Abstract: Aiming at the production lines simulation performance of industrial robots in intelligent factory construction, the practical application of ABB robot simulation software RobotStudio in palletizing production line was proposed, and its aspects of add transport chain Smart component, the property settings, creation and connection of robot I/O signal, off line programming were studied. The robot end sucker was modeled based on three dimensional modeling software such as SolidWorks/Pro E, and was imported into RobotStudio, then the conveyor chain, robot control cabinet and other components were added, so the entire production line layout was completed; the work station logical of the robot and conveying chain were connected and set, the communication and connection were established, the workstation simulation of palletizing robot was completed. The results indicate that: a palletizing production line need to configure 4 groups of digital input and output signals of the robot, the robot simulation program can be synchronized to the actual production process, the method used in the simulation process of palletizing robot that can also be used for other industrial robot production line simulation.
