% that is linked to a Post Processor. The pre-processed file is executed using the selected Post Processor and the desired program is obtained.
- General tips when creating a post processor:
Avoid using instances of
Robolinkand/orItemin the post processor unless absolutely necessary.Add a log using
addlogfor incompatible, unavailable or incomplete features (for example, a robot that does not support I/O or FTP).Use editable variables in the class header for added flexibility. More information here: https://robodk.com/doc/en/Post-Processors.html#EditPost
Watch for unit conversion. Some controllers use percent (%) for speed, while RoboDK outputs mm/s.
- samplepost.pose_2_str(pose)¶
Converts a robot pose target to a string according to the syntax/format of the controller.
Tip: Change the output of this function according to your controller.
- Parameters
pose (
robodk.robomath.Mat()) – 4x4 pose matrix- Returns
postion as a XYZWPR string
- Return type
str
- samplepost.joints_2_str(joints)¶
Converts a robot joint target to a string according to the syntax/format of the controller.
Tip: Change the output of this function according to your controller.
- Parameters
joints (float list) – robot joints as a list
- Returns
joint format as a J1-Jn string
- Return type
str
- class samplepost.RobotPost(robotpost='', robotname='', robot_axes=6, **kwargs)¶
RoboDK Post Processor object.
As Post processors can be compiled (.pyc), class variables can be exposed to the user for further customization.
More information on how users can modify variables of a RoboDK Post Processor here:
class RobotPost(object): # Public: define variables that can be edited by the user below MY_PUBLIC_VAR = TRUE # -------------------------------------------------------- # Private: define internal variables that cannot be edited by the user below (note the "# ---------..." splitter) # Note the "# ---------..." splitter MY_PRIVATE_VAR = False

Set the output program extension (for multiple files, handle separately)
- __init__(robotpost='', robotname='', robot_axes=6, **kwargs)¶
