Description
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to migrate an existing KUKA KSS 8.7 robot program to iiQKA.OS2 version 9.2 using iiQWorks.Sim and a Virtual Robot Controller (VRC). You’ll see how to import legacy KRL programs, resolve common compatibility issues such as deprecated velocity VEL parameters (Vel errors: \bVEL \d*.?\d*, ), and reuse tool and base data from an older system. Step by step, the video shows how to validate the converted brownfield palletizing application in simulation and confirm correct robot motion. By the end, you’ll understand a practical and reliable workflow for converting older KUKA systems to iiQKA.OS2.
The content of this video is intended solely as a supplementary aid for mitigation purposes. It is not a substitute for formal training or certified instruction required for commissioning or operational procedures.
For official training and certification, participation in a KUKA College course is required. A link to the official KUKA College website is provided in the video description: https://go.kuka.com/KUKAcollegeiIQKAOS2
