Abstract

The article presents the use of VR tools for creating virtual simulations in which construction and functionality of production machines can be observed. As examples, the CNC machine feed drive and the Delta robot were presented. A virtual CNC machine was used to visualize its operation in the EON Studio environment. This visualization enabled a general analysis of the machine’s operation and construction, visualization with various tools mounted in the spindle, as well as execution of the tool movement according to the loaded simple G-code. In turn, virtual model of Delta robot, in addition to the visualization of the action, was used to simulate the shape of virtual objects.
