Does there exist in the world a software package/program which would enable 
OFF-LINE programming of a six axis welding robot.

The robot in question is a YASKAWA MOTOMAN K10S, currently operated via a
YASNAC ERC controller using a newly developed high level language called
"INFORM" for ON-LINE programming. A normal welding operation would require
movement of all six axes.

I want to be able to graphically simulate the robot commands on computer screen
and then save these commands to a program that can then be loaded to run the
robot.

OK if such software requires integration with other CAD/KINEMATICS packages.

Any RELEVANT info appreciated. JOHN QUINN.
