3D simulation and offline programming platform FASTSUITE from CENIT offers perfect technology integration for TRUMPF laser welding systems

Support for the complete process – from importing component and fixture data to error-free download to robot controller

Stuttgart, September 6, 2018 - The FASTSUITE Edition 2 platform from CENIT provides efficient support with optimized welding strategies and methods for those who have to meet high-standard welding requirements in mechanical engineering, plant construction and steel construction. The 3D simulation and offline programming platform offers a very high degree of automation and allows the reuse of proven welding parameters in a perfect combination with interactive optimizations.

For the TRUMPF laser welding robot systems (TruLaser Robot 5020 and TruLaser Weld 5000), there is now a special technology integrated in the FASTSUITE Edition 2. With this expansion of the digital factory software, turnkey systems for automated laser welding can be operated efficiently and the laser welding process can be safely controlled.
Of course, this also applies to systems such as Amada FLW 4000 M3 and other systems. FASTSUITE Edition 2 software provides the optimal support to use the system efficiently and to receive high-quality laser welding programs. The software offers all functions for the complete process - from importing component and fixture data to offline programming (OLP), simulation and optimization, and error-free download to robot controller. In addition, CENIT experts support the calibration of the virtual cell to the actual cell, so that optimum process results can be achieved immediately with the OLP system. As a rule, reteaching on the system is no longer necessary, as the exact design of the devices and components ensures ideal conditions for safe operation.
Based on CAD data, FASTSUITE Edition 2 greatly supports users in the simple creation of fixtures for prototypes, the reduction of cycle times for production parts or the reduction of programming time.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
