Abstract :
The authors propose a new robot simulator for manufacturing tasks with easy-to-customize capability. In order to simplify the customization of the simulator according to the required tasks or the characteristics of each robot, the main algorithms for motion calculation are developed as a component with specific functions on the component-based software development and execution framework named the "MZ Platform". As the simulation system is constructed by combining the different components, a function of the simulation can be easily changed by replacing the components. Its cooperative use with other applications on the MZ Platform is also possible
