What is a PGX file

PGX files mostly belong to Staubli VAL3.

PGX files can refer to different specialized file types. They may be Staubli robot program files that use an XML format, holding instructions for industrial robots. These files are read by programs in the Staubli VAL3 Robotics Suite (Staubli Robotics).
Other PGX files are used as Portable Graymap Format image files. They are part of the PageMan image file format and are often viewed with tools like PGX Viewer or XnViewMP.
Another usage is as a Cimon Designer file. This version is used within the Cimon environment on Windows for panel or display set-ups.

FilExt.com notes: Examine the file’s content to decide which software to use. If the file contains clear XML formatting, it is likely a robot program. If it appears as image data, try an image viewer that supports PGX. For designer files, a dedicated Cimon application is required.

How do you open PGX files?

You need a suitable software like Staubli VAL3 to open a PGX file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert.
