Application Setup and Importing Workcells

The first time an install of Verbotics Weld is opened on a new device, it’ll require a login with a Verbotics account.

Logging in will update Verbotics weld with access to the workcells and licenses available for that account.

New Project - Workcell list and download options

Workcells can be downloaded and imported via the “New Project” menu. Any workcells available online but not saved locally will have a Download button that can be used to download and store the workcell locally for offline use. Online workcells that have had new versions uploaded can also be updated to their latest version from this screen.

Workcell files can also be imported using this window by dragging-and-dropping the .vbmodel file into the window.
