New Features

Note

The following features and improvements are available in Verbotics Weld 2025.

Support for Multi-Robot and Multi-Station Workcells

Verbotics 2025 introduces support for multi-robot and multi-station workcells and projects. This will allow you to create and plan welding projects that use 2 or more robots working to complete tasks, and will require you to only need one Verbotics cell when programming the same robot across several workstations.

  • Ability to swap a robot between several available workstations

  • Ability to plan weld programs with multiple robots at once

Multi-Robot Program

Autosave Functionality

Verbotics 2025 also implements autosave functionality. With autosave enabled, projects in both Verbotics Weld and Cell Editor will autosave after a set period of time. This function can be enabled/disabled in the preferences menu.
