National Steel Car Selects DELMIA IGRIP 3D Robotic Solution; Software to Be Used for Off-Line Robotic Programming for High-Pressure Steel-Blasting Process.AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Digital manufacturing supplier Delmia Corp., a Dassault Systemes Dassault Systemes (Dassault Systèmes S.A.) (Pronounced - Dasoh) (NASDAQ: DASTY; Euronext: 13065) is a leading company specializing in 3D and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software. company (Nasdaq:DASTY) (Euronext Paris Euronext Paris is France's securities market, formerly known as the Paris Bourse, which merged with the Amsterdam and Brussels exchanges in September 2000 to form Euronext NV, which is the second largest exchange in Europe behind the London Stock Exchange. :No. 13065, DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard .PA), announced today that National Steel Car Ltd., of Hamilton, Ontario, has selected its IGRIP IGRIP Interactive Graphics Robot Instruction Program IGRIP Integrated Graphical Robot(ics) Instruction Program 3D Robotic Programming Solution for offline robotic programming and simulation of its blast-cleaning robots. National Steel Car will use IGRIP 3D to eliminate tool collisions in a high-pressure abrasive blasting The operation of cleaning or preparing a surface by forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against it. Usually explained as the use of a material against another material to make it smoother. It is also the appropriate term for what is known as sandblasting or sand carving. process that cleans freight cars for painting. DELMIA IGRIP was recommended to National Steel Car by the manufacturer of its robot system, who has worked on previous robot programming projects with Delmia Corp.'s strategic business partner, Delfoi. To implement the solution, Delfoi will create a special abrasive blasting application on top of IGRIP, which helps the customer to quickly and easily create new blast-cleaning programs for their robots. "Manual programming of robots inevitably leads to large amounts of non-productive robot time," said Steve Kuzler, electrical engineer at National Steel Car. "The ability to program offline and simulate a robot path prior to production will save us an enormous amount of time and eliminate the potential for collisions between robots, parts, tools and fixtures. In addition, the paint option allows us to develop and simulate the right blast pattern for different applications, improving system cycle time." About National Steel Car Ltd.
