What is a TB file?

TB files mostly belong to OnRobot Teach Pendant. TB files serve two main purposes:

  • Robotic Task File: They store instructions for robots. Such files work with devices like the OnRobot Teach Pendant and can be used with systems such as RoboDK to run robot tasks. For more details, visit OnRobot's webpage.
  • Project Customization File: Some TB files contain project data, often used for theme or design customization. These files use the ZIP archive format internally.

FilExt.com tips: To open and view a TB file, confirm its type. If it is a robotic task file, use the dedicated robotics software. If the file is a project package, renaming it to .zip and extracting its contents may reveal its data.

How to open TB files

You need a suitable software like OnRobot Teach Pendant to open a TB 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. If you cannot open your TB file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TB file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
